Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Vienna State Opera (June 1964). According to «Chronik der Wiener Staatsoper 1945-1995» p.440 von Karajan only conducted two performances of «Die Frau ohne Schatten» at the Vienna State Opera (on 11 and 17 June 1964). A recording of the performance on 11 June, in which Fritz Wunderlich sang the «Stimme eines Jünglings», has been issued on CD by Nuova Era, Hunt, and DG and is listed separately. The cast given by Gala for their recording corresponds to that for the performance on 17 June except that the «Stimme eines Jünglings» was not sung by Fritz Wunderlich, but by Ermanno Lorenzi. This is also indicated in the entry for the recording of the performance on 11 June 1964 in the Fritz Wunderlich web-site:-
