Comments:- Recording of a performance at The Salzburg Festival (6 or 8 August 1959) (See OPERA October 1959 p.653). The date given in the «EJS Discography» (p.336) is 8 August 1959, but the date given by DG is 6 August 1959. It is possible that the DG recording is of the dress rehearsal as there was no public performance on this date. The LPs issued on the Opera Disc label are listed in «The Canfield Guide to Classical Recordings» 5th Edition.
