In response to a request for some of Erich Kleiber's performances from the Teatro Colon here is just over 30 mins of Meistersinger from 1949. The extracts consist of the Overture plus some extracts from act 3. It is perhaps most notable for being the earliest example of Hans Hotter singing Sachs. In Suthaus the performance has a heavyweight Walther and in Weber a truly great Pogner. The sound is not too bad for the era.
