Title: Not so hot Tristan und Isolde
Review: The major problem with this is Waltrude Meier as Isolde. She is essentially a mezzo and she sounds it in this production, with sad results, as she attempts the soprano heights the role demands at every turn of the page of the score. This is terrible, because Deborah Voight and Jane Eaglen are out there with the proper voices and are not recorded on Cd or DVD. The rest of this cast is OK, but it's tenth rate all the way, withtired out conducting of an underpowered orchestra.Buy Lohengrin with Eva Marton and Leonie Rysanek, and wait for the better manifestation of this masterpiece.
