Strauss: Salome - Borkh, Lorenz, Hotter, Barth; Keilberth. München, 1951
$9.95
Description:
Inge Borkh delivers a riveting performance in the title role, offering opulent tones while fearlessly pushing her voice to its expressive limits when the drama demands it. Hans Hotter, in contrast, brings a remarkable subtlety to Jochanaan, treating the role with the introspective finesse he famously brought to Winterreise. The result is a prophet who feels grounded and human, rather than monumental.
Joseph Keilberth draws remarkable clarity from the orchestra, bringing focus to moments that often dissolve into chaos in less capable hands. The sound is excellent.
