The Bayreuth Festival held there is often called the Mecca of Wagnerian music; countless legends have been born from its past performances and are still passed down to this day. In particular, in 1951, Knappertsbusch—who achieved performances of Wagner that remain unrivaled to this day—appeared to conduct the complete *Ring Cycle*.\nKnappertsbusch’s “Götterdämmerung,” which made its debut here, was recorded with Decca’s full resources at the time. However, due to contractual issues with the performing artists, it was never released; its existence was passed down through word of mouth, making it a truly legendary recording. Despite repeated requests for its release, it remained unavailable. Now, Testament Records has resolved these issues, and for the first time in nearly half a century, it is being released on CD.\n\nBrünnhilde… Astrid Wallnay (soprano) \/ Siegfried… Bernd Ardenhof (tenor) \/ Gunther… Hermann Ude (baritone) \/ Waltraute… Elisabeth Hengen (mezzo-soprano) \/ Alberich… Heinrich Pfanzer (bass) \/ Hagen…Ludwig Weber (Bass) \/ Gutrune…Marta Mehdl (Soprano) \/沃克林德…Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Soprano) \/ Verngunde…Hanna Ludwig (Soprano) \/ Flörhilde…Herta Tepper (Mezzo-Soprano) \/ Others\nBayreuth Festival Orchestra and Chorus (Chorus Master: Wilhelm Pitz)\nConductor: Hans Knappertsbusch\nRecording: Saturday, August 4, 1951 (Live Recording) World Premiere Release\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
