Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Salzburg Festival (27 July 1950). According toHunt part of the Olympic version derives from a 1953 performance (John Hunt «The Furtwängler Sound» 5th Edition, 1996, p.72); The recording on EJS 419 is probably from a different performance (See «EJS Discography» p.398, «More EJS» pp.604-605). The Melodram LPs are advertized in GRAMOPHONE December 1983 p.739 and the Discocorp LPs are (were?) listed in Parnassus Records' online catalogue

Comments:- Recording of a performance at La Scala (April 4 1950). Arkadia has published a set of 4 CDs(WFE 364.4 or 362 014) which is said to be of a performance on April2 1950. (See ORPHEUS, March 1995 p.61, Wagner News, No.110 July 1995 p.17, Répertoire No.82 p.87). The review in the ARSC Journal describes a very careful comparison of this recording with the others and the reviewer [GAG] concludes that it is indeed of a different performance

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Salzburg Festival (27 July 1953). According to Henry Fogel in his review in FANFARE of the CDs issued by Music & Arts «Until now most reissues of a Siepi/Furtwängler Don Giovanni were of the 1954 performance, even if they were labeled 1953. CD editions on Fonit Cetra, Hunt, and the Bruno Walter Society, and LP editions on Foyer, Cetra Live Opera, and Morgan, were all labeled 1953 but were, in fact 1954.». The CDRs issued on the Encore label are (were?) listed on the website of «berkshire record outlet inc.» (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM).
