Richard Strauss' Elektra - with a grand cast led by
Hildegard Behrens in the title role and Leonie Rysanek as Klytemnestra
 ELEKTRA - the complete opera (Import)
(This is avant-garde Strauss. The work's dissonant and complex orchestration which befits the opera's gruesome plot is, however, laced with tender moments of lyricism. An outstanding cast; this live recording is a winner!)
