Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the company of the Piccola Scala in the King's Theatre Edinburgh (August 1957; see OPERA October 1957 p.636). The performance on 31 August 1957 was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (see Radio Times Issue dated August 25-31 1957 p.55). According to Premiere's «2004 CD Catalog» the prelude is missing from their recording. The cast listed above is that given by Eileen Miller in «The Edinburgh International Festival 1947-1996» p.187, but Andromeda gives S. (Silvana) Zanolli as singing the role of Giannetta. So, possibly the recording issued on this label is of another performance (in Milan?).

Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Palacio de la Bellas Artes, Mexico City (12 July 1949). According to the «EJS Discography» (p.282) and to the Discography ofDi Stefano's recordings (The Record Collector Vol.39 No.3 p.278) the conductor was Renato Cellini. The «EJS Discography» also gives the year as 1950, but 1949 is also mentioned. The performance chronology and discography in «Simionato» by Jean-Jacques Hanine Roussel (p.261, p.301) gives the conductor as Picco and the year as 1949, and does not mention a performance of «La favorita» in Mexico Cityin 1950. An advertisment in GRAMOPHONE (December 1977 p.1082) gives the year as 1950 and the conductor as Cellini. The balance of evidence seems to be in favour of Cellini as the conductor and 1949 as the year. Hovever Bob Rose writing in Fanfare (Nay/Jume 2000 p,153) concluded that the conductor was most probably Picco

Comments:- The excerpts issued by Naxos are a «filler» on their re-issue of Decca's complete recording conducted by Erede. I do not know if all the excerpts that are on the RCA LP are also on the Naxos CDs. The CDRs issued by Premiere were advertized as «New» in «Fall 2001» where it is stated that «additional Albanese selections» are included.

Comments:- Recording of a broadcast performance (12 or 18 February 1945). GOP gives 18 February, but according to «More EJS» p.163 the date of the broadcast was 12 February 1945. Rothmuller sings Michele's original aria «Scorri, fiume eterno!» rather than the more common «Nulla! silenzio!» with which Puccini replaced it. According to the review in Ópera Actual «Lo verdaderamente insufrible es la calidad de la grabación»
