Remarks
Broadcast from the Bayreuth festival
A production by Wieland Wagner (1951)
This recording is from the second Ring cycle in 1955. The complete Ring cycle was broadcasted but only Walküre and Götterdämmerung has been released by Testament so far.
The first Ring cycle was not broadcasted but recorded by Decca und released by Testament.
In the third act after Wotan’s long monologue it’s Varnay that starts singing (Wohl taugte dir nicht die tör’ge Maid etc.) and then all of a sudden Mödl takes over (Muss ich denn scheiden). Testament gives no explanation for this.
