Revelatory playing in the Royal Opera's Die Frau ohne Schatten

David Karlin, 14th March

Semyon Bychkov gave a reading of such clarity and quality that everything seemed obvious. In his hands, the orchestra was a precision instrument, and for Strauss fans, whether or not you like Claus Guth's staging, this production is a must-see.
