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

However, on this day Rosalind Plowright sang Desdemona (see OPERA June 1987 pp.694-696). Julia Varady sang Desdemona on 24, 28 April and 2, 7 May 1987. The performance on 24 April 1987 is reviewed in OPERA June 1987 pp.699-700. None of these recordings was broadcast so the recording was probably made �in-house�.
