Comments:- Recording of a perfomance in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. This is probably of the performance on 6 November 1958 which was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (see Radio Times Issue dated November 2-8 1958 p.43). The performance on 31 October 1958 is reviewed in OPERA December 1958 pp.809-812. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». Here the date of the performance broadcast is given as «Nov, 7 1958», but Boris Godunov was not performed at Covent Garden on that date. The CDRs issued by «Live Opera Heaven» are listed in their «JANUARY 2008 ALERT». The date of the performance recorded is also given here (incorrectly) as «11/7/58».

Comments:- Recording of a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's version in The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (November 1974). It appears that this performance was not broadcast so, presumably, the recording was made «in-house». In one of the seven performance that were given the role of Varlaam was sung by Richard Van Allan and that of the Hostess was sung by Anne Wilkens in two of them (see OPERA September 1975 pp.887-889). It is therefore possible that these singers appear in the recording issued by Charles Handelman which is listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 p.13.

Comments:- Recording based on a performance given on Danish Radio with an audience (27 March 1972). The booklet which accompanies the LPs contains the following note «Based on the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) Copenhagen performance, 27th March 1972. In a subsequent session, brief supplementary retakes were made for technical reasons, conducted by Joel Lazar assistant to Jascha Horenstein» This was amplified by Joel Lazar in an E-mail to the OPERA-L website (12 June 2000). Mr. Lazar states «In December 1973, [with Horenstein's prior consent] I returned to Copenhagen and recorded the major scenes from Acts I and IV with Boris Christoff to cover passages which had not gone to their satisfaction in either the performance or in rehearsals. Approximately 25 minutes of the final release comes from that session.» This was some months after Horenstein's death on 2 April 1973
