Comments:- Recording of a performance at Teatro Colón. Caballé quarreled with the conductor and was nearly dismissed, but this was prevented by the intervention of Nilsson (See �Casta Diva� p.112). The conductor is given as Molinari-Pradelli on Mike Richter's website (http://www.mrichter.com), but this appears to be incorrect as according to the website of Teatro Colón (http://www.operas-colon.com.ar) all the performances of Turandot in 1965 there were conducted by Previtali. There is a review on the internet of the CDs issued on the label �Memoria Sonora del Teatro Colón�

Recordings of Il trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi are surveyed in the following publications:-

High Fidelity January 1960 Vol.10 No.1 p.49, October 1963 Vol.13 No.10 p.42; HARRIS p.296; Opera on Record p.225; CELLETTI p.1050; MARINELLI p.162; Opera on CD (1) p.50 (2) p.56 (3) p.62; L'Avant Scène Opéra No.60 p.100, Mise à jour Octobre 2003; MET p.596; MET(VID) p.371; PENGUIN p.507; GIUDICI p.920 (2) p.1487; Opéra International No.252 décembre 2000 p.16; Orpheus Juni 2001 S.53; CD Compact No.161 enero 2003 p.20

Comments:- This appears to be a recording of the performance on 11 April 1973 as this was the only performance of �Il trovatore� at the MET in 1973 in which the four principle singers listed by Celestial appeared together. The cast listed above is that given in the online data base of The Metropolitan Opera. This performance was not broadcast so, presumably, the recording was made �in-house�. The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are (were?) listed on their website as �WHAT'S NEW; Second Quarter 2007� (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).

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.
