This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-

Opera Quarterly - Vol.4 No.1 Spring 1986 p.50 [JA]

Comments:- The 78s are listed in the catalogue of the Società Nazionale del Grammofono dated giugno 1918 where the following statement is made Ť...la bell'opera era già pronta nel Maggio 1916. Sfortunatamente per un disgrazziato incidente, parte delle matrici vennero infrante prima di giungere alle Fabbriche. Dire tutte le peripezie delle matrici rimaste intatte e delle nuove, le difficoltà varie incontrate, ecc. ci porterebbe troppo lontano, e forse non interesserebbe.Solo oggi, dopo due anni, ci è dato de presentare al Pubblico il nostro RIGOLETTO completo...ť. Presumably, as a result of this Ťdisgraziato incidenteť in Acts 2 and 3 part of the role of Rigoletto is sung by Ernesto Badini, part ofthe role of Sparafucile is sung by Guido Fernandez, and part of the role of Gilda is sung by Olga Simzis. The quartet is sung by Simzis, Badini, Pezzati (Maddalena), and Broccardi. The original recording was made between 20 and 30 March 1916 and the replacement records on 28, 29, 30 March 1917.

This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-

Opera Actual (Barcelona) - No.85 noviembre 2005 p.87 [JMP]

Comments:- *The Period LPs are listed in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (No.254 p.21), L'Avant Scène Opéra (No.112/113 p.157) and the Mellen Index (Vol.XI p.556) with what appears to be a fictitious cast, with the Patagonian Festival Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Ralph de Cross. It is indicated in L'Avant Scène Opéra (loc.cit.) that the Rigoletto is Protti and the Gilda is Zeani. The only performance that I have been able to find in which these singers sang together in these roles is in a RAI television performance transmitted on 26 February 1955. I have therefore assumed that the recording on the Period LPs is of the soundtrack of this. The cast listed above is that given in Ť50 anni di opera lirica alla RAI1931-1980ť p.132. The CDs issued by Bongiovanni also carry, as a Ťfillerť, short excerpts from a performance of Rigoletto with Protti, D'Angelo, Filippeschi (Caracas 1956?). The CDRs issued by ŤThe Opera Loversť are listed on the website http://www.operalovers.ca. Here the performance is also attributed to RAI. The DVD issued by Premiere is included in their list of ŤNEW RELEASES Spring 2006ť.

Comments:- *The recording on the CDRs issued by House of Opera appears to be of a performance given by the Welsh National Opera on 1 June 2002 which was broadcast by BBC Radio 3. These CDRs are included in HOO's list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 Ť03/12/22ť where the place and date of the recording are given as Bristol and 18 June 2002. The WNO did perform Rigoletto on this date, but in Oxford, not Bristol. So if HOO's date is correct, the recording must have been made Ťin-houseť at Oxford as this performance was not broadcast. The performance in Cardiff on 3 May 2002 is reviewed in OPERA July 2002 pp.848-850.
