"This recording of Don Giovanni is based upon the so-called Prague version, relating to the opera's premiere, at Prague's Nostitz Theatre on 29 October, 1787. ... Dating from 1981, this recording covers a total time of 161 minutes and was originally released on a set of three CDs ... we were obliged to cut several short sections of recitatives in Act I (7/I, 13/I)."--Program notes.
