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:-

Comments:- *Video recording made at performances given by the Bavarian State Opera in the Aichi Prefectural Art Theater, Nagoya, Japan (8, 11 November 1992. «NHK, Japan's biggest television company, recorded the opera, although in the event was not allowed to broadcast the performance, the Japanese censor assuming responsibility not only for questions of sexual morals and morality but also for subjects governed by social taboos. In an opera that the Bavarian State Opera had brought to Japan with such pride and pleasure, the censor objected not only to the characters of Barak's three brothers,hunch-backed, one-eyed and one-armed respectively, but also to the librettist's allegedly 'unseemly' treatment of women.»
