Price's sense of the meaning of things here is so precise and beautifully realized in her singing

All of the bravos for this recording are true and therefore to the point.

Probably the best overall Tristan

First off, to respond to previous reviews.

4 1/2 **** -- a triumph for Kleiber

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts in this recording of \"Tristan und Isolde,\" and that that is the case is due mainly to the superb direction of Carlos Kleiber.

Unfortunate product of the early 1980s... yet well worth a listen.

If you want to hear Tristan as intended by the composer, this would not be a good first choice.

Predominately lyrical but still highly dramatic and moving

I think that in order to avoid getting bogged down in debate over whether singers such as Margaret Price have any business singing a role which they would not - and indeed, in her case never did - attempt on stage, this recording is best viewed as a product of the recording studio rather than an attempt to replicate a live performance, and devised in order to enshrine the conception of a great conductor making the best of the resources available to him.

Flawed conductorial masterpiece

In nearly all modern recordings of Tristan, the central \"characters\" are the conductor and orchestra.

24 October 2012

The Greatest Tone Poem Ever?

Keliber's performance of Tristan und Isolde is one of even his greatest triumphs and one of the great recordings in all music.

Desert Island Tristan

While I love the classic, critically acclaimed recordings by Furtwangler and Bohm, if I had to choose only one recording of this opera, it would be this one.

"In your arms devoted to you.....freed from the misery of waking!"

Richard Wagner is my all-time favorite opera composer.
