The richness and intensity of Richard Strauss's masterful one-act opera, in Herbert Wernicke's compelling production, vividly portraxs the relentless pursuit and ecstatic realisation of vengeance. Linda Watson, as a merciless Elektra, joins Jane Henschel as Klytämnestra and Manuela Uhl as Chrysothemis to head a magnificent cast which sees commanding performances also from Albert Dohmen as Orest and René Kollo as Aegisth. The Munich Ohilharmonic, under the exquisite direction of Christian Thielemann, brialliantly captures the score's dual demands for overwhelming power and finely balanced delicacy throughout. Recorded in High Definition and true surround sound.
