Comments:- *Recording of a performance broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (October 1947). According to «More EJS» portions of the recording of the finale on the Rococo LPs were taken from the commercial recording conducted by Beecham. Two performances were broadcast, on 24 and 26 October 1947. See Radio Times Issue dated October 19-25 1947 p.24 and that dated Oct.26-Nov. 1 1947 p.4. According to the review by James Miller in FANFARE the recording on the CDs issued by Opera d'Oro (OPD 1431) is not of the performance conducted by Beecham but of that conducted by Miropoulos (Salzburg 1957) that has also been issued by Opera d'Oro (OPD 1190).
