Comments:- Recording of a performance at La Scala (April 4 1950). Arkadia has published a set of 4 CDs(WFE 364.4 or 362 014) which is said to be of a performance on April2 1950. (See ORPHEUS, March 1995 p.61, Wagner News, No.110 July 1995 p.17, Répertoire No.82 p.87). The review in the ARSC Journal describes a very careful comparison of this recording with the others and the reviewer [GAG] concludes that it is indeed of a different performance

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Bayreuth Festival (14 August 1955). See OPERA October 1955 pp.639-641 where Peter Heyworth wrote «I cannot say that I admire Martha Mödl's Brünhilde. Admittedly her upper register sounded at the end of the Ring less exhausted and threadbare than I have heard it in the past. But there is still a ruinous sense of effort about her singing, as though the voice was being laboriously pumped out of her lungs without the aid of head resonace. Nor has she the range of colour and emotion needed for a part of this length.»
