Comments:- *An abridged version recorded in the Festspielhaus, but not at performances (see The Gramophone January 1959 p.390). According to David Hamilton «...the solos ofIvar Andresen, the Landgrave, are slotted in from studio recordings made in Berlin, though Andresem is clearly audible in the act 1 ensembles, I cannot detect his distinctive sound in act 2 except in those extraneously recorded solos» (The Opera Quarterly Vol.3 No.4 Winter 1985/86 p.86). These remarks only apply to the re-issue on LP by EMI-Electrola, where the Landgrave's «Gar viel und schön» was slotted in from an earlier recording by Andresen made with the Berlin State Opera Orchestra conducted by Fritz Zweig. The original 78s also contained «Ein furchtbares Verbrechen» (side 26) taken from an earlier recording (see THE OPERA QUARTERLY Vol.19 No.1 Winter 2003 p.82)

Comments:- Although the casts as stated are identical, it is possible that the performance on Melodram black disc (dated 21-11-57) is different from that on the DATUM CD (dated 14,16-11-57). More likely the dates given by Datum are the dates on whichthe recording was made and the date given by Melodram is the date on which it was broadcast. In support of this the latter is also the date given in «50 Annidi opera lirica alla RAI 1931-1980» (p.145) where the dates are normally those of the first broadcast
