Bayreuth in the 1950s was annual summer home to the greatest cast of Wagnerian singers in the opera world, as the numerous and thankfully recorded performances from that house in that decade reveal. This 1957 performance of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg has as its female lead Elisabeth Grümmer in the role of Eva, whom some argue was the character’s finest interpreter. Conducted by the fine French Wagnerian André Cluytens, other cast members include Gustav Neidlinger and Joseph Greindl. Complete on 4CDs; 24bit/96kHz re-mastered.

Recorded live during the 1957 Festival D'Aix en Provence, each member of the unique cast involved in this production of Mozart's Cosi fan Tutte- Stich-Randall, Berganza, Panerai, Alva - is a singer of superb ability, reputation and a fine Mozartean singer of the time. Leading a famed, historic Parisian orchestra, Hans Rosbaud (1895-1962), a stalwart conductor of music past and present who is sometimes derided as a "Kapellmeister", was, as this and other recordings of the era prove, in fine form during his last full decade of life. Remastered in 24bit/96kHz sound.
