This is THE outstanding version of Strauss' most glittering opera - a surreally talented cast makes effortless work of the hardest Soprana aria ever written (Zerbinetta's astounding coloratura)

Karl Bohm's stupendous account of this opera, with which he worked since its premiere, gives incredible warmth. Stunningly well sung (as you'd expect...listen to the amazing glissando finale with awe)

Technically faultless (glass like) instrumentation on the lush Duett-concertino makes this incomparable (like being in the orchestra). So what if the conducting is a little limp sometimes?
