Agree with all your picks though would argue Karajan’s 1972 La Boheme should also be added as a reference. This, along with the Beecham, are a step above the rest.
Have you done, or will you consider , doing a review of great (and not so great) recordings of Don Giovanni? It’s a bit of an obsession of mine and I have tons of recordings , not to mention DVDs and BluRays, but would be interested in your list. For what it’s worth, my favorite of many great ones is the Mitropolous Don, live from Salzburg.
I think he recommends Carlo Maria Giulini's recording with Eberhard Wächter as Don Giovanni, Joan Sutherland as Donna Anna, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as Donna Elvira, Graziella Sciutti as Zerlina, and Gottlob Frick as the Commendatore.
Oooh, how fun! For Boheme, my go to is the same cast as your Butterfly, Tebaldi/Bergonzi. And I think you're spot on with all the others.
Excellent choices

@@miro.georgiev97No! That is the consensus choice. I will do a video on my own recommendations when I get to my “best of” videos for opera.
@@GilZilkha Ah, my mistake. Sorry fo the conflation.
