Absolutely Supurb singing -- especially by the soprano Eva Johansson singing the role of Elektra; it is a tour de force. She makes this production worth buying. Though I have seen productions of practically every other opera by Richard Strauss, this was my first experience with Elektra, and this recording has made it one of my favorites. What a score! Though the production suffers from the typical rejection of anything obvious currently popular in Europe, it still shows the power of the work, ... Read More

There is no lack of ideas here. The problem is that none of the ideas have anything to do with making Elektra more accessible or with clarifying the libretto, which is not needed in any case. The stage is littered with what looks like mounds of old grey rugs strewn about. There are many doors, maybe about three feet apart, through which a lot of people come and go. During Elektra's monologue, someone opens one of the doors, wipes the handle, and exits. No idea why. There is a lot of movement; ... Read More

My first exposure to Elektra was in 1953 with the San Francisco Opera Company; I was lucky enough to see it both in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The cast was truly legendary: Inge Borhk, Margarete Klose, Ludwig Suthaus and Paul Schoeffler. Also making his debut was Solti. I believe Ellen Faull (sp?) was Chrysothemis. I can't say that I knew the opera since it was hardly common currency. And although I was very young I certainly responded to the singing (notably Borkh and Klose) as well as the ... Read More

Modern aspect of Strauss' Elektra though not of high quality. The director's aspect was totally uncaused and unreasonable, pitty for the singers and the conductor.
Johansson is the best VOCALLY Elektra I have ever 'seen' on stage. HOWEVER her acting has nothing to do with Elektra of Eva Marton (the best Elektra ever for me) Gwyneth Jones, Birgit Nilsson, L. Rysanek. I feel she had NO HELP at all from the stage director.
The whole production, GENERALLY, lucks of inspiration and good acting.

TDK has released a new DVD of an Elektra captured in Zurich
from December 2005. It is a total success.
This opera is one in which a design team can revel. They
can go to the absolute max here in matching Strauss's
tortured music. To my mind, the opera can be made
contemporary to any degree, and ideas to convey its
darkness can be endless. Leonie Rysanek
once stated she did not care for a traditional Classical
Greek setting for the piece, and I agree. ... Read More
