Rossini IL VIAGGIO A REIMS Vienna 1988

You may find this production in much better quality than mine. This one comes from VHS tapes in NTSC system. But what is really strange is heavy booing upon the entrance of Claudio Abbado. You will not find this booing in any other versions of this recording. I have no explanation for it.
