Strauss: Elektra
Schröder-Feinen, Rysanek, Varnay, Cassilly, Stamm, Schwarz; Böhm
Hamburg, 1974
$9.95
Description:
This performance of Elektra captures Ursula Schröder-Feinen in her all-too-brief vocal prime, delivering the title role with intensity and brilliance. Leonie Rysanek, as Chrysothemis, makes a grand impression—her singing and stage presence are nothing short of larger-than-life, infusing each scene with vivid personality. In contrast, Astrid Varnay brings a more nuanced portrayal to Klytämnestra, shaping a character who evokes both revulsion and sympathy through subtle, expressive detail. Karl Böhm leads the orchestra with rhythmic precision, yet manages to preserve the score's raw, elemental power.
