I notice that Karajan's 1950s Der Rosenkavalier has been released in stereo and mono versions on CD - I wondered if anyone knows of any other Opera recordings from the time which have appeared in mono and stereo versions on CD?

Thanks

RE: Mono versions of early Stereo Opera recordings on CD?

Has anyone seen the mono Schwarzkopf Karajan Rosenkavalier available online other than the hard-to-get 1996 CD edition? I read in a Gramophone article about the different versions but have not been able to find a mono copy which is not exorbitantly priced to sample the differences.

Thanks
