The cast here is a late-1990s Mariinsky one and cannot be either: Galuzin first sang Hermann for the company in 1993 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Galouzine) and Nikitin graduated in 1997 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Nikitin_(bass-baritone)). Billing: Hermann, Lisa and the Countess - the Countess being the title character. CAVEAT: the cast and the date rest on that one uploader's note; nothing independent lists this night.

Disc totals also differ: 65:01/57:18/47:12 here against Philips's printed 64:22/57:12/44:42. The last 3.5 minutes of disc 3 hold a sustained ovation (RMS plateau 1600-2500, no decay), so it is live. operadis CLTCQUEE.HTM lists no 1999 Gergiev Queen of Spades, consistent with a recording that never went on sale, and its two 1992 Gergiev/Kirov entries carry different casts (Grigorian/Guleghina/Filatova/Leiferkus live; Grigorian/Guleghina/Arkhipova/Putilin studio). The cast here is a late-1990s Mariinsky one and cannot be either: Galuzin first sang Hermann for the company in 1993 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Galouzine) and Nikitin graduated in 1997 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Nikitin_(bass-baritone)). Billing: Hermann, Lisa and the Countess - the Countess being the title character. CAVEAT: the cast and the date rest on that one uploader's note; nothing independent lists this night.
