Elektra from l’ecole de Olive Middleton.
Had me wishing for Gabriele Schout.
Ms. Palmer, Dame or not, should be given an award for her astounding musical accuracy; I think there was one or two notes not exactly on pitch. An astounding feat.
Mo. Luisi is the singer’s best friend with this score as he actually makes it lyrical and sing and accompanies and supports the singers rather than brutalizes them. While I love Mitropoulos the best in this, this maestro is quite something.
Too bad they don’t have Richard Margison sing Aegisth, who did such a great job with Maazel last year.
I’m really glad now I caught Deborah Polaski’s Elektra after hearing this.
I thought Polaski was wickedly thrilling last year in the concert performance with Maazel and the Philharmonic; a pity, in a way, that the Met has to follow so soon with their Elektra. . .
