Strauss: Scenes from:

The superb Ms. Brewer commands attention in a Straussian feast of operatic opulence (to be recorded by Telarc), including: the great drama and unforgettable lyricism of the “Elektra” scene; the passionate duet with the formidable Mr. Owens in “Barak”; and the beautiful Moonlight scene from Strauss’s final opera.
