In Classical Mood: Opera Favorites: Quest for Freedom

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Don Carlo says it's ℗1970. However at present have only found the stated performer combination, Carreras, Cappuccilli, van Dam, Freni, Ghiaurov, Baltsa, Raimondi, Berliner Philharmoniker & Karajan from late 1978 (℗1979)
Please correct once known if (a) they did perform it c.1970, (b) the date is wrong, as it is set now, or (c) the line up is wrong!
