Comments:- A recording of a performance in New Orleans. The overture is played between Acts 1 and 2; the first scene (at Hornachuelos) of the latter is omitted. However, Scene 6 of Act 3 with the «Sleale» duet is included and this is followed by «Al suon del tamburro» from Act 2 Scene 1. This recording is sometimes stated as being of a performance given by the MET on tour in New Orleans, but this appears to be incorrect as it is not listed in the MET Annals, although both Milanov and Del Monaco were singing in La forza del destino at the MET about this time. Also, neither William Herbert nor Norman Treigle is listed in the Annals as being on the MET roster in the 1952-53 and 1953-54 seasons. According to «Mario Del Monaco - Monumentum aere perennius» p.829 Del Monaco sang in La forza del destino in New Orleans on 12 and 14 March 1953. The CDRs issued on the Encore label are (were?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).
