Title: Most unromantic Tristan you hope never to see!
Product review: I bot this disc because I liked the tenor at the Met Live in HD at the cinema. While the conducting and singing are pretty good, the production has zero sex appeal and completely counters Wagner's music. In short I hated it. The Isolde is also a little lightweight vocally, although she wisely seldom pushes her voice beyond what it can do. Same goes for Robert Dean Smith, the Tristan. I'm told he was underpowered at the Met, which of course did not reveal itself in the telecast where tHe voice had to be miked.The BD is fine technically, both for video and sound.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
