Comments:- Recording of a performance at a Covent Garden «Prom» (12 April 1973; see OPERA June 1973 pp.554-555). It appears that this performance was not broadcast, so this recording was probably made «in-house».

Comments:- The LPs issued on the HRE label are advertized in GRAMOPHONE April 1984 p.1239 and listed in ARS ANTIQUA'S list No.240, August 2001 p.35 (no.2442), while the CDRs issued by House of Opera are included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 «03/12/22». The recording is presumably of a performance at Covent Garden in May 1974 (HOO gives 17 May) where 7 performances were given with the above cast except that Rodrigo was sung by Adrian De Peyer in only six of them (see OPERA October 1974 p.913). I do not know if he sang in the performance(s) in these recordings. Verdi's Disco gives Leslie Fyson (normally a baritone or bass) as singing this role (http://verdisdisco.de - hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). As far as I can ascertain none of the performances was broadcast, so the recording would presumably have been made «in house». The performance on 1 May 1974 is reviewed in OPERA July 1974 pp.639-640
