Strauss: Elektra
Tinsley, Schlemm, Card; Seibel
Frankfurt
$9.95
Description:
Pauline Tinsley would have owned the role of Elektra if she had been singing it today. Fortunately, this recording preserves her unique brand of brilliance that combined a fiery temperament, a voice of limitless power, and a deep connection to every word that was uttered from her lips. Anny Schlemm is excellent as Klytämnestra, matching Tinsley in intensity and playing off of her well dramatically. There is a fair amount of rustling of the microphone throughout the opera, but it doesn't detract too much from the impact of this gripping performance.
BONUS:
Pauline Tinsley sings Elektra's monologue in English (Cardiff, 1977)
In Mono
