Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Glyndebourne Festival (June? 1951; see OPERA August 1951 pp.457-462). The CDs issued by Urania are advertized in ORPHEUS Juli 2001 S.75. According to Urania the recording is of a performance on 6 June 1951. This is almost certainly incorrect as the Festival did not begin until 20 June. It is more likely that it was taken from a broadcast. According to RADIO TIMES Idomeneo was broadcast in the BBC Third Programme on 28 June and 14 July 1951. The CDs issued by Symposium were made from «acetates» lent by Hans Busch and part of Elektra's aria is missing as one acetate was broken.

Comments:- Recorded at performances at the Royal Swedish Opera (14 April, 9 June 1955 and 18 November 1956). According to Michael Tanner, writing in IRR, «It (the recording) was largely made in-house, on a recorder placed in a box on the first-tier. Evidently the microphone was near to someone with a severe cold, who coughs noisily and often, and sometimes blows her nose vigorously.»

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.

Comments:- Recording of a performance at Teatro Colón. Caballé quarreled with the conductor and was nearly dismissed, but this was prevented by the intervention of Nilsson (See «Casta Diva» p.112). The conductor is given as Molinari-Pradelli on Mike Richter's website (http://www.mrichter.com), but this appears to be incorrect as according to the website of Teatro Colón (http://www.operas-colon.com.ar) all the performances of Turandot in 1965 there were conducted by Previtali. There is a review on the internet of the CDs issued on the label «Memoria Sonora del Teatro Colón»
