Comments:- *Audio and video recordings of performances in the Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo. According to the archive section of the operajaponic website there were 3 performances in Tokyo (28 September, 1, 5 October 1961) and one in Osaka (28 October 1961) and the role of Gerard was shared by Giangiacomo Guelfi and Aldo Protti. According to �Aldo Protti - Un Baritono fatto così� p.143 Protti sang in the performances on October 1 and 28, so presumably Guelfi sang in the other two. Consistent with this the recording on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro (according to their online catalogue) is of a performance on 1 October 1961 and the role of Gerard is sung by Protti. On the other hand, according to Masatoshi Nozaki (Opera Disc Collection 2nd edition p.397) in the performance on the laser disc issued by King Video and the CD issued by Legato Gerard is sung by Guelfi. According to the review of the LPs issued by Melodram in FANFARE the recording on these discs comes from two performances and Guelfi sings in Acts 1-3 and Protti in Act 4. The DVDR issued on the Encore label is (was?) listed on the website of �berkshire record outlet inc.� (hyperlink in .phpLINK.HTM). Here Aldo Protti is listed as a performer. The recordings issued by VAI are of the performance on 1 October 1961. The CDs issued by �Opera Depot� are listed on their website:

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.
