The Blu-ray of Glyndebourne's acclaimed production of Nikolaus Lehnoff's Tristan und Isolde is a thought-provoking, evocative and introspective experience. Reinforced by Roland Aeschlimann's extraordinary set, a womb-like space through which the protagonists moved like gods.
Lehnoff's approach is supported with conductorJiří Bělohlávek's detailed replay of the score, where every change in texture is intricately displayed by the excellent London Philharmonic Orchestra. Stars Nina Stemme (Isolde) and Robert Gambill (Tristan) are joined by the superb René Pape as the betrayed King Marke and Bo Skovhus as Kurwenal. The HD recording of a production of unique intimacy, revealing the operatic music and drama from a fresh perspective.
