Underrated Masterpiece, July 29, 2003
This review is from: Strauss: Die Liebe der Danae / Krauss (Audio CD)
Indeed it is a schame that such wondrous historical recording has been neglected for so long...First we do have an awe inspiring Krauss at the helm of the VPO,in a live premiere event,and foremost Paul Schöffler(1897-1977),one of the legendary voices of the post-war Vienna ensemble,a voice that alas cannot be equalled nowadays,no matter the studio wizardry effects.
However the recording has one drawback:Orfeo failed miserably ommiting a full libretto-at the very least in german!And in fact,as far as I know the libretto is unavaliable in the whole WWW...however if you are a devoted Straussian,you will face the challenge,and believe me it's well worth.
