Editorial Review:
Description:
Glyndebourne's celebrated production of Nikolaus Lehnhoff's Tristan und Isolde is gravely beautiful, haunting and meditative. Nina Stemme's Isolde and Robert Gambill's Tristan are matched by a superb performancce from Rene Pape.

Upon watching this production of Tristan und Isolde, I immediately fell into this kind of avant-garde world which is really psychological. The first impression was that of a feeling of pathos, as we entered into Isolde's minds and thought just based on Stemme's look on her face.

I did not fall asleep, I remained ... Read More

This the the third Tristan to appear this year, not too long after the Met's DVD issue. As usual all of these have something very strong going for them,and for fully committed Wagnerians like myself, we take all three and know I will view them repeatedly.
The Glyndebourne production,minimal, is my choice, as it has the capital virtue of not introducing the distracting gimmicks we find in Bayreuth, where Isolde's train in Act 1 is absurd, and the end is controversial. In Barcelona the sets are rather ... Read More

After getting the video of the Ponnelle/Barenboim/Johanna Meier "Tristan und Isolde" which was delisted many years ago, and while I was waiting for it to come out on DVD cleaned up with a better quality of sound, I bought other versions. For my taste, I found them all substandard (see my review of the aforementioned "Tristan"). Then it was issued as a DVD and judging from the many positive reviews most people found it as excellent a production as I did.
Now there is an embarasse de richesse ... Read More
