Free Music Notes for Richard Strauss: Scenes from Salome & Elektra [Hybrid SACD]
Free Music Review: Sound problem
Hit: 4 Stars
I agree with an earlier reviewer about the SACD sound being a problem on convetional CD players. I've had problems with other RCA/BMG SACD releases as well. If you have a conventional CD player, you may want to play it safe and get the regular version (assuming it's still around). But do try and find it, as these are among the best Strauss vocal recordings ever made. For many of us, Reiner and Borkh "owned" this music, and my only regret is that they didn't get a chance to record the complete operas commercially. A true classic.Free Music Review: One of the best
Hit: 5 Stars
Fantastic. Different as I remember foim initial release in Australia in early 80s. I think many cuts were made for political reasons.Free Music Review: If You Own A SACD Player, Buy This Hybrid SACD. If You Have A Normal CD Player, Buy The Earlier Plain CD "Living Stereo" Version
Hit: 5 Stars
Hey there, fans of Strauss and Reiner, this is a phenomenal recording no doubt, but I have to warn people that this Hybrid SACD doesn't sound as good in a standard CD player as the earlier version of this recording.
Of course if you have a SACD player, you should buy this thing, but if you are like most people who have standard stereos, the original release will sound superior in your normal CD player than the Hybrid SACD. Trust me on this one, I am a perfectionist and an audiophile.

Hit: 5 Stars
These performances are amazing! The soundstage simply disappears out both sidedoors of the auditorium. If you don't like singing the Dance of the Seven Veils is so good it justifies the cost. One of the great performances of all time! Free Music Review: Hair raising Strauss!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great issue in this SACD series. Borkh has just the right sound for Elektra and Salome. Reiner backs her up perfectly. The CSO is in top form. Listen to the brass and you can be in heaven or hell.(Depends on your taste for his operas.)
Absolutely outstanding. The DSD remastering is phenominal!!
