composed by Richard Strauss

Decca's Elektra is a remarkable account of the opera. Recorded in 1968, produced by John Culshaw with an all-star cast, this performance captures the opera's brutality and atmosphere of nearly uninterrupted hysteria. Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the great Strauss orchestras, in a searing reading of the frenzied score. Solti ...

composed by Richard Strauss

Richard Strauss' early operatic success with Salome helped secure the composer a distinguished place in history. Although the lustful Salome had been portrayed before, it wasn't until Strauss expounded upon Oscar Wilde's play that this story became so massively successful. The popularity that the opera enjoyed has only seemed to grow, and a number ...

Just a generation ago, posterity hadn't quite made up its mind about Franco Corelli. Corelli was an operatic oddity, a self-trained singer with movie star looks who largely learned his craft from listening to old records of his predecessors. Corelli made up for what he may have lacked in conventionally trained, "beautiful" tone with an approach ...

performed by Birgit Nilsson (soprano), Philharmonia Orchestra of London, Otto Klemperer (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Is Otto Klemperer's 1957 recording of the "Pastoral" the greatest ever recorded? Despite the stiff competition, it could be. Furtwängler's with the Vienna is a richly imagined fantasy of the "Pastoral" and very, very great. Walter's with the Philadelphia is a superbly played, deeply poetic, and profoundly beautiful "Pastoral" and very, very great. ...
