This recording is reviewed in the following publications:-

Orpheus - Dezember 1994 S.60

American Record Guide - September/October 1994 Vol.57 No.5 p.268

Comments:- *EJS, Grand Tier and Lyric all give the year of this recording as 1947, but as clearly shown by Shaman, Collins, and Goodwin (EJS Discography pp.315-317) this cannot be correct as Tagliavini only sang in Mexico City in 1946. Also the aria ŤCruda... funesta smaniať sung by Petroff comes from another source on the EJS disc, which also contains some excerpts from a performance at the MET. The opera was broadcast in Mexico City on 13 and 24 August 1946. It is not certain which was used for these excerpts. José Arraita (as listed) sang Arturo on 12 August and Joaquin Alvarez on 24 August. The conductor was Pietro Cimara not Renato Cellini as sometimes stated (see ŤMore EJSť p.598). The compact cassettes issued by Lyric are listed in their list of ŤPre-Recorded Operatic Cassettes - New Listings - September 1989ť. The date of the performance recorded is given on the case of the compact cassette as Ť6/22/47ť and the conductor is given as Cellini. Cellini is also listed as the conductor in ŤFeruccio Tagliavini - L'uomo, La voceť by Umberto Bonafini p.101.

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.
