Review title: Nilsson - Oh please!
Product review: I've tried and I've tried - again and again and again........but Nilsson ruins this for me.Sure, her voice is powerful and one feels she's got the whole thing in control but she overpowers the whole opera. If vocal gymastics is your thing then you'll be well pleased with what's on offer here.For me, it's about the romance. I want to feel that the players show vulnerability, and a despair that's more....quiet. I want voices to crack, to not hit every high note, to be human. I love this opera and, in the famous Furtwangler version, the music and the voice complement eachother beautifully, increasingly merging until the great final release. It draws you in and its power is ultimately more understated.The Bohm set is exciting, of that there's no doubt. But it's relentless (and tiresome) in its showcasing of Nilsson. Tristan und Isolde will always be about the emotional experience of the whole thing; the absolute quality of the singers is secondary.
