Oh Leonie Leonie Rysanek why why did you have to leave us??? This video of Elektra is one of my most prized possessions ever. Varnay is also so amazing in it. Everything about it is divine.

This movie is awesome. Varnay is excellent...

Leonie was a miracle. I had the unbelievable luck of seeing her play chrysamthemus AND later, klytamnestra - this completes the three female leads wow

YEs.

Leonie Rysanek said "Yes, I could sing the role of Elektra. Once!" Well, she did, and we have it on film. She's amazing, Varnay's wonderful, the Fellini look of the movie is great. This thing is just a goddamn miracle.
The definitive Elektra!
I love this DVD and have watched it so many times I could not count them. This scene and the final one contain some of the most delicious music ever and Leonie Rysanek is incredible. Richard Strauss was a genius and Bohm's arrangement is truly wonderful.
Congratulations on uploading this, Onegin65, and spreading the word! :o)
