Comments:
Information from owned LP, previously kindly provided by Robert
Horres. See also Tudor 0501 [LP] Das
Fest der Pierbaldo (Le Festin de Pierbaldo) nach dem sonettenkranz
"Mundus Placidus" des Simon d'Orvieto; this LP is nearly
identical, but it was recorded in 1970 or prior, and this one in
1973.
Klaus Walter states in a personal e-mail: "There exists another
LP that we recorded for TUDOR records earlier. It is about the
same, as far to the programme, but without the sonnet of Prudenciani.
This was not planned like that, because without the words, the
program is senseless. Therefore we did not agree, that the LP
would be issued in this form, but we allowed TUDOR to sell the 500
records already pressed.".
