Sena Jurinac

Conductor:
Herbert von Karajan

Background: During his first year as artistic director of the Salzburg Festival, it was almost a conscious policy on Herbert von Karajan's part to court comparison with famous predecessors. Karajan's production of Fidelio was staged in the Felsenreitschule and has something of the nature of an oratorio to it, a quality also evident on CD. Once again, the conductor showed great care in his choice of singers.As Leonore, Christel Goltz masters the tremendous challenges of the role in terms of its drama, agility and expression, while Giuseppe Zampieri's Florestan combines the anguished tone traditionally associated with the part with an Italian cantilena.
