Glyndebourne's celebrated production of NikoIaus Lehnhoff's Tristan Und Isolde is a supremeIy intelligent achievement; gravely beautiful, haunting and meditative, it is deepIy refIective rather than visceral, fortified by Roland Aeschlimann's stunningly effective set, a womb like space through which the protagonists move like gods. Conductor Jiri Belohlavek mirrors Lehnhoff's approach in his sophisticated reading of the score's depths, with every shift in texture carefuIly laid bare by an inspired London Philharmonic Orchestra. Nina Stemme's Isolde and Robert GambiIl's Tristan - both gIoriousIy Iyrical - are matched by superb performances from Rene Pape as the betrayed and vulnerable King Marke, Katarina Karneus as a sharp Barangane and Bo Skovhus as KurwenaI, deepIy touching in his helpless devotion to Tristan. This High Definition recording of a production of uncommon intimacy reveals the opera's music and drama in a new Iight. |
