Richard Wagner
Tristan und Isolde: Love Duet
Lohengrin: Bridal Chamber Scene
Kirsten Flagstad, Lauritz Melchior
San Francisco Opera Orchestra
RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra
Edwin McArthur
This LP contains a remarkable sound document of two Wagnererian singers who, in their time, dominated the opera stage. Flagstad is in stunning voice and Melchior is as solid as ever. The two duets couldn't be more different and both singers adjust their voices to capture the characters of each role. There is a delightful addition to the selection as Flagstad also sings the 'Brangäne's Warning'. The recording is very good - for its time - and McArthur's conducting is very acceptable, plus he manages to whip up the orchestra
for the finale of the 'Tristan' duet most effectively. A must for all Wagner fans.

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.
