Comments:- *Recording of a performance in the Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires (11 August 1963). The cast listed above is that given in the Teatro-Colón website (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). In some performances the role of Ines was sung by Sofí Schulz and that of un vecchio zingaro by Pino de Vescovi. I do not know if they or the singers listed above sang in the performance recorded. The CDs issued on the Gala label include the following extracts: Act 2 scene 1 from �Stride la vampa� to the end of the scene; Act 4 scene 2 from the beginning of the scene to �Ai nostri monti�. These are a �filler� on the CDs which carry the recording of Falstaff conducted by Gui. There is a review on the internet:

Comments:- *This appears to be a recording of the performance on 11 April 1973 as this was the only performance of �Il trovatore� at the MET in 1973 in which the four principle singers listed by Celestial appeared together. The cast listed above is that given in the online data base of The Metropolitan Opera. This performance was not broadcast so, presumably, the recording was made �in-house�. The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are (were?) listed on their website as �WHAT'S NEW; Second Quarter 2007� (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).

The CDRs issued by House of Opera are listed as new issues in their online catalogue dated �03/12/22�. Pavarotti is listed here as a member of the cast, but he did not sing in any of the performances of Il trovatore at Covent Garden in December 1981. The CDRs issued by Premiere Opera (Italy) are (were?) listed on the website http://stores.ebay.com/premiereopera (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). Here the recording is incorrectly attributed to Chicago. Il trovatore was not performed at the Chicago Lyric Opera in 1981.

Comments:- *Recording of a performance in the London Coliseum. The date given in Charles Handelman's Catalog (November 2002 p.71) is 4 May 1983, but on that day the work performed by the ENO was Die Fledermaus. Il trovatore was performed with the cast given above on 16, 19, 22, 26 February and 1, 4, 9 March 1983. So, presumably, the recording is of one of these performances and as, as far as I can ascertain, none of these was broadcast it is probably an �in-house� recording. The performance on 16 February is reviewed in OPERA April 1983 pp.442-443.
