Salome (1942) is a sound recording of excerpts from Salome (1905 Strauss / Lachmann), opera, conducted by Richard Strauss.
Abstract
Recording of two extended fragments captured live at the Vienna State Opera from performances on 15 February 1942 and 6 May 1942, with Strauss at the podium. "Although the recordings are extremely rough, they give an inkling of how the composer wanted his opera to sound: highly atmospheric, incisive but also intimate, with the voices placed front and centre" (Gramophone).
