Not long before this recording was made in 1961, a deal was struck between RCA Victor and Decca\/London to make recordings in London, sometimes using Decca’s personnel, that would initially be released on the RCA label, but after a period of time would revert to ownership and released by Decca. A number of operatic recordings were made pursuant to this arrangement, including an Aida featuring American soprano Leontyne Price and Canadian tenor Jon Vickers, conducted by Georg Solti, and a Flying Dutchman featuring Austrian soprano Leonie Rysanek, George London, and American bass Giorgio Tozzi, conducted by Antal Dorati (see the first release of this great recording on pitch \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/products\/wagner-the-flying-dutchman-dorati-orchestra-chorus-of-the-royal-opera-house-covent-garden?variant=40646410109081\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e). All of these recordings featured a number of singers who were prominent leading singers at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Conductor – Erich Leinsdorf\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrchestra – London Symphony Orchestra\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoprano Vocals [Brünnhilde] – Birgit Nilsson\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoprano Vocals [Sieglinde] – Gré Brouwenstijn\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMezzo-soprano Vocals [Fricka] – Rita Gorr\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTenor Vocals [Siegmund] – Jon Vickers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBaritone Vocals [Wotan] – George London\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBass Vocals [Hunding] – David Ward\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eValkyries: Marie Collier [Gerhilde, soprano], Julia Malyon [Ortlinde, soprano], Margreta Elkins [Waltraute, mezzo-soprano], Joan Edwards [Schwertleite, mezzo-soprano], Judith Pierce [Helmwige, soprano], Noreen Berry [Sigrune, mezzo-soprano], Maureen Guy [Grimgerde, contralto], Josephine Veasey [Rossweisse, mezzo-soprano].\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recorded by RCA Victor in collaboration with Decca Records at Walthamstow Town Hall, London, England, September 1961\u003cbr\u003eEngineer [Recording] – Kenneth Wilkinson Producer – Erik Smith\u003cbr\u003eDigital transfer: Robert Witrak, Chief Engineer, High Definition Tape Transfers, Inc.
