The legendary Salome Göta Ljunberg performs an extract from Strauss' Elektra facing Karin Branzell and Gertrud Kappel at the Old Met in 1932. Please enjoy this other historic document!
What an incredible clip from the MET's history. The earliest MET broadcast from which any recordings survive. Thankfully the recorder captured salient snippets of Kappel, Ljunberg and Branzell. And what superb conducting by Artur Bodanzky. Thanks so much for posting.
Thank you for posting! I wish someone would issue all these early Met bits on Cd.

Ljunberg sings gloriously with brilliant tone.
