Comments:- Recording(s) made at performances in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (February 1962; see OPERA April 1962 p.278). None of the performances were broadcast so, presumably, the recording(s) was(were) made «in-house». The cassettes issued by Charles Handelman are listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 and the CDs issued by Live Opera Heaven are listed in their «February 2003 Update» and the recording issued on «A Voice from the Old House» label is listed on the website http://www.joancarlyle.co.uk (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). The recording issued on the Royal Opera House «Heritage Series» label is claimed to be of the performance on 23 February 1963, but as pointed out by Tully Potter in his review in CRC (loc.cit.) this cannot be correct as Amy Shuard did not complete this performance. He suggests that the recording «certainly derives partially from 27 February and possibly partially from 2 March.» The end of Act 2 (about a minute) is missing from this recording and «a further passage of more than four minutes ...is lost from from Act 3 Scene 1»
