Hi Jay, Some recordings are quite difficult to find. I don't know where you are located, but I tried a search online at amazon.com, and I found the following:
Iris (Patane): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000026XH/qid=1032580357/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-0529934-0320912 Iris (Gelemetti): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000005STG/qid=1032580357/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/102-0529934-0320912 Le Maschere (Gelmetti): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000479AL/qid=1032580436/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical Il piccolo Marat (Bakels) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000044A2/qid=1032580272/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical L'apoteosi della cicogna, Pinotta, A Giacomo Leopardi, Zanetto: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000044AD/qid=1032580461/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical Parisina: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005UOWE/qid=1032580563/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical Lodoletta (Rosekrans): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000308W/qid=1032580685/sr=1-15/ref=sr_1_15/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical Nerone (Bakels): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000448Y/qid=1032580748/sr=1-16/ref=sr_1_16/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical Guglielmo Ratcliff (De Bernart): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000DD4Q/qid=1032580778/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical There is also Denia Mazzola Gavazzeni's CD, which features arie from many of those operas: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005UOWE/qid=1032580836/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-0529934-0320912?v=glance&s=classical Some entries listed above are "special orders", meaning that they may be able to get them or not if their source is out of stock. Interestingly enough, it seems that nowadays Parisina has become one of the Mascagni operas that is the easiest to find! I did not list here several recordings they list but mark as "limited availability". For those you can try your luck. At Tower Records (www.towerrecords.com) they list the other Ratcliff: http://www.towerrecords.com/product.asp?pfid=1900424&cc=USD They say "limited quantities", which means they may not have it. Missing from the list are I Rantzau (label fone, www.fone.it), Amica (label Kikko Classics), Isabeau (the Bongiovanni version seems completely out of print, and I don't know who carries the Cetra excerpts). The versions of Amica, Isabeau and Zanetto conducted by Kees Bakels should be released in the relatively short-term future on label Bongiovanni, so if you are patient enough you will be able to get those versions. I hope this helps! -Erik Jay & Susan Ginsburg wrote: > Hello: > I would very much like to know where and how I can acquire other > operas CDs besides Cavalleria and L'Amico, Especially those > mentioned in this email. > > Jay Ginsburg -- Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
