Product Description
CD85551 Simon Boccanegra, BBC c.1965
Hi everyone I don't have definitive information about this performance. I originally thought it to be live broadcast from Covent Garden since this cast was performing this opera during December 1965. However on listening it quickly became apparent that this was a BBC studio recording since there was no audience or applause. It was most likely recorded sometime during December 1965 when everyone was assembled in London for the stage performances. It was not broadcast at the time, and I actually don't know when it was broadcast, though clearly it was as the cast is announced at the end. Anyway it's an interesting performance, Gobbi is great, and the sound is decent BBC mono.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
