I was reading a review of Ring recordings by Alan Blyth in an old book called Opera on Record. In it he said that John Culshaw made a passing remark that Decca recorded the 1955 Ring at Bayreuth live and *in stereo*. Could this be possible? If so, was the conductor Kappertbusch or Keilberth? Imagine a live stereo Ring with Kna, Hotter, Varnay, Windgassen etc. It would surely eclipse the somewhat hysterical Solti effort which would be a good explanation of why such a recording would have gathered dust in the archives for almost 50 years ... If it does exist I wonder if it could ever be released. Regards, David H. Nottingham, UK
