Premiered by Toscanini in December of 1905, this work was to cause a great controversy when an Italian musicologist later pointed out, in a serious and impartial pair of articles, over 50 instances of very close musical and dramatic correspondances with Strauss' Elektra (written in 1908 by a composer who had been given a vocal score of Cassandra three years before by Gnecchi). A gripping work which uses ancient Greek scales and modes, well worthy of this revival.
