1 Description of Wagner: Tristan und IsoldeThis 1928 recording--with several cuts, particularly in the last act, which is cut in half--is a great curiosity. (As a bonus, the third CD, after the abbreviated last act, contains about 40 minutes of the last act in an excellent 1927 performance starring Walter Widdop and Gota Ljungberg and a brief but enlightening discussion of Wagner's leitmotifs and their uses by scholar Ernest Newman.) The two leads, Gunnar Graarud as Tristan and Nanny Larsen-Todsen as Isolde, are more lyric-voiced singers than we're used to in this music, and so the performance seems somehow more intimate (I doubt they would have been as effective in the theater as they are on this recording). Anny Helm is a thrilling Brangaene, and the others are good. Karl Elmendorff leads with both energy and warmth, and the voice-orchestra balance is surprisingly good. This set, is, of course, for specialists; those who want a great, complete Tristan should turn to either Flagstad (on EMI) or Nilsson (on Philips) as Isolde. --Robert LevineClassical CDs |
