Comments:- *Calvin M. Goodwin has kindly provided me with the following information about the CD issued by Gala. When GLH 821 was first issued it contained excerpts from a performance with Martina Arroyo and Misha Raitzin although it was labeled as being a recording with Grace Bumbry and Carlo Bergonzi. When it was reissued it did contain a recording with these singers (this is listed separately). According to the MET Annals the only performance of �La Gioconda� in which Arroyo and Raitzin sang together was that on 10 April 1976 which was broadcast. The cast listed above is that for this performance, but not all the singers listed appear in the excerpts on the Gala CD. The Opera Lovers have now released a recording of the complete performance.

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.
