Comments:- This recording was attributed by Melodram to San Francisco, but there is no record of a performance of Tosca with this cast in «The San Francisco Opera» by Arthur Bloomfield. However two performances were given with this cast at the MET (22, 26 March 1969), neither of which was broadcast. So this is presumably an «in house» recording as indicated by SS in his review in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL (vide supra). The CDRS issued by Premiere are included in their «2005 FALL NEW RELEASES». Here the date of the performance recorded is given as «11/26/69».

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the MET (2 January 1971). The performance on 16 December 1970 is reviewed in OPERA February 1971 p.120. According to Alan Blyth the Melodram CD was «quickly withdrawn from circulation as an allegedly unauthorised issue» (ICRC Winter Edition 1997 No.11 p.13}. The Melodram CDs are described on their label as being a recording of a performance at the San Francisco Opera on 29 November 1968. However, according to to «The San Francisco Opera 1922-1978» by Arthur Bloomfield Fidelio was not performed at the San Francisco Opera in 1968 and the opera performed on 29 November 1968 was Madama Butterfly (loc.cit. p.474). See also IOC Winter 1998 No.10 p.7 (letter). According to another letter the role of the second prisoner was sung by Clifford Harvout (IOC Autumn 1999 No.13 p.8; see also the MET Annals). The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape».
