Comments:- Recording of a performance at Torre del Lago (1 August 1997; see OPERA Festival Issue 1997 pp.117-118). The recording on the House of Opera CD-ROM seems to have been made by a member of the audience. The sound-quality of Acts 1 and 2 is quite good, but that of Act 3 is poor. The cassettes issued by Charles Handelman are listed in his catalogue dated November 2000, where the date of the performance is given as 3 August 1997. This suggests that the recording is dfferent from that on House of Opera's CD-Rom
