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 ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Nietzsche may have been the first, but he was by no means the last to note that Parsifal was blasphemous. Wagner's final opera, his self-described "sacred festival stage play," Parsifal is a work steeped in the Christian mythology of the cross and the blood, but its message of compassion through suffering and transcendence through renunciation is ...

composed by Alban Berg

While there is much for fans of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau to admire in this set of both the operas of Alban Berg, it is impossible to recommend these recordings. Fischer-Dieskau is a commanding presence in Wozzeck: powerfully sung and deeply affecting, his portrayal of the doomed everyman still stands with the best ever recorded. And Fischer ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Although the big story in Wagner reissues in 2006 was the first commercial release of the 1953 Joseph Keilberth/Bayreuth Ring, the first stereo Ring, the real story is the first great-sounding release of the 1953 Clemens Krauss/Bayreuth Ring, the first and only Ring by one of the greatest of Wagner conductors. One can readily understand the ...

That's not surprising, given the sound quality, which is unusually clean, full, and well-balanced for a live recording of that era, the high standard of the orchestral playing, and the star turns from the principals.
