On Monday, I posted a video of the great Polish Contralto Ewa Podleś performing Klytemnestra's monologue "Ich habe keine guten Nächte" from Strauss' infamous opera Elektra.
Since then, I have received many messages from fans of the Contralto Corner asking for more examples of Contraltos performing the role.
So, for your viewing pleasure, I have assembled a selection of true Contralto performances. Most are taken from live performances, and one is a studio version accompanied by a piano reduction of the score.
I hope you enjoy them all!
