Richard Wagner
Tristan und Isolde
Jon Vickers, Helga Dernesch, Karl Ridderbusch, Walter Berry, Bernd Weikl, Christa Ludwig, Peter Schreier, Martin Vantin
German Opera Chorus
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Herbert von Karajan
What can one say about this famous LP set of Karajan's version of 'Tristan und Isolde'? Very little. This set is generally considered THE recording of the opera. I regret to say that we don't go along with this endorsement as we find it a little too engineered and lacking in passion - however, we think that we are in the minority. Personally, we will always go for the Bayreuth Bohm recording - live. The cast on this set is excellent with a superb balance between the orchestra and singers. All the 'off stage' passages are so off stage as to be in another city - but they are highly effective.
Recorded: 1971/1972
Booklet contains a commentary and a libretto in German/English
EMI SLS 963
Stereo 5 LP's
Records manufactured in the UK in 1972
Condition:
Vinyl - Good, clean and unmarked.
Sleeves - Clean and unmarked but with some discolouration.
Book - Clean, unmarked and intact - some discolouration.
Box - Intact, clean and unmarked - some discolouration, scuffing and wear on edges.
Please remember
- owing to their weight, the postal charge for LP's is expensive.
- our records have always been handled with care and stored correctly. However as we are disposing of our entire record collection, time precludes us playing every single item to check whether there are any faults that are not apparent from a purely visual check. To avoid any dispute buyers should be aware that they buy our vinyl with the above proviso in mind.
