Comments:- *Recording of a performance at Teatro di San Carlo, Naples (17 January 1953). According to the review in ORPHEUS «Kaum seinen Ohren glaubt, wenn man voller Grausen hört, wie es auf den beiden CDs auf den Neapel von 1953 eiert und scheppert, wenn BENIAMINO GIGLI einen seiner letzten Nemorinos in Donizetti's ELISIR D'AMORE singt. Gerade Bongiovanni hätte man es nicht zugetraut, eine mit solch gravierenden technischen Mängeln behaftete CD auf den Markt zu werfen.» The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is attributed by the to RAI and the the quality is not indicated in their online catalogue.

Comments:- *Recording of a performance given by the company of the Piccola Scala in the King's Theatre Edinburgh (August 1957; see OPERA October 1957 p.636). The performance on 31 August 1957 was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (see Radio Times Issue dated August 25-31 1957 p.55). According to Premiere's «2004 CD Catalog» the prelude is missing from their recording. The cast listed above is that given by Eileen Miller in «The Edinburgh International Festival 1947-1996» p.187, but Andromeda gives S. (Silvana) Zanolli as singing the role of Giannetta. So, possibly the recording issued on this label is of another performance (in Milan?).

Comments:- *The HRE LPs are listed in «Renata Scotto - More then a Diva» by Renata Scotto and Octavio Roca p.189 where the conductor is given as Molinari Pradelli, the year as 1968, and the theater as «Metropolitan Opera ?». It is likely that this information was taken from the information provided by HRE. According to the Annals of the MET Scotto and Bergonzi only sang there together in this opera four times, all in 1972. The performance on 19 February 1972 was broadcast and it seems likely that the HRE recording is of this performance, Alternatively it could be of a performance in another theatre. The CDRs issued on the Bensar label are (were?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» and those issued by Omega on their website (hyperlinks in CLORLINK.HTM). Both these sources give the year of the performance recorded as 1972. The CDRs issued by «The Opera Lovers» are listed on the website http://www.operalovers.ca (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).
