The 1962 appearance is more like the best of. We hear:
Verdi: Don Carlo (Atto IV) Tu che le vanita
Bizet: Carman
Prelude
Jabanera (Acte I)
Entr'acte (Acte III)
Séguedille (Acte I)
Watching Maria adds a detention missed in
Puccini's Tosca (alto II), 1964 will hold your attention; however, I am glad that there are subtitles as I only knew the story from secondary sources. Dennis Wicks as Sciarrone looks like Arty Johnson. This is a long scene however it is not the complete story. So as with the 1962 section, this is the best of.
The advantage of this recording is that there are no commercials it gets down to business. The disadvantage is the recording is not well focused.
Be sure to obtain the RMI classics CD's of Callas so you can carry her with you.
