"This 1977 filmed version has many positives going for it, a stellar cast led by the charming and radiant Gundula Janowitz, superlative playing by the Wiener Philharmoniker led by the indefatigable Sir Georg Solti, one of the best Strauss conductors ever to grace the planet and above all, a production of luscious opulence fastidiously directed by the formidable Otto Schenk. The evocative setting and costumes are also a visual celebration".
