Comments:- The CD issued by Premiere is listed in their catalogue and attributed to Philadelphia 1972 with (Elinor) Ross and (Richard) Tucker. However, according to Frank Hamilton's «Performance Chronology» Cavalleria Rusticana was never performed in Philadelphia with Ross and Tucker (click link below). The only performance of Cavalleria Rusticana that I have been able to find in which these singers performed together is at Manhattan Central Park on 17 June 1971 and I have tentatively attributed the recording issued by Premiere to this.
