Strauss: Arabella
Goltz, Metternich, Schlemm, Witte, Pflanzl, Goerlich; Keilberth
Berlin, 1950
$9.95
Description:
As Arabella, Christel Goltz, best known for her searing portrayals of Elektra and Salome, reveals a more nuanced vocal dimension in this performance. Her soprano retains its ample force, but here she shapes Strauss’s long lyrical lines with unexpected delicacy and poise. Josef Metternich brings an easy warmth and natural charm to Mandryka, while Anny Schlemm, heard early in her career, is a revelation as Zdenko—fleet, expressive, and vocally assured. The sound is good throughout.
