Comments:- *The Compact Cassettes issued by Charles Handelman are listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 where the performance that was recorded is attributed to Pisa on 4 September 1990. However, according to «Opera '91 - Annuario EDT dell'opera Lirica in Italia» Cavalleria Rusticana was not performed in Pisa on that day, but it was performed in the Teatro La Gran Guardia di Livorno with the cast indicated by Handelman. I have assumes this to be the correct attribution; i.e. the recording is of the same performance as that issued on CD by foné.
