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

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Vienna State Opera. Elisabeth Höngen sang Kundry in Acts 1 and 3. See OPERA June 1961 p.393, «...und ich wäre so gerne Primadonna gewesen» by Christa Ludwig pp.114-115. The reviewer in GRAMOPHONE [AB] states that on the RCA CDs Gurnemanz is sung by an unidentified singer in part of the opening scene of Act 1 and according to an article in GRAMOPHONE October 1999 p.15 the CD was subsequently remastered with Hotter singing the entire role. William Youngren (FANFARE May/June 2000 pp.332-333) stated that the «unidentified singer» is Jerome Hines recorded at Bayreuth in 1959 conductedby Knappertsbusch
