20 March 1985, Paris, Théâtre des Champs Élysées, Orchestre National de France, Chœur de Radio-France, Sir Jeffrey Tate
Don Giovanni – Hermann Prey
Leporello – Malcolm King
Donna Anna – Cheryl Studer
Donna Elvira – Gundula Janowitz
Don Ottavio – Gösta Winbergh
Zerlina – Krisztina Laki
Masetto – Marcel Vanaud
Commendatore – Sergei Koptchak
Truly a stellar cast! Was it recorded ?
The recording is linked above, AG.
The only recording of Janowitz’s Elvira, methinks.
De gustibus and all that. I always found Prey’s singing boorish and off key.
