Robert Markow writes in the American Record Guide: “The title role was taken by the Australian-American soprano Claire Primrose, whose opening “alleins” sent shivers of excitement through the hall. Here was a true Elektra voice, rich in nuance, emanating a sense of reserved power, capable of projecting to the back of the hall without force. In keeping with Lu’s lyrical approach, there was much beauty in Primrose’s delivery, yet no lack of power when needed, the gleaming high notes hurled forth with the ease and accuracy of a Nilsson.
…It is unlikely any house in Europe or America has mounted a better Elektra in recent years , and I felt privileged to be there.”
