From Mike Richter:
The Bayerische Operhaus is intimately associated with the operas of Richard Strauss,
yet there is little documentation of that heritage. With this addition to the Audio
Encyclopedia, we are proud to provide a complete collection - with one notable
exception. The performance here of Capriccio from Salzburg is indispensable; no
Munich performance of comparable quality could be found.

All of the following, twenty essentially complete operas and three partial
recordings, are contained on a single CD-ROM. See below for audio clip descriptions. |

Clips with Descriptions
Lucia Poppsings Richard Strauss
The seventh volume of the Audio Encyclopedia surveys the operas of Richard
Strauss in live performances from Munich and Salzburg. Among the artists noted
for their performances of Strauss and heard largely in those venues was the
remarkable Lucia Popp. As early as 1964 and continuing until her final
performances, she was noted for her portrayal of such roles as Sophie, the
Marschallin and Arabella. The disc includes all of those and her Gräfin in
Capriccio. Of those, only her Sophie (as seen in the photo here) is
available on commercial recording.
These files are necessarily large and the sound quality is not as high as
one would like. But they are unique and they are honest representations of what
is on the CD-ROM.
Here is a bit of that Sophie in performance in 1973
under Carlos Kleiber with Claire Watson and Brigitte Fassbaender.
Her Arabella stands with any I know; see if you
concur in this portion of the end of Act I.
