She was a sweet, adorable person to work with, and I am glad that a pirate recording of that performance exists.ť Plácido Domingo in ŤMy First Forty Yearsť p.25.

According to the review in OPERA June 1976 p.565 on the opening night (8 January) ŤAldo Protti was ill and Tonio was sung by Mario D'Anna with complete conviction, but the Prologue was sung by Domingo! He delivered a really memorable performance of it - in a baritonal tessitura, of course, - and immediately began singing the role of Canio without any apparent effortť

Comments:- The recording on the CDRs issued by Premiere appears to be of a performance given by the New York City Opera in Philadelphia on 14 December 1965 (click link below). There was a new production at the City Opera (borrowed from Cincinnati Summer Opera) on 14 October 1965 with repeats on 30 October and 6 November, but Plácido Domingo did not appear in any of these performances. In fact, he only sang Hoffmann once at the City Opera, on 9 November 1966, but neither Sills, nor Treigle sang on that occasion (ŤThe New York City Operať by Martin L. Sokol pp.344-353). The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are listed on their website under ŤWhat's New ? New Year 2008ť (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).

Comments:- The recording on the CDRs issued by HOO appear to be of a performance at the Chicago Lyric Opera on 17 October 1990. These are included in the list of new releases added to HOO's website in December 2003 (12-22-2003). Here the recording is assigmed to Munich and the conductor is given as ŤWakasugiť, However, on the date that they give, 17 October 1990, La Fanciulla del West was performed in Chicago with the singers they give, Zschau, Domingo, Noble, conducted by Bartoletti. According to the Tenorissimo website, which is no longer active, Plácido Domingo has never sung Dick Johnson in Munich. The cast listed above is that given in ŤBraviť by Skrebneski. The Compact Cassettes issued by Lyric are listed in ŤNew Listings - January/February 1991ť. Here the recording is attributed correctly.
