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:- According to Christiam Merlin in L'Avant Scène Opéra the VHS issued by Pickwick and labeled as a video recording of the production of 1980 (cond. Kuhn) is in fact a recording of the production of 1972 conducted by Pritchard. According to «Glyndebourne Recorded» p.246 a performance was recorded by Southern Television on 13 August 1972 and transmitted on 27 May 1973. This recording must have been made at a special performance as the season ended on 2 August and the cast listing in OPERA Festival Issue 1972 p.28 does not give Anthony Roden as singingBelmonte. The TV transmission is reviewed in OPERA August 1973 pp.751-752.

Comments:- Video recording of a television film. «After the end of the 1965 Festival Glyndebourne produced three one-act operas in the theatre for BBC television - Dido and Aeneas, L'Heure espagnole, and Busoni's Arlecchino.....The Purcell and Ravel operas had never been performed at Glyndebourne before and so qualified for a useful subsidy from the BBC which helped the cost of staging the two new productions for its 1966 season (Spike Hughes in «Glyndebourne - A History of the Festival Opera» p.242). When it was performed at Glyndebourne in 1966 Sheila Armstrong sang Belinda and Patricia Johnson sang the Sorceress (Hughes loc. cit. p.342)

Comments:- According to the review by DST in OPERA (December 1959 pp.796-797) the opera was performed in a «badly mutilated» version made by Zandonai because that was the only orchestral material that Ricordi could supply. According to the «EJS Discography» p.261 «Sides three and four of this set have been defective on virtually all copies, with heavy pressing bumps». It was not however the first revival in the twentieth century as DST (loc.cit.) reports that he had seen a performance by the Kentish Opera Group fifteen months earlier. He also reviewed this for OPERA (September 1958 pp.609-610)
