The recording is now in the downloads file with 3 mp3 files with a text file with cast list and synopsis.

My previous comment that the performance is "trimmed" was a bit of an understatement. How can one make an objective assessment of such a rare piece when its value is destroyed by additions and sometimes substantial cuts. Try following the opera with Litolff's vocal score and you will see!

Thanks for everyone's input on this regarding the origin and connection to the Liszt transcription (which is great fun to play!)
