Comments:- The HRE LPs are listed in �Renata Scotto - More then a Diva� by Renata Scotto and Octavio Roca p.189 where the conductor is given as Molinari Pradelli, the year as 1968, and the theater as �Metropolitan Opera ?�. It is likely that this information was taken from the information provided by HRE. According to the Annals of the MET Scotto and Bergonzi only sang there together in this opera four times, all in 1972. The performance on 19 February 1972 was broadcast and it seems likely that the HRE recording is of this performance, Alternatively it could be of a performance in another theatre. The CDRs issued on the Bensar label are (were?) listed on the website of �berkshire record outlet inc.� and those issued by Omega on their website (hyperlinks in CLORLINK.HTM). Both these sources give the year of the performance recorded as 1972.

This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-

Ópera Actual (Barcelona) - No.74 octubre 2004 p.83 [JV]

------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments:- The recording issued on the �Living Stage� label appears to be a recording of a performance at the MET in October or November 1972. The partial cast listed by �Living Stage� is Renata Scotto (Amina), Nicolai Gedda (Elvino), Bonaldo Giaiotti (Rodolfo), Colette Boky (Lisa), Giorgio Tozzi (Alessio) and the date is given 17 October 1972 (the first performance of the run). According to the MET online data base Colette Boky did not sing in any of the performances (in October or November 1972) and Giorgio Tozzi did not sing Alessio but did sing Rodolfo in some performances. Scotto and Gedda sang in the performances on 17, 24, 28 October and 15, 25 November. Tozzi sang Rodolfo on 17 October and 15 November, Giaiotti sang it on 24, 28 October and John Macurdy (not mentioned by Living Stage) sang it on 25 November. The rest of the cast was as given above except that on 15 November Lisa was sung by Betsy Norden and the Notary by Paul Franke. Amazon suggests that the recording was of the performance on 24 or 28 October presumably on the basis that Giaiotti is given a more prominent billing than Tozzi. Possibly the recording is a composite one made at more than one performance. None of the performances was broadcast. IF ANYONE HAS THIS RECORDING PLEASE SEND ME YOUR OPINION.
