The accompanying booklet contains an essay by broadcaster, writer and former member of the orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Jon Tolansky (who played in the orchestra during part of Sir Georg Solti's tenure as Music Director); sung texts in the original language + English are included as well as a selection of photographs.
