The cast members listed above are those given in «Corelli - A Man, A Voice» by Marina Boagno p.278. HOO's online catalogue lists «Valdenassi» as a cast member. This may be Cecilia Valdenassi who sings Musetta instead of Giovanna Santelli. The Compact Cassettes issued by Lyric are included in their «New Listings - November 1989». Valdenassi is also listed as a cast member here.
