Comments:- Recorded at performances at the Bayreuth Festival. For a review of a performance at which Windgassen sang Erik see OPERA October 1955 p.637. The CDs issued by VOCE DELLA LUNA appear to be of the recording made by Decca, although this is not certain (see WAGNER NEWS Issue No.118 December 1996 p.16; Issue No.126 April 1998 p.13). The Teldec CDs are in «mono». Decca owns the rights to issue the stereo recording and Teldec to issue the mono (see ICRC Winter Edition 1997 No.11 p.5)
