A recording of a performance of Tosca in 1973 on cassette is listed in Lyric Distribution's catalogue (ALD 1051) with Galvany, Carreras, and Shinall conducted by Keene, but this attribution appears to be incorrect as according to the Annals of the New York City Opera the only occasion on which these singers sang in the same performance of Tosca was on 26 february 1974 and then the conductor was Morelli.
