Comments:- The CDs issued by Bella Voce are claimed to be of a recording of the performance at the MET on 6 January 1969. If this is correct the recording must be an «in-house» one as this performance was not broadcast. However, according to Calvin M. Goodwin (OPERA-L-Thu 22 Aug 2002 09:13:07 EDT) the recording is not of a performance at the MET at all, but «appears to be a San Francisco broadcast from 1974 (18 October) with Renata Scotto, José Carreras, Judith Forst and Julian Patrick». Recordings of this performance are listed separately. The highlights included as a «fller» with the recording of La fanciulla del west» issued by Bella Voce are however, according to Goodwin, from the performance at the MET (OPERA-L-Wed 18 Sep 2002 21:11:54 EDT)

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

Comments:- *The «On Stage» CDs are labeled as being a recording of a performance in Philadelphia in 1966. However, according to the performance chronology in «Tebaldi - The Voice of an Angel» the only time that Tebaldi, Konya, MacNeil, and Corena sang in Tosca together under Molinari-Pradelli was at the MET between December 31 1969 and January 10 1970 (loc.cit. p.251). The performance on January 10 1970 was broadcast and the recording is presumably of this performance. The CDRs issued by «The Opera Lovers» are listed on the website http://www.operalovers.ca. Here the performance recorded is attributed to the MET on 10 January 1970.

Comments:- *Recording of a performance at the MET. There were performance with the cast listed above on 12 and 15 April 1968 and on 20 April the cast was the same except that Ulrica was sung by Jean Madiera. The excerpts issued by Gala are a «filler» on the CDs of the recording of Der fliegende Holländer. Presumably the recording was made at one of the dates just mentioned, but I do not know which. As none of these performances was broadcast the recording must have been made «in-house».
