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.»
