ELEKTRA:Strauss
Original Air Date: 02/27/1971
Böhm; Nilsson, Rysanek, Madeira, Stewart, Nagy
MOD Audio SID.19160743
This performance marks Madeira’s Met farewell, and reveals some of the vocal weakness that is surely partly resultant from her illness and death a little more than a year later. The rest of the cast, and especially Bohm are white hot. For Madeira at her best, go to the Bohm studio with Inge Borkh as Elektra. A very satisfying recording on all counts.
