Comments:- Recording of a performance by the Vienna State Opera during a visit to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. According to Radio Times Fidelio was broadcast twice on 19 and 24 September 1947 (see Radio Times, Issue dated September 12 1947 p.24, Issue dated September 19 1947 p.20) and this recording appears to be of the performance on 24 September. According to the Times (September 25 1947 p.6) Hans Hotter was to have sung Pizzaro, but was ill, and was replaced by Paul Schöffler. The opera was performed using sets designed by Rex Whistler for Covent Garden . The CDs issued by the Istituto Discografico Italiano are incorrectly described as being a recording of a performance by the Covent Garden Company.

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 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).
