4.0 out of 5 stars This is an amazing and groundbreaking opera
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016

This is an amazing and groundbreaking opera. Julius Patzak is a great Herod, one of the most beautifully sung on record. There's no need for the character to be sung by an overblown tenor with an ugly voice, so for his performance alone I'll give this one four stars. Christel Goltz certainly pulls off the very difficult and vocally taxing title role, but she's not my favorite Salome. Fortunately, we have so many great performances to choose from: Caballe, Behrens, Nilsson. Some will enjoy Cheryl Studer or the video with the great Teresa Stratas. This performance is worth a listen for historical significance, but it's not a great recording.

UPDATE: Christel Goltz IS an amazing Salome, just not in this performance. Her recording with Keilberth is one of the most exciting on record.  Salome

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, if somewhat Archaic
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2009
Aside from Karl Böhm, Strauss' conductor of choice during the last decades of his life was the Austrian Clemens Krauss, a genius of conducting whose recorded potential was cut short due to an early death. Clemens Krauss' sparse discography is capped by the magnificent Ring Cycle he immortalized on disc from the 1953 Bayreuth Festival. Through his conducting and his lineup of magnificent singers are listeners treated to one of the most alive, narrative, brisk, yet well calculated Rings ever committed to the recorded media. A year later, he was dead, leaving many more years of great music making only in the imaginations of those who wanted more evidence of his brilliance. To imagine a Tristan from him!

He was, however, at least able to offer a Salome of great distinction. His mastery of the baton is evidenced in this recording by the clarity of his orchestra and the well judged tempi that basically allows the score to conduct itself. Few conductors can come close to Krauss' understanding of Strauss' massive orchestra and how one can effectively make the individual voices, especially those of the singers, heard effectively without swamping all the other parts in an orgiastic ocean of sound. Karajan is one of them, and so is Böhm, but Krauss was the grand master of the Straussian band and how he manipulates them here is a testament to his greatness.

His cast of singers is brilliant too, with the late Austrian soprano Christel Goltz calling attention to her powerful and subtly characterized Salome. She neither has the missile-like authority of Birgit Nilsson nor the loony yet devastating characterization of Leonie Rysanek, but what she creates is a credible panther of the stage. She is never singing on bad taste, and her control is simply outstanding. Few other singers could boast the kind of musical and histrionic balance that she gives to this Salome. The rest of the singers are not starry names, save Julius Patzak's Herod, but all of them are hand-picked to deliver Krauss' exacting vision of Salome that while never excessive or flamboyant delivers the goods and gives us a document of Straussian conducting at its finest and most authentic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unassuming High Class
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2005
The VPO at its best, a constellation of experienced voices submerged in their characters and a conductor that shares with the performers an estilistic homogeneity which nowadays is rarely heard in opera performances. Oscar Wilde's plot is contemporary, rooted in Western idiosincrasy. Here we are spared two emasculating detours encountred in other approaches to Salomé: the mad house; the savage perverts. This Salomé means business, and that is splendid music and the finest psicology. The sound is great.I suggest reading the theater play first, as a libretto is lacking (except for minor differences, they are almost identical).This recording is a great experience in style, and a joy to the ear too.
