Both Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream and Beethoven Symphony No.8 are sourced from the original WDR tapes and have been superbly remastered. They appear for the first time on CD.
The Mendelssohn performance, with its wonderful clarity, like the Beethoven Symphony No.8, is in general faster than the studio-made recording in 1960.
Käthe Möller-Siepermann was a regular performer at Cologne Opera. Hanna Ludwig also performed there and at other houses in Germany as well as further afield. She retired in 1968 to pursue pedagogical and lecturing opportunities. One of today’s most-admired singers, Diana Damrau, was a pupil of Ludwig’s.
