Jussi Bjorling recorded Cavalleria Rusticana with Renata Tebaldi in September 1957 and I have been informed (by "Shicoff1") that these six recordings with Orchester des Maggio Musicale Fiorentino conducted by Alberto Erede were made to fill up the LP on which the last part of the opera was recorded. The recordings are as follows:-
0:06 Cielo e mar - La Giocanda (Ponchielli)
4:57 E' la solita storia (Lamento di Federico) - L'Arlesiana (Cilea)
9:41 Amor ti vieta - Fedora (Giordano)
11:31 Di tu se fedele - Ballo in maschera (Verdi)
14:49 Tra voi belle - Manon Lescaut (Puccini)
16:27 Ch'ella mi creda - La fanciulla del West (Puccini)
The order in which the arias were actually recorded on the day was 1,6,3,2,4,5.
For those not familiar with Jussi Bjorling, he was born in 1911 in Sweden and throughout his career he was regarded as one of the world's greatest tenors and even today many still rate him as the best ever. He made many wonderful recordings, mostly operatic but many others of different genres. Unfortunately in 1960 he suffered a heart attack and died at the age of just 49.
I've restored/remastered quite a few of Jussi's wonderful recordings either separately or as part of compilation videos and if you want to listen to them all the link to the playlist is
