NOTE: In the Sony CD liner notes, Sills says she didn't remember recording the three
Spanish numbers or for what purpose. Columbia issued only the Granados and the Ponce
items in the early 1970s twice - on a 2-LP set "Romantic Music of Spain" (P2S 5720), a
compilations of various orchestras and conductors; and, more strangely, on the
LP "Puccini for Orchestra" (DMS 622), which had "guest artist Beverly Sills" on
side one with the two Spanish numbers, and six Puccini arias for orchestra
only conducted by Kostelanetz on side two.
