5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Classic Elektra, January 8, 2006

This review is from: Elektra (Audio CD)

I was initially reluctant to purchase this cd because it is a digital remaster of a 1953 west german radio recording. Don't be reluctant. This has everything one wants in an Elektra: it is evil, desperate, sensual...even romantic. Astrid Varnay is magnificent. Her tone and phrasing bring one the chills that one should get when listening to Elektra. Leonie Rysanek and Res Fischer are excellent, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Elektra" As It Ought To Be., December 29, 2009

This review is from: Elektra (Audio CD)

I had written a long RAVE review of this recording and left the page to look up the conductor's name. When I returned, all my painstaking effort had been erased. Suffice it to say then that I found the recording SPECTACULAR on all fronts.I won't write so specific a review here again.
