However, I have played classical music from I was 5 years old and listened to opera since I was 10. Furthermore I tend to listen to a relatively small operatic repertoire centered around Richard Wagner/Strauss + Mussorgsky and more recent composers.

This is a stereo recording of very good quality. Excellent supporting cast such as Gerhard Stolze, Regina Resnik and Marie Collier.<BR/><BR/>Some prefer Böhm´s recording with Inge Borkh, mostly opera...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05653818157295091506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-56253255120623549932007-11-22T19:32:00.000+01:002007-11-22T19:32:00.000+01:00Which is the best recording of "Elektra"?Which is the best recording of "Elektra"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
