Comments:- Recording of a performance at La Scala (15 April 1975). The date given in Opera d'Oro's online catalogue (15 May 1975) appears to be incorrect. The performance on 26 April 1975 (with Ugo Benelli instead of Luigi Alva) is reviewed in OPERA September 1975 p.876. According to the review in FANFARE the sound on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro is very poor. I do not know if the sound of the CDs issued in their «Grand Tier» series or on those issued by Myto is better.
