Karl Böhm, Salzburg 1969
The magnificent Marschallin of Christa Ludwig and the Octavian of the shamefully underappreciated Tatiana Troyanos, both at the height of their powers, ably matched by the inigmatic Sophie of Edith Mathis.
The final trio alone is worth the price.
Theo Adam is, as always, rock solid, though perhaps not the final word in this role.
Bohm conducts with his accustomed authority. --Amazon customer
