As it is very hard to match Karajan's Parsifal in music making terms,it is not easy to bypass music of Boehm/Nilsson/Windgassen Tristan dated 1966.In this wonderful DVD we have an excellent orchestra by Baremboim with a wet creamy grandeur which he does not acchieve for instance in Bruckner.Of course J.Meier is not B.Nilsson,but she works. And R. Kollo is also well placed,without his unpleasent trebles,since Tristan is not exactly bel canto.Of course there are some boring moments at Act 3,due to ... Read More

Having heard and read so much praise I expected much more from the Ponnelle/Barenboim "Tristan und Isolde" from the Bayreuth Festival of 1981.

Johanna Meier's Isolde brings to mind the famous story of Melba's Brunnhilde, her lovely sound inaudible beyond the front rows. Meier's sound is probably less lovely and more audible than Melba's. Hers is a warm, slightly fluttery, lyric voice. She sings accurately and with appealing legato. But she's a fragile waif against a surging orchestra, incapable of showing Isolde's pride, anger, passion, ecstasy. Rene Kollo is more convincing as Tristan. He doesn't sound heroic. But Tristan's not that heroic ... Read More

This is one of those productions that might be better without the video. Although I find no fault with the singing and conducting, the staging and scenery seem to be more about expressing the director's ego than about the opera.
