Comments:- Recording of a performance at the MET (2 January 1971). The performance on 16 December 1970 is reviewed in OPERA February 1971 p.120. According to Alan Blyth the Melodram CD was «quickly withdrawn from circulation as an allegedly unauthorised issue» (ICRC Winter Edition 1997 No.11 p.13}. The Melodram CDs are described on their label as being a recording of a performance at the San Francisco Opera on 29 November 1968. However, according to to «The San Francisco Opera 1922-1978» by Arthur Bloomfield Fidelio was not performed at the San Francisco Opera in 1968 and the opera performed on 29 November 1968 was Madama Butterfly (loc.cit. p.474). See also IOC Winter 1998 No.10 p.7 (letter). According to another letter the role of the second prisoner was sung by Clifford Harvout (IOC Autumn 1999 No.13 p.8; see also the MET Annals). The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape».

This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-

Ópera Actual (Barcelona) - No.74 octubre 2004 p.83 [JV]

------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments:- The recording issued on the «Living Stage» label appears to be a recording of a performance at the MET in October or November 1972. The partial cast listed by «Living Stage» is Renata Scotto (Amina), Nicolai Gedda (Elvino), Bonaldo Giaiotti (Rodolfo), Colette Boky (Lisa), Giorgio Tozzi (Alessio) and the date is given 17 October 1972 (the first performance of the run). According to the MET online data base Colette Boky did not sing in any of the performances (in October or November 1972) and Giorgio Tozzi did not sing Alessio but did sing Rodolfo in some performances. Scotto and Gedda sang in the performances on 17, 24, 28 October and 15, 25 November. Tozzi sang Rodolfo on 17 October and 15 November, Giaiotti sang it on 24, 28 October and John Macurdy (not mentioned by Living Stage) sang it on 25 November. The rest of the cast was as given above except that on 15 November Lisa was sung by Betsy Norden and the Notary by Paul Franke. Amazon suggests that the recording was of the performance on 24 or 28 October presumably on the basis that Giaiotti is given a more prominent billing than Tozzi. Possibly the recording is a composite one made at more than one performance. None of the performances was broadcast. IF ANYONE HAS THIS RECORDING PLEASE SEND ME YOUR OPINION.
