In addition, the quality of his writing for sopranos regularly shows their instruments off to maximum advantage. Sopranos have genuine cause to the grateful to him.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCollected here are some of Strauss’s greatest heroines – whether regal (the Marschallin in Rosenkavalier), demented (Salome and Elektra), or crafty (the Empress in Frau ohne Schatten). These highlights feature not only great solo scenes (the final scene of Salome, Elektra’s monologue) but also some sublime ensembles (Arabella, Ariadne auf Naxos, the closing scene of Rosenkavalier). The singers represent some of the leading Strauss sopranos of their day – Della Casa, Guede, Crespin, Söderström, Silja and, of course, Nilsson – as well as some of the great Strauss conductors: Solti, Böhm, Dohnányi. Many of the recordings were made by the Wiener Philharmoniker in one of Decca’s iconic recording venues, the Sofiensaal, over a period of some twenty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR STRAUSS\u003cbr\u003eArabella: Aber der Richtige, wenns einen gibt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeontyne Price\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(Ariadne)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa della Casa\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(Arabella)\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilde Gueden\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(Zdenka)\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003eSir Georg Solti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAriadne auf Naxos: Es ist alles vergebens … Es gibt ein Reich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarry McDaniel\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(Harlekin)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdita Gruberova\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Zerbinetta)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLondon Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSir Georg Solti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer Rosenkavalier: Mein Gott!
