| Disc No: GH 2213 | Considered by many music critics to be the greatest performance of Elektra in its era, the broadcast is an electrifying experience of Astrid Varnay at her best. She is supported by a fine cast and superlative orchestra galvanized by the conducting of Mitropoulos to incendiary effect. The performance stunned all who heard it and it has been extolled ever since. Now hear it yourself. Includes a booklet offering notes on the performance and singers. Unforgettable! |
