This week marks the 160th anniversary of the premiere of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, a work that radically transformed the trajectory of Western music. With its groundbreaking harmonic language and unrelenting emotional intensity, Tristan broke free from the tonal conventions of its time, paving the way for modernist composers like Schoenberg and Debussy. Its influence extended far beyond opera, reshaping the expressive possibilities of music and inspiring generations of artists across disciplines. To celebrate this landmark in music history, we’re offering 40% off all Tristan und Isolde recordings. Now is the perfect time to revisit—or discover—the opera that changed everything. |
