Listen to a Sample:

Pros:

  • This performance of Elektra finds Ursula Schröder-Feinen in her magnificent (yet all too brief) vocal prime.
  • As Chrysothemis, Leonie Rysanek eats the scenery during her scenes, offering vocalism and personality that can only be characterized as "larger than life."
  • Astrid Varnay on the other hand paints with a finer brush; depicting a tortured Klytämnestra for whom you simultaneously feel pity and revulsion.
  • Karl Böhm finds rhythmic accuracy in the orchestra without sacrificing the organic, primal atmosphere of Strauss' score.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
