Yes, although I'd forgotten many of the plot points I must agree that Frau
ohne Schatten is remarkable.  Rarely has love ever been set so radiantly to
music as in the lead-in to Act I's Falcon Aria and the same acts concluding
watchman's trio.  Another Viennese recording of note is the old London (?)
with Leonie Rysanek as the Princess and (IIRC) Boehm conducting.  Magical.
