Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (April 1977). It appears that none of the performances of Faust at Covent Garden in April 1977 was broadcast, so, presumably this recording was made «in-house». The performance on 19 April 1977 is reviewed in OPERA June 1977 p.601. The CDRs issued by «The Opera Lovers» are listed on the website http://www.operalovers.ca (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM)
