This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-

Ópera Actual (Barcelona) - No.85 noviembre 2005 p.87 [JMP]

------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments:- The Period LPs are listed in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (No.254 p.21), L'Avant Scène Opéra (No.112/113 p.157) and the Mellen Index (Vol.XI p.556) with what appears to be a fictitious cast, with the Patagonian Festival Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Ralph de Cross. It is indicated in L'Avant Scène Opéra (loc.cit.) that the Rigoletto is Protti and the Gilda is Zeani. The only performance that I have been able to find in which these singers sang together in these roles is in a RAI television performance transmitted on 26 February 1955. I have therefore assumed that the recording on the Period LPs is of the soundtrack of this. The cast listed above is that given in «50 anni di opera lirica alla RAI1931-1980» p.132. The CDs issued by Bongiovanni also carry, as a «filler», short excerpts from a performance of Rigoletto with Protti, D'Angelo, Filippeschi (Caracas 1956?). The CDRs issued by «The Opera Lovers» are listed on the website http://www.operalovers.ca. Here the performance is also attributed to RAI. The DVD issued by Premiere is included in their list of «NEW RELEASES Spring 2006».

Comments:- Aida was performed at Verona with this cast on 1, 6, 10, 14 August 1961. See OPERA November 1961 p.714. A video recording is listed in Live Opera Heaven's «October 2002 Update» (C 1199) with this cast and the date given as 1 August 1961, but with the conductor stated to be Gavazenni. This seem to be incorrect as the conductor on that date was Molinari-Pradelli. Gavazenni did conduct Aida at Verona on 22 and 29 July 1961, but the Aida in those performances was Gabriella Tucci (see the cast listings in the Verona programmes).

Comments:- Audio and video recordings of performances in the Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo. According to the archive section of the operajaponic website there were 3 performances in Tokyo (28 September, 1, 5 October 1961) and one in Osaka (28 October 1961) and the role of Gerard was shared by Giangiacomo Guelfi and Aldo Protti. According to «Aldo Protti - Un Baritono fatto così» p.143 Protti sang in the performances on October 1 and 28, so presumably Guelfi sang in the other two. Consistent with this the recording on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro (according to their online catalogue) is of a performance on 1 October 1961 and the role of Gerard is sung by Protti. On the other hand, according to Masatoshi Nozaki (Opera Disc Collection 2nd edition p.397) in the performance on the laser disc issued by King Video and the CD issued by Legato Gerard is sung by Guelfi. According to the review of the LPs issued by Melodram in FANFARE the recording on these discs comes from two performances and Guelfi sings in Acts 1-3 and Protti in Act 4. The DVDR issued on the Encore label is (was?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). Here Aldo Protti is listed as a performer. The recordings issued by VAI are of the performance on 1 October 1961.

Comments:- Recording of part of a performance at the Théâtre de La Monnaie (See OPERA February 1973 p.158; «Mario Del Monaco - Monumentum aere Perennius» p.864). The excerpts on the Legato CDs are a «filler» on the CDs of the recording of Stiffelio. The CDR issued by House of Opera is included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 «03/12/22». Here the performance is attributed (incorrectly?) to Antwerp.

Comments:- The recording issued by «Living Stage» and by «The Opera Lovers» appears to be of a performance in the Teatro Margherita, Genova (March 1972). See OPERA August 1972 pp.744-745. It is attributed by both to Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, but this cannot be correct as Andrea Chénier was not performed at La Fenice in 1972. See «Il Teatro La Fenice - Cronologia degli Spettacoli 1938-1991». Some of the information about the cast as listed above comes from the review in OPERA and may be incorrect as the performance reviewed may not be the performance recorded. The CDRs issued by Premiere are listed in «New Releases on CD, Fall 2005» Dated Nov.16 2005. Here the recording is attributed correctly.

According to the review in OPERA June 1976 p.565 on the opening night (8 January) «Aldo Protti was ill and Tonio was sung by Mario D'Anna with complete conviction, but the Prologue was sung by Domingo! He delivered a really memorable performance of it - in a baritonal tessitura, of course, - and immediately began singing the role of Canio without any apparent effort»
