jaimeeduardo 31st Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Teresa Berganza - Teresa Berganza Sings Mozart (1968)	Disc title from container. Recordings are ℗1963. Interesting that Berganza indicates no vocal range following her name, the norm for singers of classical music. Here she sings works for soprano and mezzo-soprano; to me, the sound is that of a mezzo.
jaimeeduardo 31st Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Teresa Berganza - Teresa Berganza Sings Arias Of The 18th Century (1969)	Disc title from container. Recordings are ℗1960. Issued also in mono: ADD 193.

Library of Congress Control No.: r 62000995
jaimeeduardo 30th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Kirsten Flagstad - Kirsten Flagstad Sings Wagner (1956)	Title on container: Wagner Recital. The liner notes describe 1951 as "recent" and Flagstad (1895-1962) as a living singer. London version of this disc published 1956; this appears to be a later pressing.

Song titles in English, some including the author of the text not indicated on label, appear on insert: A1 The Nut Tree (Mosen) A2 Stillness (Eichendorff) A3 Snowdrops (Rückert) A4 The Lotus Blossom (Heine) A5 Intermezzo (Eichendorff) A6 Messages (L'Egru) A7 Serenade (Kugler) A8 Secret (Candidus) A9 On the Ship (Reinhold) A10 Parting (Swabian Folk Song) A11 Unsuccessful Serenade (Folk Song, Lower Rhine) A12 Lullaby B1 The Maiden Speaks (Gruppe) B2 Maiden's Song (Kapper) B3 Maiden's Song I (Heyse) B4 Maiden's Song II (Heyse) B5 Beating Hearts B6 Lullaby B7 Stormy Weather B8 Cupid B9 To the Night B10 I Heard Your Song NOTE: tracks on label for B5 Schlagende Herzen incorrect with Brentano as poet, corrected to Bierbaum; and B6 Wiegenlied incorrect with Bierbaum as poet, corrected to Dehmel.

jaimeeduardo 29th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Maria Callas - Maria Callas Canta Verdi (1982)	Additional performer credits: Tracks A1-A2: Orchestra Sinfonica di Torino della Radiotelevisione Italiana; direttore: Oliviero De Fabritiis -- Tracks A3-A4: Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano; direttore: Antonino Votto; con Ebe Ticozzi, Mariano Caruso -- Tracks B1-B2: Orchestra del Teatro Nacional de São Carlos di Lisbona; direttore: Franco Ghione; con Alfredo Kraus -- Tracks B3-B4: Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano; direttore: Gianandrea Gavazzeni.

jaimeeduardo 29th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Mario Del Monaco, Magda Olivero - Francesca Da Rimini–Excerpts (1970)	Title on container: 3 Great Scenes. Soprano Magda Olivero's appearance on this disc was a surprise. She was a singer from decades earlier. The liner notes mention these two singers appearing in a 1959 revival of the opera at La Scala. They are the handsome couple in costume on the back cover. Performer credits are taken from the container. Somewhat odd is the listing of the name of tenor Mario Del Monaco first, since the title character is the soprano. As is the case for some of the operas on LP, the disc labels show cast in order of appearance. This results in minor characters being listed first, etc. Container suggests pub. date of 1969; Library of Congress gives 1970. Library of Congress Control No.: 70762309

jaimeeduardo 29th Jan 2014		Vinyl Album Anna Moffo - One Night Of Love (1965)	Metropolitan Opera soprano Anna Moffo made this and other well received recordings of operetta, musical, and film music.

Qual occhio al mondo C Side: Maria Callas Vissi d'arte D Side: Carlo Bergonzi E lucevan le stelle Maria Callas, Carlo Bergonzi O dolci mani Cover photo of Maria Callas as Tosca; back cover photo of Tito Gobbi as Scarpia. This recording was Callas' second complete commercial recording of Tosca, the first being in 1953.
