Finnish soprano Karita Mattila sings one of the most climactic readings of the finale of Richard Strauss' Salome, "Ach, ich habe deine Mund geküsst".
Herodes is sung by Siegfried Jerusalem and the conductor is Valery Gergiev.

(Metropolitan Opera, 2004)

  • How/Where did you get this recording? Was this by any chance related to the telecast that later got scrapped for financial reasons?

  • Unfortunately it wasn't. I splitted this excerpt from the complete broadcast recording of the performance.

    The telecast is still a mystery for all of us ... I can't believe such a historic performance (it was one of the greatest successes of the Met in the last years) won't be released because of merely financial reasons ...

  • Saw her singing last night at the Met. truly daring and

    commanding and fabulous.

  • Having become almost numb from what now passes as great singing and artistry in some of the Met broadcasts,(sorry), I remember hearing this one back in '04 and being MESMERIZED by her singing. That wonderful feeling of experiencing something glorious. The voice, the singing, the interpretation...all spectacular. Her Salome is fantastic. She is an artist. Brava, diva.

  • I'd like to hear her in the Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire...I think she'd be ideal for this Masterpiece.
