Re-pitched DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG Jones, Adam, Kmentt, Hemsley - Böhm - Bayreuth 25VII68

In 2008 Orfeo released this excellent sounding stereo broadcast using the master tapes from Bayerischer Rundfunk, featuring Waldemar Kmentt's Stolzing debut and Theo Adam's first Bayreuth Sachs, jumping in for Walter Berry after the dress rehearsal. Amazingly, Orfeo did not pay attention to tape speed at all, and acts one and two were up to a quarter-tone flat (a=335 Hz instead of 447 Hz) with rather strong pitch drift. Act three however was almost perfectly and consitently at a=447 Hz. I restored pitch of all three acts to a=447 Hz. DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG Oper in drei Aufzügen von Richard Wagner.
