Tristan und Isolde

Richard Wagner (1813–1883)

DESCRIPTION

Berit Lindholm’s sterling soprano aptly conveys Isolde’s vengeful wrath in Act I as well as the tenderness and calm of the Act II love duet. Hans Beirer offers more dramatic heft than nuance, yet he merits recognition for the consistency of his legato singing even in the most demanding passages of this opera. Horst Stein draws notable dramatic flair from the players of the Vienna Philharmonic.
