Aida — Danza sacra e duetto finale, Rigoletto — Paraphrase de Concert, and Il Trovatore — Miserere come from Boris Bloch’s Accord recital. Ernani — Paraphrase de Concert matches Herbert du Plessis on Pavane ADW 7275, while Don Carlos — Coro di festa e Marcia funebre is played by Giovanni Bellucci. Only the concluding Valse de l’opéra Faust remains unidentified. The tracks by Reyes and du Plessis have been slowed down.
