Bellini: Norma (Sutherland, Horne, Alexander, Cross, Bonynge) (3 CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 23:03 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the 2002 Decca 3-CD reissue of Bellini's *Norma* (Sutherland, Horne, Alexander, Cross; LSO & Chorus, Bonynge; catalogue 470 413-2, The Compact Opera Collection), a wanted barcode the old site listed as "sutherland joan norma". Identity is confirmed by the MusicBrainz release 14a750a2 and two Discogs releases (12389946, 8072318), all carrying 028947041320, plus a retailer listing that prints the UPC. Recording date and venue (July 1964, Walthamstow Assembly Hall) come from the Discogs master 846902 and the Wikipedia Norma discography. The MusicBrainz annotation's "1984" is recorded as a disputed research gap. Relations: marketed_by company/decca-music-group (the ℗/© holder per Discogs) and manufactured_by company/edc-germany (Discogs, matrix runouts). Also created family/bellini-norma-sutherland-horne-bonynge-1964, listing the 2006 Decca reissue (UPC 00028947579021, Decca Classics page). 43 tracks come from MusicBrainz; credits, matrix and SID codes come from Discogs. country_of_sale is left empty because no listing with a known country could be read, and gs1_prefix_owner is omitted because no source names the registrant. No licensed cover exists: Cover Art Archive has none.. This is the current version.
