Comments:- According to Christiam Merlin in L'Avant Scène Opéra the VHS issued by Pickwick and labeled as a video recording of the production of 1980 (cond. Kuhn) is in fact a recording of the production of 1972 conducted by Pritchard. According to «Glyndebourne Recorded» p.246 a performance was recorded by Southern Television on 13 August 1972 and transmitted on 27 May 1973. This recording must have been made at a special performance as the season ended on 2 August and the cast listing in OPERA Festival Issue 1972 p.28 does not give Anthony Roden as singingBelmonte. The TV transmission is reviewed in OPERA August 1973 pp.751-752.

Comments:- A recording of a «close approach» to the 1912 version. The opera is not precededby the play «Der Bürger als Edelmann», but instead «each musical piece» is accompanied by a specially written monologue for M.Jourdain. The review in IOC gives more details of what has been omitted
