Opera in three acts Libretto by HUGO VON HOFMANNSTHAL Music by Strauss
(sung in German): mono records Kleiber's deep understanding and control of the score, and his instinctive feeling for this part of the Viennese idiom, have still to be surpassed.... Jurinac 's definitive Octavian is the glory of the set. How gleaming yet warm in voice, how naturally impetuous and intense her manner.
