Comments:- *The HRE LPs are listed in �Renata Scotto - More then a Diva� by Renata Scotto and Octavio Roca p.189 where the conductor is given as Molinari Pradelli, the year as 1968, and the theater as �Metropolitan Opera ?�. It is likely that this information was taken from the information provided by HRE. According to the Annals of the MET Scotto and Bergonzi only sang there together in this opera four times, all in 1972. The performance on 19 February 1972 was broadcast and it seems likely that the HRE recording is of this performance, Alternatively it could be of a performance in another theatre. The CDRs issued on the Bensar label are (were?) listed on the website of �berkshire record outlet inc.� and those issued by Omega on their website (hyperlinks in CLORLINK.php). Both these sources give the year of the performance recorded as 1972.

Comments:- *The recording issued by �Living Stage� and by �The Opera Lovers� appears to be of a performance in the Teatro Margherita, Genova (March 1972). See OPERA August 1972 pp.744-745. It is attributed by both to Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, but this cannot be correct as Andrea Chénier was not performed at La Fenice in 1972. See �Il Teatro La Fenice - Cronologia degli Spettacoli 1938-1991�. Some of the information about the cast as listed above comes from the review in OPERA and may be incorrect as the performance reviewed may not be the performance recorded. The CDRs issued by Premiere are listed in �New Releases on CD, Fall 2005� Dated Nov.16 2005. Here the recording is attributed correctly.

Comments:- *Recording of part of a performance at the MET (12 or 15 December 1979; see OPERA April 1980 pp.356-357). Calvin M. Goodwin has kindly provided me with the following information. When the Gala CD was first issued, although labeled as being from the performance at the MET on 12 December 1979, it was in fact from a performance in 1976 with Martina Arroyo and Misha Raitzin. Subsequently, Gala reissued the CD with a recording of excerpts from a performance in 1979. According to the label on the Gala CD, Barnaba was sung by Louis Quilico, but, according to the MET Annals, Quilico did not sing in any performance of �La Gioconda� with Grace Bumbry that season. The two Barnabas that she sang with were Mario Sereni and Ferdinand Radovan. As the singer is clearly not Sereni it must be Radovan who is in fact listed in the booklet which accompanies the Gala CD!. Radovan sang in two performances (12,15 December 1979) and it is not clear from which the recording (made �in house�) issued by Gala comes. The cast given above is that for that on 12 December (date claimed by Gala). There was only one change in the cast for 15 December, Isepo was sung by Andrea Velis. Not all the singers listed above appear on the Gala CD.

Comments:- *Aida was performed at Verona with this cast on 1, 6, 10, 14 August 1961. See OPERA November 1961 p.714. A video recording is listed in Live Opera Heaven's �October 2002 Update� (C 1199) with this cast and the date given as 1 August 1961, but with the conductor stated to be Gavazenni. This seem to be incorrect as the conductor on that date was Molinari-Pradelli. Gavazenni did conduct Aida at Verona on 22 and 29 July 1961, but the Aida in those performances was Gabriella Tucci (see the cast listings in the Verona programmes).

Comments:- *Audio and video recordings of a performance (or of performances) in the Arena of Verona (3 August 1966). According to OPERA (Festival Issue 1966 pp.105-106) Gencer took over the role of Aida from the indisposed Eleanora Ross. It is stated incorrectly on the H.R.E recording that the conductor is Zubin Mehta. The date given on the Hardy video is 9 August 1966 (or 16 July 1966).
