Description
Sterling is releasing this stage recording of Richard Strauss's Elektra, which served as the farewell performance for esteemed Swedish Soprano Laila Andersson-Palme at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm. Siegfried Kohler conducted the Royal Swedish Opera, with Laila Andersson-Palme playing the part of the titular lead Elektra and supported by Swedish performers Gunilla Soderstrom, Aninta Soldh, Lennart Stregard, and Gunnar Lundberg.
"This recording is from your farewell performance at the Opera...
Yes, after the last chords of Elektra sounded out, two fully loaded carriages with flowers were rolled onto the stage. I was totally unprepared. Sallskapet Operavannena (The Friends of the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm) had written a variation on the well known children's song by Alice Tegner, Blasippan ut i backarna star (Blue anemones are groving on the hills) with "blasippan" (blue anemone) changed to "vitsippan" (white anemone) - and everyone, including the audience who had received the lyrics, stood up and sang while Hovkapellet played." Laila Andersson-Palme
