Comments:- The orchestra and chorus are stated incorrectly on the LPs to be those of «Norddeutscher Rundfunk» which was not formed until 1955 (see «Lexicon der Interpreten klassischer Musik im 20.Jahrhundert» S.849, S.883. Premiere has issued a recording (CDNO 650-2) of what appears to be this performance, but with the conductor given in their catalogue as Stokowski.

Comments:- The recording issued by the Omega Opera Archive is listed in their online catalogue (see CLORLINK.HTM) where it stated that their recordings are available «on CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape». The date of the performance recorded is given here as June 1961. If the partial cast that they list is correct then this date is almost certainly incorrect as according to the «Chronik der Wiener Staatsoper 1945-1995» (p.635) Svanholm only sang Walther von Stolzing at the Vienna Staatsoper twice after World War II, on 27 September 1952 and 4 October 1954. As Karl Böhm conducted «Die Meistersinger» for the first time in Vienna (after World War II) on 24 February 1953 (ibid. p.303) the most likely date for the recording issued by Omega seems to be 4 October 1954. The performance took place in the Theater an der Wien.

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Vienna State Opera (14 November 1955). This performance was badly reviewed by PH in OPERA, January 1956 p.28 . According to the review in the ARSC Journal the recording on the Melodram CDs is of a performance on 4 November 1955, a date which seems very unlikely given that the rebuilt opera house opened on 5 November 1955

Comments:- Recording of a performance in a German translation by Winfried Zillig at the Vienna State Opera (February 1960). The cast listed above is as given in «Karajan an der Wiener Oper - Dokumentation einer Ära» (Japanese edition p.107). The date of the performance recorded is given by Gala, incorrectly, as 6 February 1969. According to Chronik der Wiener Staatsoper 1945-2006 by Andres Láng p.482 Hans Hotter only sang Galitzky 3 times at the Vienna State Opera, between 6 and 22 February 1960, so perhaps this recording is of a performance on the first of these dates. I thank Mr David Cohen for drawing my attention to the difference between the date I quote and that given by Gala.

These CDs were issued under licence from the BBC. The recording on the LPs and CDs issued by Melodram and the CDRs issued by Celestial Audio is presumably of the performance on 7 March 1961 which was broadcast by the BBC Third Programme (see Radio Times Issue dated March 4-10 1961 p.37).
