Product Description
CD81248 Fanciulla - Tebaldi - 1961
Renata Tebaldi's RAI recording of Fanciulla del West, done in Rome, is from July
8, 1961, and not May 28, 1961.
Tebaldi was in Germany in May 1961 doing concerts (check the chronology in
Tebaldi's biography for details).
Tebaldi's second recording was made by Decca in Rome in 1958.
Over the years, I have found only 6 Tebaldi Minnie's: four from the Met, all
from 1970 and all with Konya (March 14, 1970 was a Met broadcast, the others
were pirates), and these two recordings.
I would be interested in knowing if any others exist.
The 1961 recording is complete and nothing is missing from Act 2 on my copy.
Best wishes,
John
