5.0 out of 5 stars A rich and vibrant recording of Strauss' greatest work, 29 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Wolfgang Sawallisch brings the same energy to Strauss' powerful masterpiece as to his recordings of Der Ring. However, this uncut recording expresses the rich texture and melodic intensity contained within Strauss' dynamic score to Hofmannsthal's complex libretto. Rene Kollo's powerful interpretation of Der Kaiser is beautifully complemented by Studer's poignant Kaiserin in her search for meaning and compassion. With the passion of Elektra and the romance of Der Rosenkavalier, this truley is one of Strauss' greatest works and this one of the greatest recordings of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 7 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I've often found this opera OTT in performance, leaving with the impression that the creators' sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut tactics have not totally come off. Sawallish changed my opinion: he plays it all with tremendous integrety, brings out the best of a cast that on paper looks pretty mixed and completely convinces you that it's Strauss greatest work! Only a very thorough knowledge and love of the score can achieve this. The recorded sound, like the performance, is spectacular without being relentlessly "in your face".

3.0 out of 5 stars R.Strauss:Die Frau Ohne Schatten Sawallish conducts, 17 Jun 2009

The plastic case was awfully damaged so that I had to replace it by myself. The damage seems to be caused by the seller's rough treatment, not by shipment.
