KlRufFreiberg1954VPOFurtwaengler.WMA The Viennese DECCA production of the RING under Solti is famous and exemplaric. Freiberg was still involved on the first horn, young Roland Berger recorded his superb LONG CALL on the single F Wiener Horn, which was his only LONG CALL besides one played during a rehearsal. But nevertheless, his CALL was my ideal.

Aufnahmen des Siegfriedrufes: Emil Wipperich, the first player of the Bayreuth LONG CALL 1896 (after the premiere series 1876) recorded it at the beginning of this century as did Anton Horner. (78 & wax roll) Emil Wipperich I still have hope to discover his recording of the Long Call 1904. I heard, that an important collector, a reference for EMI, should have this recording. I´m still hunting for it.

from the wax roll, recorded about 1912. I corrected the pitch only, no other editing. Paul Ploetner from Dresden can be heard with the first signal of the Long Call on a Bayreuth recording of 1936. (78) - tenor: Max Lorenz Franz Koch, Vienna Symphony, 1949, Rudolf Moralt conducting, live, Koch using a high F descant horn Barry Tuckwell is to be heard on the Live recording of Siegfried, produced by Sadler Wells Opera in London 1973, published by Chandos in 2001

Leopold Kainz, Vienna State Opera, concert with excerpts from the Ring, conducted by Hans Knappertsbusch, Vienna Jan.31st, 1942; Siegfrieds Rheinfahrt (Rhine Journey) Kleiner Ruf (Short Call)2nd from right Lucien Thevet, Paris, on his personality recording:
Unidentified unsuccessful attempt to end the Short Call (somewhere in northern Italy but not Milano) Bob Tucci, my Tuba colleague, who was with the VPO when they recorded the RING under Solti, just told me, that when Roland Berger recorded the Long Call, the sound engineer played back a recording of the call they had done shortly before in Israel with the horn player DelVescovo from France, including all the vibrato, so Roland became really shocked about the result (!) of his playing. Big laughter when the truth came out. That tricky sound engineers ......???? - Roland never played the Long Call in any Siegfried performance. What a pity, really !! links: click 6click for files with contents about the Bavarian State Orchestra (BSTO) & the horn players there & the history
