Comments:- *Recording(s) made at performances in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (February 1962; see OPERA April 1962 p.278). None of the performances were broadcast so, presumably, the recording(s) was(were) made «in-house». The cassettes issued by Charles Handelman are listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 and the CDs issued by Live Opera Heaven are listed in their «February 2003 Update» and the recording issued on «A Voice from the Old House» label is listed on the website http://www.joancarlyle.co.uk (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). The recording issued on the Royal Opera House «Heritage Series» label is claimed to be of the performance on 23 February 1963, but as pointed out by Tully Potter in his review in CRC (loc.cit.) this cannot be correct as Amy Shuard did not complete this performance. He suggests that the recording «certainly derives partially from 27 February and possibly partially from 2 March.» The end of Act 2 (about a minute) is missing from this recording and «a further passage of more than four minutes ...is lost from from Act 3 Scene 1»

None of these performances was broadcast, so this recording was presumably made «in house» (it sounds like it). The performance on 11 May 1966 is reviewed in OPERA July 1966 pp.584-585. The CDRs issued by Premiere are included in «New Releases - October 2006».

Comments:- *Gala provide very little information about this recording except to say that it was «recorded in the same pre-war period» as the recording of La forza del destino conducted by Marinuzzi. Neverthless, it is stated to be performed by the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, not the Teatro Reale. The quality of the sound is quite good. According to Norbeck and Peters, & Ford's online catalogue the recording is of a performance conducted by Bruno Walter on 15 January 1944. However, this appears also to be incorrect and as pointed out in CLASSIC RECORD COLLECTOR Spring 2008 p.10 it is the recording of a performance at the MET in 1947 conducted by Giuseppe Antonicelli. A recording of this performance has been issued by Walhall and is listed separately.

The excerpts issued by Gala are a «filler» on the CDs of the recording of Der fliegende Holländer. Presumably the recording was made at one of the dates just mentioned, but I do not know which. As none of these performances was broadcast the recording must have been made «in-house».
