Salome (1990) is a Berlin production and sound recording of Salome (1905 Strauss / Lachmann), opera, conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli.
Abstract
Recorded in Berlin, Germany: Jesus-Christus-Kirche, December 1990.
"Cheryl Studer is a first-rate Salome, recalling the piercing lustre of Welitsch and the cultivated tone of Cebotari. Yet it seems to me more a technical tour de force than a fully inhabited portrayal. Bryn Terfel, in his recorded debut, towers as Jochanaan and Rysanek unleashes a fearsome Herodias, but Horst Hiestermann ploughs his way through Herod in bland, gruff fashion. Sinopoli's interpretation strikes me as enthusiastic but overwrought Strauss without the ironic detachment."--Gramophone.
