Comments:- Recorded by Decca at performances and rehearsals (July, August 1955). See John Culshaw in «Ring Resounding» p.51. Since Sieglinde was sung by Mödl and Varnay in the performances at Bayreuth in 1955, the parts of this recording in which Sieglinde appears must have been recorded at rehearsals. This was possibly to avoid contractual problems as Mödl was an «EMI artist».

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.

Comments:- Recordings of performances at Covent Garden (see OPERA April 1961 p.271; AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE May 1961 Vol.27 No.9 p.708, p.710). The recording on the CDs issued by Testament is of the performance on 24 February 1961, the first of the run of six performances and, although not broadcast, was recorded by the BBC. 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). The Melodram LPs are advertized in GRAMOPHONE September 1983 p.407

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Vienna State Opera. Elisabeth Höngen sang Kundry in Acts 1 and 3. See OPERA June 1961 p.393, «...und ich wäre so gerne Primadonna gewesen» by Christa Ludwig pp.114-115. The reviewer in GRAMOPHONE [AB] states that on the RCA CDs Gurnemanz is sung by an unidentified singer in part of the opening scene of Act 1 and according to an article in GRAMOPHONE October 1999 p.15 the CD was subsequently remastered with Hotter singing the entire role. William Youngren (FANFARE May/June 2000 pp.332-333) stated that the «unidentified singer» is Jerome Hines recorded at Bayreuth in 1959 conductedby Knappertsbusch

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.
