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).
