This configuration of Strauss concerts was a Sinopoli staple from the very late 1980s. He did it in Salzburg with Jessye Norman a few days after this Prom (the only part of this concert I have come across). There is also one from May 1991 at La Scala Milan where the soprano is Inga Nielsen (this concert is the only one that is complete, but it is also in the worst sound).
Chris Howell is also correct in that there is a performance of the VLL with Karin Ott from Turin, probably the weakest sung of the Sinopoli versions. This wasn't an all Strauss concert (a Brahms 4, I think).
Michael, there was a Prom performance of the Four Last Songs by Lott and Sinopoli on 14 August 1990 and presumably it was broadcast but I cannot trace that.Maybe somebody else can advise?
