Comments:- The recording appears to be of a (staged) performance given by The Vienna State Opera in the Royal Festival Hall, London (September 1954). The performance on 23 September was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (See Radio Times Issue dated September 19-25 1954 p.37). The recording is attributed incorrectly by Archipel to a performance at Covent Garden.

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Glyndebourne Festival (June? 1951; see OPERA August 1951 pp.457-462). The CDs issued by Urania are advertized in ORPHEUS Juli 2001 S.75. According to Urania the recording is of a performance on 6 June 1951. This is almost certainly incorrect as the Festival did not begin until 20 June. It is more likely that it was taken from a broadcast. According to RADIO TIMES Idomeneo was broadcast in the BBC Third Programme on 28 June and 14 July 1951. The CDs issued by Symposium were made from «acetates» lent by Hans Busch and part of Elektra's aria is missing as one acetate was broken.
