    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has -been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Verdi's Otello
    Verdi’s Otello - A partial discographical survey by Ralph Moore Before I began this survey, I had little idea just how many recordings of Otello were available. There are in fact well over two hundred, so I cannot even begin to aim for comprehensiveness, and while I am always happy to learn of an especially well-performed version, I hope any readers will refrain from castigating me for not being more inclusive. There was an explosion of live recordings from the 1960’s onwards, many of which re similar and in mediocre sound, making it all but impossible to differentiate meaningfully amongst them all, but there is also a total of twelve studio recordings, making consideration of those, at least, perfectly feasible, in combination with an assessment of what I hope is a judicious selection of live performances and radio broadcasts. In my pruning, I have applied certain criteria: they must be sung in Italian and in reasonable sound, and I have excluded any made by artists before they reached artistic maturity or which duplicate recordings made earlier in their career when they were in better, fresher voice. There are, for example, scores of live recordings of Del Monaco; buried in his Otello costume when he died in 1982, the “Brass Bull of Milan” supposedly claimed to have sung the role 427 times during a career of thirty-five years, which is surely an exaggeration. The true figure is probably something over two hundred, but, in any case, still points to the necessity of being selective and even ruthless in identifying the best.
