“[Solti's] overwhelming account of Strauss's Salome ... Nilsson 's account of the title role remains another towering monument to her tireless singing”
Penguin Guide

“Nilsson is splendid throughout; she is hard-edged as usual but, on that account, more convincingly wicked...Of this score Solti is a master. He has rarely sounded so abandoned in a recorded performance...Waechter makes a clear, young-sounding Jokanaan.”
