Title: More, please!
Product review: I came across this disc a few times, and finally I bought it. I am stunned. Having abandoned Richard Strauss for several years (I consider myself lucky to have attended stellar performances in Munich, Berlin and Dresden), I felt it was time to get in touch with him again. This is my first record with Renee Fleming: her Marschallin is superb, as is the singing of Susan Graham and Barbara Bonney. I am especially fond of the Capriccio music, and I regret that there is a relatively new recording of the full opera with the VPO (with Kiri Te Kanawa as Graefin) - so it will be unlikely that DECCA will do another Capriccio with Renee Fleming (alas!). This record is surely one that wets the appetite of anyone who is interested to get into touch with Richard Strauss the opera composer.
