Strauss: Macbeth and Symphonia Domestica
Wiener Philharmoniker, Lorin Maazel
Aptly for its subject the sound for Macbeth is a degree more aggressive but comparably full and analytical, with a performance just as committed.

January 1985
Clearly the frisson of a live performance (which this is) has a lot to do with the sense of spontaneity and abandon that Maazel and the VPO engender […] DG’s recording helps too: one of their ripest.
