I saw this performance on PBS when it was televised nationwide live nearly 20 years ago. I have never forgotten it, and it is no less thrilling now. Behrens was the "Maria Callas of Wagnerians" in her acting/singing ability, and her performance here is stunning. My thanks to ezev8logos who posted this for us all to enjoy (again), because Behrens' visual acting ability was no less than her voice and so to appreciate her great talent fully, we need to see her, not just hear her.

Whoever you are, ezev8logos, you made my day with the whole Elektra. Unbelievable, always wanted the video. Have the sound for years. This Elektra is so electrifying, just as great as the Abbado Elektra with Marton from Vienna.
Thanks a zillion
