Die Frau Ohne Schatten

Posted by: David Hobbs-Mallyon on 06 November 2001

I saw this at the Royal Opera House a couple of weeks ago, and really enjoyed it - very different to Salome or Electra, with almost a Wagner-like sound to it. Anyway, I wondered whether anyone could recommend a recording. I know there is supposedly an excellent recording by Solti with a starry cast. I'm not a great fan of Solti, and certainly can't put up with his Wagner. Also newer recordings tend to get favour over older ones in things like the Penguin guide, so any advise appreciated.

Try Decca 1955: VPO/K. Böhm!

I also love this Opera...

......after some of the antics on this forum recently, it's nice to see some positive contributions. I think I might start with the video and go from there.

Cheers
