Comments:- Recording of a concert performance given at the Tanglewood Festival (12 July 1969). According to the review in OPERA (Festival Issue 1969 p.126, p.128) «...although the opera was performed in German, a narrator connected the arias, duets and ensembles with a spoken commentary in English that both disrupted the musical flow and provided moments of grotesque hilarity...». The CDRs issued by Premiere are listed in their list entitled «FALL 2003 PREMIERE OPERA COMPACT DISC RELEASES» where an additional cast member «Gordon» is given. This is, presumably, the Bassa Selim.
