Jocelyne Taillo, Kolos Kovacs, Mady Mesplé, Nicolas Christou Ambrosian Opera Chorus Royal Philharmonica Orchestra Lamberto Gardelli EMI 50999 6 40763 2 4 (2010). Recorded 1972 [flac, cue, log, scans, digital booklet] Bellini went to Paris in 1833 (two years after Chopin) hoping to receive a commission from the Opéra but the only opera he was going to write before his premature death was I puritani for the Théâtre-Italien.
