Comments:- See THE GRAMOPHONE, March 1963 p.422. Wolfgang Windgassen was a very late choice for the role of Siegfried. See «Ring Resounding» by John Culshaw pp.128-175. The singer who was originally chosen («Our Siegfried») had not learnt the part and was replaced. Culshaw does not give his name, but it is frequently stated that it was Ernst Kozub who died in 1971. However, the description of «Our Siegfried» given by Culshaw does not seem to me to fit Kozub very well. Was Kozub really «the owner of the best potential as a Heldentenor since the end of the war»? (ibid. p.151). Could it have been someone else? Kozub collaborated more than once with Solti after May 1962 as he sang Siegmund at Covent Garden in December 1962 and in 1965.
