Comments:- *According to the review in ORPHEUS the recording on the CD issued by Legato (Premiere?) is of a performance at the MET, but according to the �MET Annals� (CD-ROM edition) Mitropoulos never conducted Tosca with Kirsten and Barioni in the same performance there. Rather, it appears to be a re-issue of the studio recording made for the �Metropolitan Opera Record Club�. According to �The Complete Discography of Dimitri Mitropoulos� by S.A. Arfanis p.111 this was made in March 1957.
