"It has long been rumoured that the part of the high priestess in act I was sung by Suzanne Danco. Decca were usually very thorough in listing credits, even for the most minor rôle, so this omission would seem to lend credence to the theory that they were 'protecting' one of their star sopranos who had agreed to sing a small part"--Insert, p. 12.

Recorded Aug. 1952 in Rome.
