About

It is a pity that one of the most acclaimed recordings of Rosenkavalier was only recorded as excerpts, but at over an hour, and including some of the absolute plums of scenes from the opera, it is rightly regarded as a gem among great recordings of Strauss’s music. Included are the Marchallin’s Act I monologue, the Presentation of the Rose, and naturally, the trio and final duet.

Reviews

impassioned and youthful sounding [Söderström] … sensuous charm exerted by singers … superlative recording … I was nearly consumed by the burning flames of eroticism that Silvio Varviso kindles in the first half of the prelude! ... This is, I am sure, the best recording and performance of the music selected we have had so far
