Comments:- Recording of a performance given by the La Fenice Opera at Frankfurt (2 October 1971). The date given in �Verdi dal Vivo� (p.61) is 2 November 1971, but no performance of �Il corsaro� is reported on that date in �Il Teatro La Fenice - cronologia degli spettacoli 1938-1991�. Instead a performance in �Germania� is reported on 2 October 1971 without details of the cast or conductor. According to the review in ORPHEUS of the CDs issued by Gala the orchestra and chorus are those of the Frankfurt Opera and the opera was given in a concert performnce.

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.
