Comments:- Recording of a performance at Teatro di San Carlo, Naples (17 January 1953). According to the review in ORPHEUS «Kaum seinen Ohren glaubt, wenn man voller Grausen hört, wie es auf den beiden CDs auf den Neapel von 1953 eiert und scheppert, wenn BENIAMINO GIGLI einen seiner letzten Nemorinos in Donizetti's ELISIR D'AMORE singt. Gerade Bongiovanni hätte man es nicht zugetraut, eine mit solch gravierenden technischen Mängeln behaftete CD auf den Markt zu werfen.» The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is attributed by the to RAI and the the quality is not indicated in their online catalogue.

The partial cast listed by Handelman in his calalog dated November 2000 is Frazzoni, Corelli, and Bastianini and the date is given as 20 January 1960. However, according to the archive that used to be on the La Scala website (http://www.lascala.com) Tebaldi, not Frazzoni sang on this date. Frazzoni sang in the performances on 24, 28, and 31 January, but in these performanes Gérard was sung by Ugo Savarese, not Ettore Bastianini. The cast listed above is that for 24, 31 January. On the 28 January Roucher was sung by Silvio Maionica and Fouquier Tinville by Vittorio Tatozzi.
