The performance is outstanding. Evelyn Herlitzius, a leading Elektra of our time, is a perfect Isolde, with plenty of power and a warmth usually not associated with the role. For me, the biggest surprise was Stephen Gould, who is a magnificent Tristan . . . he has it all together -- this is a Tristan to remember. The cast uniformly is strong, but perhaps the real stars are the conductor and orchestra. This is one of the most passionate readings I've ever heard . . .

  • Christian Thielemann Richard Wagner - Tristan und Isolde (Trailer)

    In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Tristan & Isolde this production was premiered on 25 July 2015 and marked the high-point of last year’s Bayreuth Festival. An important and highly-anticipated new production of Wagner's take on this ultimate, immortal tale of love and longing by the composer's great-granddaughter Katharina Wagner. Enjoy some of today's most prominent vocalists and Christian Thielemann, arguably the most important Wagner conductor of our day and age, on the first installment of an exclusive, multiyear partnership between Deutsche Grammophon and the Bayreuth Festival, in which the Yellow Label becomes the exclusive audiovisual partner of the mythical Wagner festival.
