Recording edit

According to OCLC 876300618 the recording was complete (unusual for such really out-of-the-way operas, where one often finds recordings just of selected arias from the 1920s :) ) but on the other hand was issued in a limited edition of only 3000 CDs. (Perhaps it's available streaming- yes, yes it is, over Naxos Music Library. Interesting.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 15:27, 28 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Set design for Act V of the première of Dimitri, an 1876 French-language grand opera in five acts by Victorin de Joncières. Set to a libretto by Henri de Bornier and Paul Armand Silvestre after Schiller's incomplete play Demetrius, itself a story based on the life of the Russian pretender False Dmitriy I (reigned 1605–1606), the opera was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre National Lyrique. Dvořák's 1881 opera Dimitrij was also based on Schiller's play.
