8. Strauss: Elektra [DVD] DVD ~ Eva Marton

The list author says:
	"This is a brutal piece - the music is very stark and atonal compared to a lot of other of Strauss' operas, but I think justified given the subject."

10. Mozart: Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) -- Royal Opera House/Davis [DVD] DVD ~ Willi Hartmann

The list author says:
	"Feelgood Opera! According to Beethoven it's Mozart's best. For me it's 2nd to Figaro but it's also very different. Difficult to compare really. But who am I to disagree with Ludwig!"

14. Wagner - Tristan Und Isolde (Barenboim) [DVD] [2009] DVD ~ Ian Storey

The list author says:
	"This Opera is thought difficult often because of its "psycho-drama" based plot and therefore a sense of abstraction. However, the performance/staging recorded on this DVD set, brings the work to life"
