Comments:- *Recording of a performance at Torre del Lago (1 August 1997; see OPERA Festival Issue 1997 pp.117-118). The recording on the House of Opera CD-ROM seems to have been made by a member of the audience. The sound-quality of Acts 1 and 2 is quite good, but that of Act 3 is poor. The cassettes issued by Charles Handelman are listed in his catalogue dated November 2000, where the date of the performance is given as 3 August 1997. This suggests that the recording is dfferent from that on House of Opera's CD-Rom

Comments:- *According to the review in ORPHEUS the recording on the CD issued by Legato (Premiere?) is of a performance at the MET, but according to the �MET Annals� (CD-ROM edition) Mitropoulos never conducted Tosca with Kirsten and Barioni in the same performance there. Rather, it appears to be a re-issue of the studio recording made for the �Metropolitan Opera Record Club�. According to �The Complete Discography of Dimitri Mitropoulos� by S.A. Arfanis p.111 this was made in March 1957.

Opéra International - No.178 mars 1994 pp.79-80 [SS]

Comments:- *This recording was attributed by Melodram to San Francisco, but there is no record of a performance of Tosca with this cast in �The San Francisco Opera� by Arthur Bloomfield. However two performances were given with this cast at the MET (22, 26 March 1969), neither of which was broadcast. So this is presumably an �in house� recording as indicated by SS in his review in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (vide supra). The CDRS issued by Premiere are included in their �2005 FALL NEW RELEASES�. Here the date of the performance recorded is given as �11/26/69�.

However, according to the performance chronology in �Tebaldi - The Voice of an Angel� the only time that Tebaldi, Konya, MacNeil, and Corena sang in Tosca together under Molinari-Pradelli was at the MET between December 31 1969 and January 10 1970 (loc.cit. p.251). The performance on January 10 1970 was broadcast and the recording is presumably of this performance. The CDRs issued by �The Opera Lovers� are listed on the website http://www.operalovers.ca.

Comments:- *Recording of a performance at the New York City Opera (26 February 1974). A recording of a performance of Tosca in 1973 on cassette is listed in Lyric Distribution's catalogue (ALD 1051) with Galvany, Carreras, and Shinall conducted by Keene, but this attribution appears to be incorrect as according to the Annals of the New York City Opera the only occasion on which these singers sang in the same performance of Tosca was on 26 february 1974 and then the conductor was Morelli.
