Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Berlin State Opera, DDR (30 October 1983). The cast also includes Heinz Reeh, Peter Olesch. According to the programme published in OPERA (December 1983 pp.1327-1328) Tosca was to have been conducted that season by Suitner (as given above) or (Heinz) Fricke. I do not know which conducted the performance on this recording.
