For my ears, the greatest of the great operas. Wagner’s finest work. Should be required listening material for anyone applying for recognition as a human being.

The most beautiful piece of love music exchanged between doomed lovers, until rodgers and Hammerstein foisted If I Loved You on us near the start of their fabled Carousel for Broadway audiences. But who are we to compare and contrast as the worlds, ages and audiences were so separated? Both are legends from their times, though, and I enjoy listening to both masterpieces, time and time again.

死別一聲哀嘆，歌韻蘊含悽酸，令人聞之動容。

Also people - you clap when the conductor's hands are down. not before.

The who was slept finally waked up due to the claps of the public...

The wobble is horrible.

[@erenoux8343]

bof, comme à Paris au dernier Tristan, Mme Urmana n'arrive pas à la cheville de Mmes Meier et Stemme.

[@didierbertrand1695]

pas bof... Je regrette mais il faut respecter l'interpretation de quiconque s'attaque à ce monument. Evidemment, Meier comme Nilsson sont inatteignables mais ce n'est pas une raison pour mépriser..
