    The Philadelphia Orchestra: Charles Dutoit, Conductor; Eva Johansson, Soprano (Elektra); Melanie Diener, Soprano (Chrysothemis);
    Jane Henschel, Mezzo-soprano (Klytemnästra); Ain Anger, Bass (Orest); Siegfried Jerusalem, Tenor (Aegisth). Strauss Elektra (opera in concert)--first Philadelphia Orchestra performances. Strauss's scandalous retelling of Sophocles's Greek tragedy is imagined through an impossibly-demanding score for a large orchestra and a brave cast of daring singers. In 1909, and perhaps still today, this was the most progressive and daunting operatic work ever written. A century later these performances are the pinnacle of Maestro Dutoit's tenure.
