Recordings from Deutsche Grammophon, Decca, Philips, EMI, Virgin, Sony, RCA, Harmonia Mundi, Chandos, CPO, and Opera Rara normally include an English libretto, although less expensive reissues may only have synopses. It is not always easy for us to know if a given recording includes a libretto in English, but we do try to note if a libretto is missing in the album notes for the CD.
