Description:

Birgit Nilsson and Wolfgang Windgassen, found here early in their collaboration, would go on to become one of the most iconic pairings in the history of Tristan und Isolde. This performance gives a tantalizing glimpse into the chemistry and vocal power that would define their partnership in years to come. Artur Rodzinski brings a broad, spacious pacing to the score and is well-supported by the orchestra of Maggio Musicale, which plays with remarkable precision and intensity.
