Elektra
Was willst du? Seht docht, dort! ... Die Götter! bist doch selber eine Göttin ... Ich will nichts hören! ... Ich habe keine guten Nächte ... Wenn das rechte Blutopfer uterm Beile fällt ... Was bluten muss? ... Ach! Lichter!
Klytämnestra - Jean Madeira
Elektra - Inge Borkh

Schleppenträgerin - Karol Loraine
Wiener Philarmoniker
Dimitri Mitropoulos, conductor
Felsenreitschule, August 7, 1957
The most electrifying Klytemnestra ever! Her voice is so colourful and rich and her interpretation is majestic.The complex character is evil, sadistic, paranoid, murderer but also extremely vulnerable and Mrs Madeira delivers the whole package with perfection
No comments??? Figures.
In 2018 very few people “get” this supreme, electrifying, technically thrilling artist. She’s still living, and just celebrated her 97th birthday.
It's due to the recorded legacy being so thin I suppose. I think there is a video of her on an American tape and a French LP of her in Falla which obviously suits her voice. But where is Mahler and Brahms?

Apart from a hard to find LP (France) of Mme Madeira singing Falla I think she is terribly under recorded. Surely the role of Klymtenastra on DG under Bohm can't have been her only studio recording? Is there any Mahler or Brahms? The Bohm Elektra is the one I have but for sheer excitement this must be superior. Will look it up. Many thanks for uploading.
She is of course Erda in the Solti Rheingold, and I think there is a studio recording if some Carmen excerpts with Dervaux. Of live performances, I would highly recommend her Amneris with Kubelik in a 1955 production of Aida. Both her and Rysanek flub their famous high notes (in the Judgement scene and "O Patria mia" respectively) pretty terribly, but so much fire otherwise!
@@rossmerchant8435 That Carmen conducted by Dervaux is the whole opera. But I agree, she is underrated!
There is also a 1949 Met Opera Madama Butterfly recording (I believe this is a studio recording) with her singing Suzuki.
@@rossmerchant8435 Yes, I forgot that Erda!
