Annotation

closely similar to https://www.discogs.com/release/9200461 (EMI, VTCDX 542) except that tracks 1.17 - Tosca, Act II: "Vissi d'arte" & 1.18 - Manon Lescaut, Act II: "In quelle trine morbide" are not listed in cd1 of that ref (assuming it's not an editor omission)

this tracklist does match that of https://www.discogs.com/release/24352670 though (EMI, 7243 5 85673 2 8)
