…Bychkov trumps the competition spectacularly. He conducts the score uncut and summons up all its exultant power; but in addition to the growling savagery of Solti and others he finds rare warmth and glow. Felicity Palmer is an imperious Klytämnestra who really sings the notes. Anna Schwanewilms sounds appropriately feminine even in Chrysothemis's most demanding moments. ...this is a recording no one who cares about Strauss should be without.
