Richard Wagner - Tristan und Isolde: Act II -multi subs- 

Johanna Meier is magnificent - she makes Isolde sound so easy. Lyrical with enough power at the top. Beautiful round sound. Ideal - and she looks like a Nordic Princess! She has been too easily forgotten..........

most trascendent music ever written ...

King Marke's aria is one of the most beautiful arias, very touching, here beautifully sang and acted by Matti Salminen.

GOD!!!!! WHAT AN OPERA, JUST LISTEN THIS POWER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

The dramatic tension created by Wagner is almost unbearable-yet, we endure because we sense the naked profundity of it all.

Nie nie im Leben kann ich diese Tristan vergessen unerreicht ,höchste Lust

Thank you, Gaston, for uploading this stunningly clear and beautifully recorded Act from Tristan and Isolde!! ❤️❤️ 🎶

Diese Partitur....bis zum heutigen Tag ein Mirakel❤❤❤

Formidable musique. Tristan & Isolde, le Ring et Parsifal, trio gagnant du Grand Richard Wagner

The end of this act is one of the most devastating I know of. We all know how it feels to have (been) betrayed and how you just want to disappear (when it all comes out)... "Wehr dich, Melot!" - or desperately plunge into death. I know of no other example of theatre where this conflict is shown as brutally honestly. Othello maybe. I cannot watch / listen to this without being in pain. Wagner was and is incredible.

Thank you very much! You make the world a better place. The more the better

unashamedly passionate!

After Martha Mödl is Johanna Meier my favorite Isolde, she has got such a gleaming and youthful voice which hits the role in a wonderful way. The production is beautiful to watch at.

stunning thank you

sublime!!!

Schwarz and Kollo are unbelievable.

Thank you......from Greece

sublime

Oh it's Barenboim-Ponnelle, I think-so Johanna Meier is Isolde; Hanna Schwarz, Brangäne; René Kollo, Tristan; Hermann Becht, Kurwenal; Matti Salminen, König Marke; Robert Schunk, Melot; Helmut Pampuch, Hirte; MartinEgel , Steuermann

amazing

Now that’s the way it should look!

33:05 - love duet - O sink herrieder, Nacht der Liebe

La mejor parte empieza en 38:40

48:40: So sturben wir, um ungetrennt

tante grazie

I remember being at this video lab at Carnegie Mellon in like 99 or 2000. Someone else was playing this version in their cubicle. Somehow i was mesmerized .... visually... which seems weird... but maybe not really

Questa musica è diretta emanazione dell’Assoluto ❤️

absolutely alive, resolutely deadly

Brasil música Boa !

Es ist manchmal unfassbar, an welchen Stellen immer die Werbung reingeknallt wird. Ich denke, dies ist eine Inszenierung, in der sich die Sänger sichtlich (hörbar) wohl fühlen; es ist vielleicht ein Beispiel dafür, wie eine Inszenierung einer Oper sein soll, nämlich die physiologischen Bedingungen des Gesangs zu berücksichtigen - ja, sie sogar ins Zentrum zu rücken, so dass sich ein Organisches von Bühnenbild, Handlung und Gesang (Musik) entfalten kann.

The Singers' names! Honour their immense work, at least with recognizing them. Matti Salminnen, and ?? Not to mention the director...one of the truest moments I've seen is 32:34, beautiful understanding..and this is one of my roles..!

sodelicious............

The last chord at 1:22:54 - Rachmaninov used the same chord with the exact same orchestration for the beginning of the 3rd movement of his 3rd piano concerto; does anyone know whether he did this on purpose?

Who are the other singers in the cast? (Besides Salminen as King Marke, I mean.)

13:27 cáustico!

Why did they turn the lights out? :(

This was a good production; however, I believe that the 1995 Bayreuth production by Heiner Müller had more "energy" in it. For example, compare this video's "Liebestod" with the 1995 version sung by Waltraud Meier (Isolde). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OAEkTK6aKUM.html

2:02 Forza French horns !

Who are the conductor orchestra and singers?

Where was this recorded?

Qué mas se puede decir de esta obra? Creo que ya se ha hablado mucho de esta obra maestra e inmortal

Commercial interruption within the first few minutes…sacrilege.

Did people go hunting at night, in mythic times?

Who is this Isolde? Thank you!

BEAUTIFUL.Not ugly as today with the awful Barrie Kosky and other sick pepole 😢

How it should be done.

And the cast is......? Besser spaet als nie.
