Editor's notes:
* Package: Hard cardboard rectangular box contains 40 individual card slipcases with a total of 69 CDs and 1 CD-ROM. Each slipcase contains the CD/CDs (some operas comes in 2 or 3 discs) in individual paper wallets and a booklet with info and liner notes in English, German, French and Italian. Librettos are not included in the booklets but inside the bonus CD-ROM in PDF files. The box also contains an exclusive book of 134 pages in English, German, French and Italian

* First released on 22 September 2014. All 39 individual slipcases (except the CD-ROM) were also issued as stand-alone releases at the same time or a month later (not more than November 10). The stand-alone releases are identical (same package, including cat#, barcode, etc.) with the ones contained in the box although some were also reissued in jewel cases (from 2016 and on).

* Individual slipcases are ordered into the box in cronological order but there is no evident sign on them that shows the order (usually CD1, CD2 etc.). Cat# and barcodes are not in sequence either. The only way to find out the order is the matrix/runout info on each CD. The matrix/runout begins with the cat# of the individual slipcase followed by two digits indicating the number of the CD. For example: Release release has a matrix/runout info 0825646340040-01 and is the 1st CD in the box while release release has a matrix/runout info 0825646339914-70 and is the 70th CD.

For complete info/credits/tracklist please consult the links of the individual titles/slipcases below. The date used before the title is the recording date as printed on each inner wallet of the slipcases.
