Chor der Wiener Staatsoper - Wiener Philharmoniker
ARTURO TOSCANINI
Live - Salzburg, 16 August, 1936
+ Overture Leonore I, op. 138
BBC Symphony Orchestra
ARTURO TOSCANINI
Studio - London, Queen's Hall, June 1, 1939
According to the book "More EJS: discography of the Edward J. Smith recordings" by W. Shaman, W.J. Collins and C. M. Goodwin (1999) the correct date is august 16, 1936 and the performance has been misdated in several sources (24 july, 26 august etcetera).
Note: Unfortunately, the little "jump" at the beginning (0:31) of the overture is present in all the available sources.
The correct date for Leonore n. 1 is June 1, 1939
IMPORTANT UPDATE: In the comment section you can find a link to a new source (with Leonore's Aria), kindly provided by Historic Opera.
Thanks a lot!

Please discard the cover included in the rar archive.
I forgot to change number (is 007, not 006).
Damn James Bond :-)
Thank you.
These fragments always remind me the love affair between Arturo and Lotte.
There should have been a passionate music making.
