Antigonae (Antigone), written by Carl Orff, was first presented on 9 August 1949 under the direction of Ferenc Fricsay in the Felsenreitschule, Salzburg, Austria. Antigonae is in Orff's words a "musical setting" for the Greek tragedy by Sophocles of the same name. However, it functions as an opera. -Wikipedia.-

There are only two complete Die Frau ohne Schatten on the market. The Solti and the Sawallisch. It is fashionable to say that the Solti is the best. No, that is not true. Pascalnewman, a costumer from Amazon.com.
