Salome (1975)
The Best of the Salomes on DVD
28 June 2018
This is a riveting performance of Richard Strauss' groundbreaking opera, a glorious step forward toward modern music drama. Stratass is glorious in the title role, Bernd Weikel is a superb Jokanaan. The great Astrid Varnay is perfect as hernias, as is Hans Beirer as Herod. Karl Böhm is a master of the score and the Vienna Philharmonic is in top form. Beautifully staged. It is a thrilling experience to watch. Bravo!
