Salome (1958 Quennet, Goltz / @1905 Strauss), Duisberg production, sound recording (opera)
Salome (1958) is a Duisberg production and sound recording of Salome (1905 Strauss / Lachmann), opera, conducted by Arnold Quennet.
Abstract
Recording of a performance at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Duisberg (27 November 1958).
"Although Christel Goltz did not have the longest career, in that short time she became synonymous with the role of Salome. Hearing this recording you can understand why she may have been one of the most ideal champions of one of the hardest roles in the operatic repertoire to cast. He silvery soprano has both the purity and the power to slice through Strauss' massive orchestra. She approaches the role in straight-forward way, eschewing the caricature trappings that expressionist music can inspire. The supporting cast is quite good particularly the Jochanaan of Carlos Alexander. The sound is very good."--Opera Depot.
