Comments:- Recording of a performance in Lisbon (27 March 1958). See the ARSC Journal 1987 Vol.19 No.2-3 pp.54-61. According to Robert E. Seletzky EMIs 1997 remastering �is dominated by shrill upper-frequency distortion and accentuated tape hiss - in short, unlistenable�. According to Nuno Miguel Marqques (Opera-l Sun,17 Mar 2002 10:38:50) a version of this recording made from the tapes in possession of Radio Difusão Portuguesa was issued on CD in a limited edition in December 2000 in Portugal. The recording issued by Premiere is a copy of this and that on The Mike Richter CD-ROM is a also a �copy�, but in MP3 format. Mike Richter has published a very interesting history of the various versions of this recording on ARSCLIST@sun8.LOC.GOV
