By Anton Dermota, Herbert Alsen, and Maria Reining. By Richard Strauss. Classical. 2 listening CDs. Published by Naxos (NX.MYTO00306).

Richard Strauss' rarely recorded one act opera Daphne is based loosely on the eponymously named character from Ovid's Metamorphoses and was dedicated by Strauss to the conductor Karl Bohm. Considered legendary by many, this 1944 recording is finally re-issued featuring Bohm conducting the Vienna Philharmonic with singers Herbert Alsen, Maria Reining, Anton Dermota, Karl Friedrich during a time in history arguably not conducive for opera productions and all the more stirring for having occurred.
