The Operas of Strauss

The Bayerische Operhaus is intimately associated with the operas of Richard Strauss, yet there is little documentation of that heritage. With this addition to the Audio Encyclopedia, we are proud to provide a complete collection - with one notable exception. The performance here of Capriccio from Salzburg is indispensable; no Munich performance of comparable quality could be found.

All of the following - twenty essentially complete operas and three partial recordings - are contained on a single CD-ROM.
