Parto, Parto

I was going through some old Gramophone cover CDs and came across a terrific version of Parto, Parto from La Clemenza di Tito, with Theresa Berganza and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra conducted by Istvan Kertesz. It came out (or at least was reviewed) in 2003 as Decca 430 105-2DM2, but it's in mono, so it's undoubtedly a reissue of the 1967 recording. See http://images.cch.kcl.ac.uk/charm/liv/pubs/DeccaV.pdf, item V286.

Berganza and the clarinetist are spectacularly good. I assume this was before Peter Schmidl's time. Does anyone have this recording, and does it list the clarinetist? Alternatively, does anyone know who was principal in the VSOO in 1967?

Probably Alfred Prinz.

Surely all Vienna recordings were made in stereo from the late 1950's at least.
Alfred Boskovsky was certainly around in the 1950's 60's and early 70's but seems some overlap with Alfred Prinz (did they share principal duties for a few years?)
