RecommendedTeresa Stratas (Salome), Bernd Weikl (Jochanaan), Astrid Varnay (Herodias), Hans Beirer (Herodes), Wieslaw Ochman (Narraboth), Hanna Schwarz (Ein Page)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm
Stratas's sinuous child-woman comes close to the ideal in Friedrich's glitzy but unnerving film, strongly cast throughout and superbly conducted. — More…

Lehár: Der Zarewitsch
Wieslaw Ochmann, Teresa Stratas, Birke Bruck, Harald Juhnke, Paul Esser & Lukas Amman
Symphonie-Orchester Kurt Graunke, Willy Mattes
Zarewitsch rhymes with 'Slavic kitsch'. Lehár's inconsequential piece of fluff about the romance between the heir to the throne and a Circassian dancer enjoys classy casting. — More…

Prokofiev - Peter and the Wolf
Roberto Benigni, Narrated by Sting
Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Claudio Abbado
Despite its lively Spitting Image puppets, and Complicité actors, this often charming film can't quite match the genius of Suzy Templeton's darker animation (Arthaus). But Abbado's soundtrack... — More…
