One can also stream the cpo recording over Amazon Music, Apple Music, etc. It's listed by cpo as currently not available, which may not be the same as deleted.

I own the historic recording with Korngold at the Piano, and it has quite a charm to it. The spoken passages are so unmistakably Viennese! The plot is rather silly, of course (if it wasn't in my mother tongue, I could easily just not pay attention to the dialogues and song texts, but as it's German I can't). But given the music and the many earworms, I don't care!
Very nice to hear that it is going to be staged.
