A video recording is listed in Live Opera Heaven's «October 2002 Update» (C 1199) with this cast and the date given as 1 August 1961, but with the conductor stated to be Gavazenni.

Comments:- Recording of a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's version (modified by von Karajan) at the Salzburg Festival (See OPERA Festival Issue 1965 pp.31-35 High fidelity/MUSICAL AMERICA November 1965 pp.204-207). According to the review in OPERA Karajan confused «the plot with further cuts, placing the Pimen scene for some strange reason before the coronation». The Berkshire Record Outlet list on their website (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM) a recording (Encore CD 140-2) which appears to be of this performance, but attribute it to Salzburg 1964 with the conductor named as «Radev». According to Josef Kraut (Festspiele in Salzburg) Boris Godunov was not performed at Salzburg in 1964 and no conductor named Radev appeared there in the period 1920-1969. However two singers with this surname appeared in Boris Godunov in 1965: Marianne Radev and Gregor Radev.
