Comments:- Recording of a performance at the MET (20 January 1934). Both Steiger (Opern: Ein Verzeichnis aller Aufnahmen, 2000) and Ashmam (INTERNATIONAL RECORD REVIEW February 2002 p.29) list an un-numbered UORC recording with this cast and conductor, but attribute it to a performance in San Francisco in 1932. This appears to be a mistake as according to Bloomfield «The San Francisco Opera» pp.385-387 Don Giovanni was not performed at all in San Francisco in 1932

Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the Teatro Reale dell'Opera di Roma (28 April 1941). As this recording comes from a broadcast by a German radio station it seems probable that it is of a performance given by the Rome Company when they visited Berlin. According to a letter in CLassic Record Collector (Spring 2003 p.5) the role of Pistol was sung by Giulio Neri.

Comments:- Video recording of a film directed by Carmine Gallone and an audio recording of its soundtrack. Gilda is acted by Marcella Govoni and sung by Pagliughi. According to Stefan Zucker («Opera Fanatic's Catalog» No.40 p.87) «the film was recorded on September 15, 1946». This presumably refers to the soundtrack, and the film was made (or completed) in 1947), which is the year usually given
