When this recording of Der fliegende Hollander first appeared in 1968, Gramophone magazine declared it "as perfect as we have any right to demand". Otto Klemperer conceives the score on an epic scale, and Theo Adam, reaching deep into the heart of the world-weary Dutchman, meets his match in the young and incandescent Senta of Anja Silja.
