Works like Beatrice di Tenda were not rediscovered and staged until the second half of the 20th century.
It is unfortunate that Beatrice di Tenda was never really received well enough to give it a slot in standard belcanto repitory.
Despite Bellini's opinion that Beatrice was worthy of her sisters Norma, Amina and Elvira, sad to say, she's not quite there.

 Sound Recordings Review-- Bellini: Beatrice di Tenda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
In is first scene, Carreras seems passive compared to Zilio's pointful Agnese, and, in the stretta of their duet, she seems to impel the melody while is restatements of it rather plod.
This Orombello's first words to Beatrice, though, come as a bracing relief from what has immediately preceded them, and his entreaty to her ("Indugi ancora?") is lovingly caressed (Carreras's roulades are bit vague, it must be conceded).
"Angiol di pace" unfortunately doesn't show the tenor (or anyone else) to best advantage: it's too fast, unsteady of ensemble, and generally absent of repose.

 Nightingale Classics catalog - Beatrice di Tenda
Nobile ed estatica nel fraseggio, la Gruberova ha dipinto l'ideale dell'innocenza "calpestata e afflitta", della virtù di "sovrumana forza" interiore con ricchezza di sfumature timbriche nei legati, omogeneità d'emissione, fluidità d'accenti.
Noble and profound in her phrasing, Gruberova portrayed the ideal of "oppressed and afflicted" innocence and the virtue of inner "superhuman force" with a richness of timbre in the legato passages, evenness of tone and fluidity of accent.)"
"Beatrice's final number, "Ah, se un urna" is the music Chopin wished to hear on his deathbed, and Gruberova's performance of this typically Bellinian aria is one of the many highlights of this set, illuminated by her mastery and understanding of the bel canto idiom."

 Discographie Beatrice di Tenda / Il Puritani
Les discographies de Beatrice di Tenda et de I Puritani qui vont suivre accueilleront parfois quelques enregistrements "privés" et donc non commercialisés, mais qui témoignent du succès des ouvrages et de la diversité des distributions que se sont illustrées dans ce répertoire.
Certes, tout est loin d'y être parfait, notamment Cornelius Opthof, Filippo autoritaire mais vocalement trop vociférant, ainsi que les coupures pratiquées par Richard Bonynge, mais l'incarnation de Joan Sutherland force l'admiration tant par l'impact d'une voix à son sommet que par une maîtrise technique exceptionnelle.
A ses cotés, Giuseppe di Stefano n'a rien d'un belcantiste et ses aigus ouverts, son manque de style peuvent agacer, mais le timbre, solaire, pas encore abîmé par la fréquentation de rôles trop lourds, est littéralement électrisant.

Best of the rest is the spirited if sometimes crude Adalgisa of Fiorenza Cossotto.
Bellini himself called Beatrice di Tenda, his penultimate opera, "unfortunate." Its premiere in 1833, even with Giuditta Pasta in the title role, was a failure, only the Act II quintet (still its best number) winning approval.
Among singers of recent days, only Joan Sutherland has been able to make a succes d'estime of the one-dimensional title role, a feat beyond the powers of the squally Spanish soprano Angeles Gulin, heard in Eklipse's capably transferred 1973 RAI aircheck.
