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».
