He explains I'm just amazed that he could have written it[Salome]. Every page has something that hadn't been done before, noteven by Wagner. Bitonality, whole tone scales, everything! Endlesslyvarying the leitmotifs so that they take on different meaning...remarkable, and such a lesson in the use of the orchestra... it's justsuperb... even if you have not heard a note of Strauss before you willbe swept along by the power of the music.Susan Bullock has previously performed Salome in the concert format andher performances in the role of Strauss's 'Elektra' have brought herinternational acclaim.
