Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Palacio de la Bellas Artes, Mexico City (12 July 1949). According to the «EJS Discography» (p.282) and to the Discography ofDi Stefano's recordings (The Record Collector Vol.39 No.3 p.278) the conductor was Renato Cellini. The «EJS Discography» also gives the year as 1950, but 1949 is also mentioned. The performance chronology and discography in «Simionato» by Jean-Jacques Hanine Roussel (p.261, p.301) gives the conductor as Picco and the year as 1949, and does not mention a performance of «La favorita» in Mexico Cityin 1950. An advertisment in GRAMOPHONE (December 1977 p.1082) gives the year as 1950 and the conductor as Cellini. The balance of evidence seems to be in favour of Cellini as the conductor and 1949 as the year. Hovever Bob Rose writing in Fanfare (Nay/Jume 2000 p,153) concluded that the conductor was most probably Picco

Presumably this date is of the first of the «run» of performances. Possibly the recording is of the dress rehearsal. What appear to be highlights of this performance appear as a «filler» on Melodram MEL 27036 (Il Duca di Alba)but the date given is 1 November 1963 (See FANFARE Vol.12 No.4 March/April 1989 pp.147-148).

Comments:- The year of this recording is sometimes given as 1953, but this is almost certainly incorrect as the LPs issued by Cetra-Soria appeared for the first time in «Schwann» dated May 1952 and were reviewed in ARG June 1952. What appears to be this recording was broadcast by RAI Torino on 14 July 1953 (see 50 anni di opera lirica alla Rai 1931-1980 p.125) and this may account for 1953 being given as the year of the recording. According to «Simionato - How Cinderella became Queen» p.296 the recording was made in 1952, but it is not mentioned in the performance chronology. The year is given as 1949 in the review in Disques.
