Listen to a Sample:

Inge Borkh demonstrates why she more or less owned the role of Salome during the 1950s, bringing Hollywood glamor and a voice that would not buckle under strain.
Max Lorenz's Herod skews closer towards leading man than the grotesque caricature that this character all too often becomes.
Ferdinand Frantz's impressive baritone lends the role of Jochanaan an appropriate amount of fire and brimstone as well as sensual charisma.
A young Christa Ludwig plays the part of the page.
