Richard Strauss's Salome is a music-drama in one act, based on Oscar Wilde's play of the same name, translated into German by Hedwig Lachmann.
In addition to conducting the Salome opera, Clemens Krauss also performs as a pianist for three songs by Richard Strauss, recorded in June 1940.
This recording of Richard Strauss's Salome is a live acetate private recording from London's Covent Garden on September 30, 1947.
The front cover of this album features Maria Cebotari, who performs the role of Salome in this recording.
Due to its nature as an acetate private recording, listeners should expect some heavy distortions in the sound quality.
