Comments:- The year of this recording is sometimes given as 1953, but this is almost certainly incorrect as the LPs issued by Cetra-Soria appeared for the first time in «Schwann» dated May 1952 and were reviewed in ARG June 1952. What appears to be this recording was broadcast by RAI Torino on 14 July 1953 (see 50 anni di opera lirica alla Rai 1931-1980 p.125) and this may account for 1953 being given as the year of the recording. According to «Simionato - How Cinderella became Queen» p.296 the recording was made in 1952, but it is not mentioned in the performance chronology. The year is given as 1949 in the review in Disques.

Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the Metropolitan Opera in Boston (13 April 1957). According to the review in OPERA QUARTERLY the recording was incorrectly stated by Melodram to be that of a performance at the MET on 22 March 1957. This was not broadcast, but that on 13 April was. According to MARINELLI (p.449) the Brindisi is missing on the Melodram LPs. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape».

Comments:- The CD issued by Premiere is listed in their catalogue and attributed to Philadelphia 1972 with (Elinor) Ross and (Richard) Tucker. However, according to Frank Hamilton's «Performance Chronology» Cavalleria Rusticana was never performed in Philadelphia with Ross and Tucker (click link below). The only performance of Cavalleria Rusticana that I have been able to find in which these singers performed together is at Manhattan Central Park on 17 June 1971 and I have tentatively attributed the recording issued by Premiere to this. ####http://frankhamilton.org/ph

Comments:- The Compact Cassettes issued by Charles Handelman are listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 where the performance that was recorded is attributed to Pisa on 4 September 1990. However, according to «Opera '91 - Annuario EDT dell'opera Lirica in Italia» Cavalleria Rusticana was not performed in Pisa on that day, but it was performed in the Teatro La Gran Guardia di Livorno with the cast indicated by Handelman. I have assumes this to be the correct attribution; i.e. the recording is of the same performance as that issued on CD by foné.

Comments:- The cast, conductor, orchestra, and chorus listed above are those given on the website of LR-Music (click link below). However, the only performances with the same conductor, chorus and orchestra listed in «Opera 94 - Annuario EDT dell'Opera Lirica in Italia» are at Massa Marittima (4 August 1993, p.114), San Severo (21, 23 December 1993, p.219) and Viterbo (4 September 1993, p.304) and the casts reported here are slightly different. Thus according to this source Paola Testa sang Lucia in Massa Marittima and Viterbo and Elena Marinangeli sang it in San Severo while Antonio Stragapede sang Alfio in San Severo. It is possible that the performance on the CDs issued by New Ornamenti was at a location not listed in the Annuario. No performance of Cavalleria rusticana with Adelaide Negri is listed in the 1993 edition of the «Annuario». ####http://www.lrmusic.net/?c=segells detall&s=NEW%20ORNAMENTI&o=&i=1&PHPSESSID=243e6a396f8ea4895610053440f65b42
