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

Recordings of Aida by Giuseppe Verdi are surveyed in the following publications:-

High Fidelity January 1960 Vol.10 No.1 p.98, October 1963 Vol.13 No.10 p.146; HARRIS p.17; Opera on Record p.304; CELLETTI p.815; MARINELLI p.190; Opera on CD(1) p.57 (2) p.64 (3) p.72; L'Avant Scène Opéra No.4 p.114; MET p.643; MET(VID) p.400; PENGUIN p.461; Opera Quarterly Vol.2 No.4 p.68; GIUDICI p.1012 (2) p.1636; Opéra International No.258 juin 2001 p.22

Comments:- It seems likely that this is a recording of part of a performance at the MET on 28 November or 8 December 1970 as these appear to be the only two occasions when these singers sang together at the MET. The role of Amonasro was sung by Cornell MacNeil and Mario Sereni on these dates. The date of February 1970 given by Hunt (A Notable Quartet p.94) appears to be incorrect as according to the �Annals of the Metropolitan Opera� Aida was not performed in that month. The CDs issued by Melodram are listed in Bongiovanni's catalogue (December 1994) p.12. Gala has also issued excerpts with these singers on their CDs entitled �Christa Ludwig - Rarities� (GL 100.596) and assigned them incorrecty to a performance at the MET on 28 February 1970. This mistake probably arose from the eleven being read as a Roman �II� by someone
