whitewhale1965 12th Dec 2022		Classical Item Symphony Orchestra Of The Bavarian Radio, Munich - Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream (1966)	I think the 03 track title in English is in error and should be: Nocturne

whitewhale1965 7th Dec 2022		Classical Item Großes Wiener Operetten-Orchester - Richard Heuberger ∙ Franz Von Suppé	It is not clear if the fourth track is performed by Elisabeth Roon & Hans Löffler, or if it's an instrumental with the orchestra only. The back cover appears to indicate the singers are included; the b-side label does not. Only a listen will satisfy me.
whitewhale1965 7th Dec 2022		Classical Item Großes Wiener Unterhaltungsorchester - Franz Liszt: Ungarische Rhapsodie Nr. 2	"Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor, S.244/2, is the second in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt" ~wikipedia

whitewhale1965 3rd Dec 2022		Classical Item Orchestra And Chorus Of The Théatre National De L'Opéra - Highlights From 'Faust' (1959)	It's difficult to imagine these recordings are different than the ones on This LP - that this same group of performers recorded these tracks more than once, and in the 1958/1959 time frame. Rita Gorr, the contralto, is noticeably not credited on this album, but is on the other.
whitewhale1965 3rd Dec 2022		Classical Item Benjamino Gigli - Benjamini Gigli (1958)	It doesn't say it but we know the following to be true: 01: Sung in Latin, with The Berlin State Opera Orchestra And Chorus; conducted and arranged by Alois Melichar 02: Sung in Latin, with The Berlin State Opera Orchestra And Chorus; conducted by Bruno Seidler-Winkler 03, 04: Sung in German, Orchestra conducted by Dino Olivieri
