Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Teatro di San Carlo, Naples. The date is given as11 May 1963 in the Discography of «Simionato» by Jean-Jacques Hanine Roussel (p.301), but in the Performance Chronology (p.289) the date quoted is 12 May 1963. Presumably this date is of the first of the «run» of performances. Possibly the recording is of the dress rehearsal. What appear to be highlights of this performance appear as a «filler» on Melodram MEL 27036 (Il Duca di Alba)but the date given is 1 November 1963 (See FANFARE Vol.12 No.4 March/April 1989 pp.147-148).

Comments:- Recording of a performance at Teatro Colón. Caballé quarreled with the conductor and was nearly dismissed, but this was prevented by the intervention of Nilsson (See «Casta Diva» p.112). The conductor is given as Molinari-Pradelli on Mike Richter's website (http://www.mrichter.com), but this appears to be incorrect as according to the website of Teatro Colón (http://www.operas-colon.com.ar) all the performances of Turandot in 1965 there were conducted by Previtali. There is a review on the internet of the CDs issued on the label «Memoria Sonora del Teatro Colón»
