Music reviews of Tristan Und Isolde
Music Review: My first opera CD
Rating: 5 Stars
Yes, this was my first complete opera CD. I had just listen to the prelude to the first act on TV and I guess I bite the bate! Of course I was overwhelmed by the power, length and complexity of this work but I was also incredibly attracted to the beauty and uniqueness of this opera. I now own several very important recordings of this opera and I have to admit I love them all, but this one might be the best all-around recording. Bohm's conducting is second to none, O.K. he is a little bit faster than average but exceptional in every aspect of his interpretation of the work. He conducts the orchestra like I would if I knew how to! Furtwangler and Karajan are great conductors of this work but they miss the beauty of some parts of the opera like the love duet in the second act: with Furtwangler is kind of boring (it drags a little), with karajan is not sensuous enough, but with Bohm is perfectly balanced and memorable. Nilsson is the best Isolde of them all. Her voice is able to make me forget that Modl or Flagstad even exist and they're really good! Nilsson is the only one able to sing "Mild und Leise" the way it should be sang. The only drawback is Windgassen's Tristan, not bad but I'd rather have Vickers on this recording. Vickers is Tristan. He was born to sing this role. His voice is enormous! It is robust and harmonious at the same time; he's the heldentenor real deal! Finally I would mention Ludwig's Brangane which is the finest on record. Only with some listening training was I able to identify who's Isolde and who's Brangane during the first act's duet. The recording itself was made in perfect conditions, only a few lucky ones were inside the opera house which has impressive acoustics. All acts were recorded live in different days so that the voices don't sound tired. This is the best sounding relevant Tristan! All in all, this is one of my most precious possessions. A fine relic of probably the most beautiful and important opera of all time. I'm sure Herr Wagner would be proud of it!!!
Description of Tristan Und Isolde
Recorded in performance, but one act at a time so that the principals could sing full-out, this is one of the most electrifying opera recordings of the stereo era. Birgit Nilsson blazes as Isolde, and Wolfgang Windgassen's Act-III evocation of the delusional Tristan is heart-wrenching. Karl B"hm inspires transcendent playing from the Bayreuth forces, and the sound is stunning. --Ted LibbeyGeneral CDs
