1940s broadcasts are uncommon. very solid casting. Practically the same cast does it twice again in 1945. Busch conducts the last one with Janssen replacing Sved. This is standard wartime Wagner with Melchior at the center and a solid ensemble. Cuts were common in these years, but it still is nice to have a 40s broadcast in the mix.
