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

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Vienna State Opera (June 1964). According to �Chronik der Wiener Staatsoper 1945-1995� p.440 von Karajan only conducted two performances of �Die Frau ohne Schatten� at the Vienna State Opera (on 11 and 17 June 1964). A recording of the performance on 11 June, in which Fritz Wunderlich sang the �Stimme eines Jünglings�, has been issued on CD by Nuova Era, Hunt, and DG and is listed separately. The cast given by Gala for their recording corresponds to that for the performance on 17 June except that the �Stimme eines Jünglings� was not sung by Fritz Wunderlich, but by Ermanno Lorenzi. This is also indicated in the entry for the recording of the performance on 11 June 1964 in the Fritz Wunderlich web-site:-

Comments:- Recording of a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's version (modified by von Karajan) at the Salzburg Festival (See OPERA Festival Issue 1965 pp.31-35 High fidelity/MUSICAL AMERICA November 1965 pp.204-207). According to the review in OPERA Karajan confused �the plot with further cuts, placing the Pimen scene for some strange reason before the coronation�. The Berkshire Record Outlet list on their website (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM) a recording (Encore CD 140-2) which appears to be of this performance, but attribute it to Salzburg 1964 with the conductor named as �Radev�. According to Josef Kraut (Festspiele in Salzburg) Boris Godunov was not performed at Salzburg in 1964 and no conductor named Radev appeared there in the period 1920-1969. However two singers with this surname appeared in Boris Godunov in 1965: Marianne Radev and Gregor Radev.
