Movie Reviews of Richard Wagner - Tristan und Isolde / Charbonnet, Forbis, Fujimura, Dohmen, Reiter, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Jordan, Py (Grand Theatre de Geneve 2005)
Movie Review: A headache inducing mess...
Summary: 2 Stars
This was easily one of the most frustrating DVDs I have come across. And of course it was not cheap either. The conducting was excellent, and the singers ranged from good (Charbonnet) to the so-so (Forbis). From an audio perspective it was a fairly representative of what we hear broadcast from major opera houses. Unfortunately we are not talking about CDs, and all I can say is that the artists' painstaking efforts were sabotaged by the bizarre video direction (and that's putting it kindly). Others have described the director's shenanigans better than I (Oh all the colors and camera jumping was enough to make one seasick). How bad was it? So bad that I could only watch it once...after shelling out big bucks! I don't mind something innovative and a fresh approach to a classic, but this was rediculous. I couldn't even tell much how the production fared. I gave it away to the book store without even asking for an exchange...
