Comments:- *Gala provide very little information about this recording except to say that it was «recorded in the same pre-war period» as the recording of La forza del destino conducted by Marinuzzi. Neverthless, it is stated to be performed by the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, not the Teatro Reale. The quality of the sound is quite good. According to Norbeck and Peters, & Ford's online catalogue the recording is of a performance conducted by Bruno Walter on 15 January 1944. However, this appears also to be incorrect and as pointed out in CLASSIC RECORD COLLECTOR Spring 2008 p.10 it is the recording of a performance at the MET in 1947 conducted by Giuseppe Antonicelli. A recording of this performance has been issued by Walhall and is listed separately.
