Comments:- *The cassette with excerpts of a performance by the BBC with the cast members given as «Konetzni, Wettergren, Lorenz» and the year given as 1942! is listed in Charles Handelman's Live Opera Catalogue dated November 2000 p.75. As none of these singers were in England in 1942 it seems most likely that the recording is of one of the studio performances conducted by Thomas Beecham on 18 and 20 December 1946 which were broadcast by the BBC Third Programme. See Radio Times Issue dated December 13 1946 p.20, p.28. 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 dates of the performances are given correctly here, but Archipel gives the year (incorrectly) as 1947. There is a review by Dyneley Hussey in The Listener Issue dated 26 December 1946 pp.947-948

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».
