Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Interesting and rewarding opera.......1999-12-15

If you are wondering what Electra sounds like, well, it owes a lot to Gluck, but looks forward to Romanticism. The Swedish language is very singable and easy on the ears, the performance is very, very good, with the wonderful Drottningholm Orchestra on period instruments on top form. Try to get this before it's deleted, unfortunately these rarities don't last long.
