Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the Teatro Reale dell'Opera di Roma (28 April 1941). As this recording comes from a broadcast by a German radio station it seems probable that it is of a performance given by the Rome Company when they visited Berlin. According to a letter in CLassic Record Collector (Spring 2003 p.5) the role of Pistol was sung by Giulio Neri.

Comments:- Video recording of a film directed by Carmine Gallone and an audio recording of its soundtrack. Gilda is acted by Marcella Govoni and sung by Pagliughi. According to Stefan Zucker («Opera Fanatic's Catalog» No.40 p.87) «the film was recorded on September 15, 1946». This presumably refers to the soundtrack, and the film was made (or completed) in 1947), which is the year usually given.

Comments:- Recording(s) of a performance (or of performances) in the Takarazuka Hall, Tokyo. According to Masatoshi Nozaki in «OPERA DISC COLLECTION» (1st edn, p.194; 2nd edn p.250) there are two recordings of performances with the same cast. According to him that on Paragon ANF 54 (CD), KING 63IL 14-5 (laser disc), KING KILM 108/9 (laser disk) and Memories HR 4406/7 (CD) is of a performance given on 4 February while that on Seven Seas K38Y30 (CD) and Frequenz 043-010 (CD) is of a performance given on 7 February. The year is given as 1959 in the 1st edition and 1958 in the 2nd edition. According to the archive of Opera Japonica (http://www.operajaponica.org/archives) Otello was only performed in Japan in 1959 (4,7,10, 13 February in Tokyo and 2 March in Osaka). It appears that the recording on Melodram, Rodolphe, Paragon, and Bel Canto Society is of the performance on 4 February 1959. The date given on the DVD issued by NHK is 4 February 1959. It appears that this is derived from a television transmission (or «simulcast») in which the video broke down at «Ora e per sempre addio..», but the sound continued and NHK have patched in a still of Mario del Monaco at this point. See OPERA-L Wed. 24 Aug 2005 00:30:33 EDT. The Melodram LPs are advertized in GRAMOPHONE January 1984 p.872. According to James Calvert (OPERA-L Thu, 24 Oct 2002 08:099:32 -400) the sound on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro is a semitone sharp. The DVDR issued on the Encore label is (was?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). Here the conductor is stated incorrectly to be Oliviero de Fabritiis.
