The prominence of the orchestral playing – and what playing from the Vienna Philharmonic – is explained by producer John Culshaw as being very clearly indicated in the score by Wagner when he wanted the orchestra to engulf the voices. The substantial scenes from all three acts – here expertly extracted from an opera that is hard to ‘excerpt’ at the best of times – are bonused with two brief rehearsal extracts from the recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_CS_WORLD_7169b53a-dbe6-4c81-930b-be7f7575534e_480x480.png?v=1597936904\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Nilsson’s gleaming voice was in its prime in 1960 and she sings Isolde with tireless concentration and an appreciable feeling for the various aspects of the part—frustration and revenge in Act 1, love’s delirium in Act 2 and the elevation of the Liebestod’ Gramophone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘knife-edged dramatic tension … Birgit Nilsson responds superbly to Solti’s direction … Fritz Uhl is a really musical Heldentenor… the Kurwenal of Tom Krause and the King Marke of Arnold van Mill are both excellent … The production has the usual Decca\/Culshaw imaginative touch, and the recording matches brilliance and clarity with satisfying coordination and richness’ *** Penguin Guide to Opera on Compact Discs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRICHARD WAGNER\u003cbr\u003eTristan und Isolde (highlights)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEinleitung (Prelude)\u003cbr\u003eHerrn Trisstan bringe meinen Gruss\u003cbr\u003eO sink hernieder, Nacht der Liebe\u003cbr\u003eEinsam wachend in der Nacht\u003cbr\u003eUnsre Liebe?
