Abstract

Recorded in Dresden, Germany: Lukaskirche, 22/29 August 1963.

"Christel Goltz [was] another famous post-war Salome ... [After the 1948 and 1954 recordings], her last attempt came in 1963 – by then well past her prime, though still commanding. Otmar Suitner, conducting the Dresden Staatskapelle, obtains one of the most rhythmically precise Salomes in the catalogue."--Gramophone
