Tristan und Isolde – Act II

Richard Wagner (1813–1883)


DESCRIPTION

Martha Mödl and Wolfgang Windgassen are captured at their peak in this concert performance of Act II from Tristan und Isolde. Mödl brings her distinctive vocal presence to Isolde, negotiating the role’s demands with assurance and abandon. She is well matched by Windgassen’s youthful heldentenor, whose singing combines clarity with expressive commitment.

Sir John Barbirolli draws finely shaded orchestral playing from the Hallé Orchestra, shaping the long lines of Wagner’s score with sensitivity and restraint.
