Handel: Amadigi di Gaula, Minkowski (2 CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-25 03:22 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the Erato 2-CD set 2292-45490-2 of Handel's Amadigi di Gaula (Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre), barcode 022924549021 from the wanted list. Identity, codes, credits and the 62-track list come from the Discogs entry for the 1999 European repress (release 12230578), which scans this barcode; the 1991 first pressing (Discogs 11997150, same catalogue number, barcode transcribed without its check digit) is a second edition observation. Context from Wikipedia (Amadigi di Gaula) and the Discogs master; DE market derived from the Amazon.de listing B000009IT3 (matching title, cast, label and tracklist, no barcode printed, marketplace offers only). New family stub for the recording with the 2011 reissue (825646770168) as a second variant. Brand erato and company erato-disques reused. Gaps: GS1 prefix 0022924 licensee, pressing plant, licensed image.. This is the current version.
