Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires (May 1966). The cast listed above is that given in the website of the Teatro Colón (click link below):- where the singer of the role of Mârouf is given as René Massard. I have taken this to be an error and that the singer was Robert Massard. The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». It is also stated that the source is a «Good to VG in-house tape».
