Sinopoli's Elektra bears all of the hallmarks of his great recording of Salome (possibly the finest ever recorded) - great transparency, an unnerving sense of a drama unfolding and a great rapport with his singers. Alessandra Marc is very fine in the title role, and absolutely compelling in her closing scene. What makes this recording so recommendable is the playing of the Vienna Philharmonic and the engineering. >From a purely sound point this recording is thrilling - totally clear and allowing one to hear Strauss' opulence and dissonance as it might in the opera house. A wonderful, fully aural experience, as spectacular as any since CDs were first released.
