Comments:- This appears to be a recording of the performance in the Royal Opera House on 10 May 1960 (i.e. 10/5/60 European style) which was broadcast (see Radio Times Issue dated May 8-14 1960 p.41). The performance on 29 April 1960 is reviewed in OPERA June 1960 pp.446-447. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». Here the recording is described as being of «Trojans at Carthage». But the indicated length «4 hours» and the presence of Shuard in the cast list strongly suggests that it is of the complete opera. The date is given incorrectly as «Oct.5.1960» (i.e. 10/5/60 Americam style).

Comments:- Recording of a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's version in The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (November 1974). It appears that this performance was not broadcast so, presumably, the recording was made «in-house». In one of the seven performance that were given the role of Varlaam was sung by Richard Van Allan and that of the Hostess was sung by Anne Wilkens in two of them (see OPERA September 1975 pp.887-889). It is therefore possible that these singers appear in the recording issued by Charles Handelman which is listed in his catalogue dated November 2000 p.13.
