Music reviews of Wagner: Tristan und Isolde

Music Review: The supremacy of Furtwangler
Rating: 5 Stars

The great dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf herself said that Wilhelm Furtwängler was the greatest conductor who ever lived. The soprano quoted that Furtwängler knew how to make the music flow...that he made the music live. Yehudi Menuhin, the great Jewish violinist, praised Furtwangler as the one conductor who knew how to shape music into a fluid--a feat that Furtwangler could do so well without resorting into shaping static, solid phrases of music. Werner Tharichen, a long time timpanist of the Berlin Philharmonic, had this to say about Furtwangler. "One day I was sitting beside my timpani while a guest conductor was reheasing...Suddenly the sound changed. There was warmth and intensity as if everything were at stake. Astonished, I looked up from my score to seee if some new baton acrobatism had brought about this miracle. But it was still the same conductor. I looked at my colleagues. They were all staring at the door at the far end of the hall. There stood Furtwangler. His mere presence suffered to draw those sounds from the orchestra."

Imaginative...fluid, and lyrical. Sublime, passionate, erotic...rapture...these mere words fail to express the beauty that shrouds this recording of Tristan und Isolde. For many years, I have held out on this recording due to my thought that Karajan's Tristan was supreme over Furtwangler's. I was not mistakened, for stereo, Jon Vickers, Christa Ludwig, and a youthful Dernesch all made K's Tristan a wonder to behold. Then, I put this record back onto my player, and before I knew it I was enraptured by the sweet music flowing from Act II. Then I heard the dementia elucidated by the orchestra in Act III and lo and behold, I was seduced. Furtwangler really knew how to conduct Wagner's most passionate score, and without a doubt his Tristan is supreme over others in interpretation of music.

Kirsten Flagstad sings Isolde in this recording. She has distilled this Isolde from the many years she has performed it, and it is indeed a golden one. It may sound matronly at first, but you tend to overlook this once you are swept away by Furtwangler's greatness. No one phrases Isolde the way she does, and no one is as musical either. This is an Isolde of perfect pitch and tenderness and lyricism. Augment that to her enormous voice and you have the perfect Wagnerian singer. Ludwig Suthaus is an amazing heldentenor, one of the most beautiful voices to take on the role. Blanche Thebom, like a former reviewer said, is the perfect foil to Flagstad's outstanding Isolde, floating Brangäne's lyrical lines with a lithe, limber tone so fitting for the role. The young Fischer-Dieskau with his energetic vivacity and his lieder singer nuances complements the role of Kurwenal perfectly.

With more than 50 years behind it, this recording still takes first place as an essential Tristan.
