Title: Thanks for the "Heads Up"
Product review: I won't be purchasing this one..I have the Te Kanawa which wasportrayed in the period it was intended to have been written for as the Strauss family requested. The actual performances were done in more contemporary dress and time, but not the video. Knowing this was not done in a later video I would not purchase it since the family was opposed. They were ok with the actual opera being done in a modern setting, but not the video. Most of the composers are long since dead and we treat them as if they have no rights. Richard Strauss still has family that cares about his legacy of beautiful work and his feelings and theirs should be respected. Perhaps they agreed..in a 12 year time period maybe. (the Te Kanawa was 1993) I would not bet on it. Since there were other things that would keep me from purchasing it, like the final scene not being too great...why buy it? That was THE SCENE!
