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.
