Awards and reviews
Proms 2008
Avoiding the claws of a Solti, Sawallisch's interpretation of Strauss's shocking tragedy has clarity and pace. Marton is best seen as well as heard on the Abbado DVD, but she's a committed Elektra.
2010 edition
Marjana Lipovsek's Klytamnestra is among the finest on record, and Cheryl Studer as Chrysothemis, well contrasted in bright clarity, has wonderful moments, notably in her solo after the murders.
