Description

One of the greatest opera recordings ever made: Solti's incandescent 1967 Decca recording with Birgit Nilsson delivering a titanic, unsurpassed Elektra. Regina Resnik's searing Klytämnestra and the Vienna Philharmonic at their ferocious best complete a legendary cast, while Culshaw's iconic engineering still sounds spectacular. An absolute essential for any serious opera collector.
