Review title: Soon forgotten
Product review: Like most of the studio opera recordings of the recent past, this will soon be forgotten. It's ok, but rather pointless, both musically and economically. The essence of Tristan und Isolde cannot be captured in a studio. It is one of the few, if not the only opera that can only be experienced live in the opera house, where it just envelopes you and mesmerizes you. I remember after act 1 of the Jan 30, 1974 Met Tristan with Vickers and Nilsson, people walking around almost in a daze. It has that type of effect on one in a theater. In the recording studio it sounds artificial, even hokey.Get the Bohm/Bayreuth. And if you have ever heard the live Flagstad recordings, you'll know what I mean.
