Buy new: $23.98 / Used from: $10.00 Behrens is the perfect Salome, not to heavy, just heavy enough, ravishing. Jose van Dam is an incredible Jochanaan
|
 | Strauss - Feuersnot, opus 50 (Ein Singspiel in einem Akt) / Varady · Weikl · Fricke by Richard Strauss

 | Solti Strauss ~ Arabella / della Casa, Gueden, Dermota, London, Wiener Phil. by Lisa della Casa
Buy used from: $21.99 I like this recording. I'm not a huge fan of della Casa, her voice isnt controlled enough. And there aren't enough soaring/pianissimo moments in the duet between Gueden and della Casa.
