Salome (1990) is a Dresden production and sound recording of Salome (1905 Strauss / Lachmann), opera, conducted by Seiji Ozawa.
Abstract
Recorded in Dresden, Germany: Lukaskirche, November 1990.
"On Seiji Ozawa's Philips set, Jessye Norman sings the title role with a vocal finery that recalls Caballé, though of course the tonal quality is quite different; notable here is Norman's strength below middle C. Unfortunately, her natural-born stateliness creates a slightly absurd effect; I'm put in mind of a grande dame stepping gingerly through a swamp. Neither she nor Ozawa has the temperament to wallow in the depths."--Gramophone
