Description:

Complete first appearance!!!! Wieners, Hotter, Dench, Windgassen, Della Casa, Madeira, etc., in "Die Meistersinger" at the Vienna State Opera in 1961! In the Wagner Year, a rare sound recording has been unearthed: a live recording of "Die Meistersinger" performed at the Vienna State Opera on May 27, 1961. It has never been released on LP or CD, and there is no evidence of pirate distribution on tape or CD-R. This is a complete first release. Only the exchange between Sachs and Effa in Act III was included in the Della Casa recording of the Vienna State Opera released by ORFEO (ORFEOR685091). Since the performance was part of the Vienna Arts Week, the cast was magnificent. Walter is Wolfgang Wintgassen, a renowned Helden tenor of the highest caliber. Effa is Liza della Casa, for whom this role was one of her winning performances.For Sachs, Otto Wiener, who sang Sachs at Bayreuth in 1958 and 1959 and also famously recorded the reopening of the Bavarian State Opera. Luxuriously, Pogner is Hans Hotter. Beckmesser is the accomplished Viennese baritone Karl Dench. Darfito is Murray Dickey, also a Mozart tenor. Magdalena is Jean Madeira, a beautiful American mezzo-soprano. In addition, names such as Heinz Imdahl, Kurt Eckwirtz, and Franz Bierbach can be found in the master ensemble. Heinz Warberg (1923-2004), known to the Japanese for his repeated performances with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, was a very active opera conductor until his 40s, especially with Wagner. He was also the conductor of the New Zealand premiere of "Die Meistersinger.However, there are only a few recordings of the complete work left, and they are all in poor sound condition. This Vienna recording of "Die Meistersinger" with a splendid cast is valuable for understanding Warburg's true value as a Wagner conductor. Please note that there is some missing material in the third act. Please understand. King International
