Comments:- According to the review in FANFARE this is a recording of a performance in La Fenice on 20 March 1971. However, according to �Il Teatro La Fenice - cronologia degli spettacoli 1938-1991� (pp.259-260), Il corsaro was not performed at La Fenice on 20 March 1971. It was performed on 2, 4, 7 March with Bruson, but Ricciarelli did not perform in any of the these performances in which Vasso Papantoniou sang the role of Medora, and Carlo Franci conducted all of them. A recording dated 3 March 1971 with Papantoniou conducted by Franci has been issued by Mondo Musica and is listed separately. Also, there is a recording with Ricciarelli made when the La Fenice company were performing in Frankfurt, and issued on LP by Robin Hood Records and MRF and on CD by Gala which is also listed separately. It is possible (probable?) that the recording issued on the Giuseppe di Stefano CDs is the same as this.

Comments:- The �foyer� CDs are a recording of a performance at La Scala (16 March 1972; see OPERA, June 1972 p.549 ), but according to Sergio Segalini (OPÉRA INTERNATONAL novembre 1997 No.218 p.24) the Legato CDs (labeled as being conducted by Gavazzeni, although the year is given as 1973) are in fact a recording of a performance in Genoa (1975). Details of this are listed separately. It is possible (probable?) that the recording on the LPs from HRE is also of the performance in Genoa in view of the fact that Legato Classics were the successor to HRE

Comments:- Audio and video recordings of a performance (or of performances) at the Orange Festival (13 July 1984). Ornamenti gives the year of the performance as 1979, but the only performance of Don Carlo that I have been able to find with this cast, conducted by Thomas Fulton is that at Orange in 1984. See OPERA Festival Issue 1984 pp.65-66; OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (OI) No.73 septembre 1984 p.38; L'AVANT SCÈNE OPÉRA No.111 �Chorégies de Orange 1869-1988� p.93. The conductor was originally announced to be James Conlon (see advert inside back cover of OI No.71 juin 1984) but was replaced by Thomas Fulton at short notice. The DVD issued by Premiere is included in their list of �NEW RELEASES Spring 2006�.
