Glyndebourne's celebrated production of NikoIaus Lehnhoff's Tristan Und Isolde is a supremely intelligent achievement; gravely beautiful, haunting and meditative, it is deepIy refIective rather than visceral, fortified by RoIand AeschIimann's stunningly effective set, a womb Iike space through which the protagonists move Iike gods. Conductor Jiri BeIohIavek mirrors Lehnhoff's approach in his sophisticated reading of the score's depths, with every shift in texture carefulIy Iaid bare by an inspired London PhiIharmonic Orchestra. Nina Stemme's Isolde and Robert GambiII's Tristan - both gIoriously Iyrical - are matched by superb performances from Rene Pape as the betrayed and vulnerabIe 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 light. |
