Wilhelm Furtwängler's early 1950s
studio recording of Wagner's Tristan and
Isolde on EMI / Columbia remains one of
the finest on the market.
Less well-known is this live recording
from Berlin, 1947, arguably offering a
better conducted performance from the
baton-wielding maestro.
Unfortunately, Act I is lost.
This release, re-mastered from the
original masters of Act II and III in
very good sound, all adds up to a very
precious document indeed!
Starring Ludwig Suthaus as Tristan and
Erna Schlüter, a renowned Elektra who
also sang Mozart, Beethoven and Verdi,
as Isolde.
