Description
Glyndebourne's celebrated production of Nikolaus Lehnhoff's 'Tristan und Isolde' is a supremely intelligent achievement; gravely beautiful, haunting and meditative, it is deeply reflective rather than visceral, fortified by Roland Aeschlimann's stunningly effective set, a womb-like space through which the protagonists move like gods. Conductor Ji?©?¡ B?¼lohl?ívek mirrors Lehnhoff's approach in his sophisticated plumbing of the score's depths, with every shift in texture carefully laid bare by an inspired London Philharmonic Orchestra. Nina Stemme's 'Isolde' and Robert Gambill's 'Tristan', both gloriously lyrical, are matched by superb performances from Ren?® Pape as the betrayed and vulnerable 'King Marke' and Bo Skovhus as 'Kurwenal', deeply touching in his helpless devotion to Tristan. This High Definition recording of a production of uncommon intimacy reveals the opera's music and drama in a new light.
