5.0 out of 5 stars Hair raising Strauss!!, August 4, 2005
This review is from: Richard Strauss: Scenes from Salome & Elektra [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
This is a great issue in this SACD series. Borkh has just the right sound for Elektra and Salome. Reiner backs her up perfectly. The CSO is in top form. Listen to the brass and you can be in heaven or hell.(Depends on your taste for his operas.)
Absolutely outstanding. The DSD remastering is phenominal!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Own A SACD Player, Buy This Hybrid SACD. If You Have A Normal CD Player, Buy The Earlier Plain CD "Living Stereo" Version, November 7, 2006
By 
dv_forever (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Strauss: Scenes from Salome & Elektra [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
Hey there, fans of Strauss and Reiner, this is a phenomenal recording no doubt, but I have to warn people that this Hybrid SACD doesn't sound as good in a standard CD player as the earlier version of this recording.

Of course if you have a SACD player, you should buy this thing, but if you are like most people who have standard stereos, the original release will sound superior in your normal CD player than the Hybrid SACD. Trust me on this one, I am a perfectionist and an audiophile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barnstorming in the Concert Hall!, December 20, 2005
This review is from: Richard Strauss: Scenes from Salome & Elektra [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
These performances are amazing! The soundstage simply disappears out both sidedoors of the auditorium. If you don't like singing the Dance of the Seven Veils is so good it justifies the cost. One of the great performances of all time!
