Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Nationaltheater, Munich (27 July 1977). According to the review in OPERA (Festival Issue 1977 pp.83-84), Arabella was to have been sung by Anna Tomova-Sintov, but as she was ill, Julia Varady who had sung Tatyana in the general rehearsal of Eugene Onegin the previous day and was to sing in the first night the next day, took over

Comments:- The recording issued by Premiere is an «in-house» recording of a performance at the Deutsche Oper, Berlin in variable sound with some gaps (tape changes?) (31 March 1982). The recording issued on the Ponto label is of the performance on 22 March 1982 and is probably better. The performance on 28 March is reviewed in OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL mai 1982 No.49 p.38 and that on 22 March is reviewed in ORPHEUS Mai 1982 S.374-S.376 ).

Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (April or May 1987). The CDRs issued by House of Opera are included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 «03/12/22» where the date of the recording is given as 14 April 1987. However, on this day Rosalind Plowright sang Desdemona (see OPERA June 1987 pp.694-696). Julia Varady sang Desdemona on 24, 28 April and 2, 7 May 1987. The performance on 24 April 1987 is reviewed in OPERA June 1987 pp.699-700. None of these recordings was broadcast so the recording was probably made «in-house».
