Digital Booklet
|
|||||
“A classic superbly remastered, with Nilsson's searing anti-heroine and Solti building almost unbearable tension. Includes Resnik's raddled Klytaemnestra, Krause's heroic Orest and Marie Collier, at the peak of her career.”
- BBC Music Magazine
“It is one great strength of the new Decca set, though only one, that the opera is performed quite complete... Strauss's score is fantastically rich in musical detail of all kinds and Solti lavishes care and insight on every conceivable aspect of it... the onus of the performance falls firmly on Birgit Nilsson and she carries it as if it were all in a day's work... this is an amazing impersonation.”
- Gramophone
Inspired by Sophocles's tragedy Electra, the 1909 collaboration between Richard Strauss and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal on their version Elektra produced a dark and bloody opera that continues to both entrance and repel audiences today. This remastered digital release sees legendary Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson in the title role supported by the brilliant Sir Georg Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic, as recorded at Vienna's Sofiensaal in 1966.
