Comments:- The CDR issued by Premiere is listed in their printed catalogue as being �New� in �Fall 2001� and is attributed to Philadelphia (2 March 1972). The partial cast is given as �Tucker/Kabaiwanska/MacNeil/Cossa� but according to Frank Hamilton's Chronolgy of Opera Performances in Philadelphia (hyperlink in CLORLINK.php) Pagliacci was never performed in Philadelphia with this cast. The only performance that I have been able to find with the four singers mentioned was at the MET on 24 June 1970 and I have provisionally assumed that it is this performance that was recorded. As it was not broadcast the recording must have been made �in-house�.

Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the Metropolitan Opera in Boston (13 April 1957). According to the review in OPERA QUARTERLY the recording was incorrectly stated by Melodram to be that of a performance at the MET on 22 March 1957. This was not broadcast, but that on 13 April was. According to MARINELLI (p.449) the Brindisi is missing on the Melodram LPs.

Comments:- The CD issued by Premiere is listed in their catalogue and attributed to Philadelphia 1972 with (Elinor) Ross and (Richard) Tucker. However, according to Frank Hamilton's �Performance Chronology� Cavalleria Rusticana was never performed in Philadelphia with Ross and Tucker (click link below). The only performance of Cavalleria Rusticana that I have been able to find in which these singers performed together is at Manhattan Central Park on 17 June 1971 and I have tentatively attributed the recording issued by Premiere to this.

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�.

Comments:- It seems likely that this is a recording of part of a performance at the MET on 28 November or 8 December 1970 as these appear to be the only two occasions when these singers sang together at the MET. The role of Amonasro was sung by Cornell MacNeil and Mario Sereni on these dates. The date of February 1970 given by Hunt (A Notable Quartet p.94) appears to be incorrect as according to the �Annals of the Metropolitan Opera� Aida was not performed in that month. The CDs issued by Melodram are listed in Bongiovanni's catalogue (December 1994) p.12. Gala has also issued excerpts with these singers on their CDs entitled �Christa Ludwig - Rarities� (GL 100.596) and assigned them incorrecty to a performance at the MET on 28 February 1970. This mistake probably arose from the eleven being read as a Roman �II� by someone

Comments:- This recording was attributed by Legato to being of a performance given by the Miami Opera, but according to the chronology in �Tebaldi - The Voice of an Angel� p.251, the partial cast listed by Legato was the same as that of a concert performance of Simon Boccanegra given in the Cleveland Public Auditorium on 13 December 1969. That this is the correct attribution is confirmed by a post by Calvin M. Goodwin on Opera-L:-
