Listen to a Sample:

Pros:

• First off, the performance is in English! And if that weren't enough to sell you on this recording, this is also happens to be one of the most hot-blooded performances of this work I have ever heard.
• Pauline Tinsley is simply astonishing in the title role, delivering unflagging intensity interspersed with moments of ravishing beauty.
• A young Anne Evans is radiant as Chrysothemis.
• Willard White offers rich, burnished tones and impeccable English diction as Orest.
• Richard Armstrong commands power and precision from the orchestra.

Cons:

• None to mention.
