Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Teatro alla Scala.

The partial cast list is given by Handelman as Gencer, Guglielmi. Lazzarini, Merighi, Cappuccilli with the conductor as Verchi. According to the La Scala website there was no performances with all these singers and Verchi as conductor. However, all except Margherita Guglielmi, who had sung Oscar in some earlier performances, sang under Verchi on 8, 10 April 1973. The cast given above is that on 8 April. That on 10 April was the same except that Oscar was sung by Elvina Ramella. The recording issued on the Myto label is that of the performance on 8 April 1973.

Comments:- The LPs issued on the HRE label are advertized in GRAMOPHONE April 1984 p.1239 and listed in ARS ANTIQUA'S list No.240, August 2001 p.35 (no.2442), while the CDRs issued by House of Opera are included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 �03/12/22�. The recording is presumably of a performance at Covent Garden in May 1974 (HOO gives 17 May) where 7 performances were given with the above cast except that Rodrigo was sung by Adrian De Peyer in only six of them (see OPERA October 1974 p.913). I do not know if he sang in the performance(s) in these recordings. Verdi's Disco gives Leslie Fyson (normally a baritone or bass) as singing this role (http://verdisdisco.de - hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). As far as I can ascertain none of the performances was broadcast, so the recording would presumably have been made �in house�. The performance on 1 May 1974 is reviewed in OPERA July 1974 pp.639-640

However, although the same cast performed in 1991, the conductor was Daniel Oren 1991 and Anton Guadagno in 1992.
