The first three pieces were included in the program of the first half of the concert in Turin on June 6, 1952, and in the margins of the first act of the LP "Die Walkure" released by Chetola in 1985.The following year, in 1986, a CD (K33Y-195) of all five songs was released, coupled with the "Funeral March" from the May 31, 52, Act III performance of "Twilight of the Gods," and reissued in 1991 on KICC-7094, but this is the first appearance since then, and the first SACD of all five songs!
