The recording issued on the Royal Opera House �Heritage Series� label is claimed to be of the performance on 23 February 1963, but as pointed out by Tully Potter in his review in CRC (loc.cit.) this cannot be correct as Amy Shuard did not complete this performance. He suggests that the recording �certainly derives partially from 27 February and possibly partially from 2 March.� The end of Act 2 (about a minute) is missing from this recording and �a further passage of more than four minutes ...is lost from from Act 3 Scene 1�
