description
"Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchoir are archetypal Wagner performers, displaying not only the requisite heft to soar over a large orchestra but also abundant passion, understanding, and physical stamina, and this famous performance, recorded live at Covent Garden in 1936, is a thrilling monument to their artistry. The current dearth of Wagnerian singers has turned Tristan und Isolde into a conductor's opera, but despite the exciting and exacting leadership of Fritz Reiner, Flagstad and Melchoir hold center stage here. One is swept away as much by the beauty of their sound as by their ecstatic expressions of desire. Rarely has the second-act love duet been so intoxicatingKit is remarkable how much detail comes through, given the recording's ageKNaxos has done Wagnerites an immeasurable service by re-releasing this classic performance. It is a priceless document from a particularly resplendent era of Wagner interpretation." • Andrew Farach-Colton, Barnes & Noble
