Richard Wagner -- Tristan und Isolde (Prelude and Liebestod) -- Score

- It starts with a single chord. Not just any chord, but one that, ever since it was first played, has defied classification and description, to the point that it is an entirely unique progression, simply "the Tristan Chord". The opera continues as a massive act in harmonic suspension and chromatic writing. While the Ring Cycle usually considered Wagner's greatest work, if for nothing more than the sheer scale of it, Tristan und Isolde is likely his most innovative.
The ancient story of forbidden love between Isolde, who had been pledged to Marke of Cornwall, and Tristan, who had been commanded by Marke to bring his bride-to-be, likely resonated with Wagner, considering his own extramarital affairs with Mathilde Wesendonck and Cosima von Bulow. The duality between the courtly and the sensual, between duty and desire, was also reflected by Wagner's interest in the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, the gulf between wants and fulfillment, and the ultimate tragedy brought by uninhibited desire.
Musically, the opera was unlike anything before it, and so opinion at the time was sharply divided, either a work of genius, or work of madness. Subsequent composers either embraced Wagner's new musical ideas or actively rebelled against them. The opera took six years to finally get to the stage, mainly through the encouragement of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Even then it was considered almost impossible to perform, requiring too much endurance from its principles, an opinion only reinforced after the first Tristan, Ludwig Schnorr von Karlsfeld, suddenly died after performing the role only four times. It still has a daunting reputation among both musicians and audiences, but is certainly worth the effort.

The Liebestod is really the reason why this opera is so powerful and touching
I've always enjoyed the harmonics. I still need to sit down and listen to it all the way through. I'm sometimes bad about that.
The original video of Barenboim's performance has disappeared; thank you for preserving it in this upload!
It seems to have been made private, certainly a bummer.
@@SynchroScore and it looks like it's back now. huh.

Wagner was gifted to compose music. Such a pity he was a bad person (antisemitist).
He was one of the greatest artists who ever lived, and the parts of this opera on this video are proofs.
Yes, Wagner is quite a difficult person to deal with. While antisemitism was unfortunately not that uncommon in Europe at the time, even some of his friends were embarrassed by it. He was also a general egotist and could be quite pushy and insufferable, but there is no denying what he did for music.
Although I didn't really plan on it, the conductor and orchestra also enter into that discussion. Daniel Barenboim is Jewish, but has also recorded Wagner's music extensively, and even produced a year at Bayreuth. He opposes the ban on performing Wagner in Israel, but also doesn't support much of the government over there; he supports the Two-State Solution and is an honorary citizen of both Israel and Palestine.
The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra was founded by Barenboim and the Palestinian-American academic Edward Said, as an effort in cultural understanding. It is a youth academic orchestra, composed of musicians from both Israel and the Arab countries, playing together.
Pretty much every Romantic composer was anti-semitic to some extent, with some exceptions like Liszt, Brahms, obviously Mendelssohn, but for the most part, but people like chopin or Tschaikowski were not shy about their hatred

Weirdest score order I've ever seen. Makes it so difficult to follow...
Beautiful performance however
I'm not quite sure why you say that. I've compared it to other scores in my catalogue, and the only difference is that the horns are usually placed between the bassoons and the trumpets, and the bass clarinet is usually below the other clarinets.
@@SynchroScore Yes the horns are in the wrong place, as is the bass clarinet, as is the English horn. And that's just the first page. By the third page you have the strings on top with horns, bassoons and bass clarinet between the celli and contrabasses. I get that this was probably Wagner's preference to move things around and have them descend in order of pitch, but it's a mess from a trained score reader's perspective.
@@itznoxy7193 Yes, that is peculiar. Almost as if that bit was engraved upside-down. I couldn't say why it was done that way, or if Wagner intended that. The score used was published in 1912, so there is no way Wagner could have supervised it. Compare this to my video of Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" which uses the publisher's proof, with pencil corrections in the composer's hand.
