Movie Reviews of Wagner: Tristan und Isolde
Movie Review: A devastating pronouncement!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tristan and Isolde is one of the most emblematic Operas ever made along the history of the Western music, because among other facts, carves in relief the impossibility to achieve the love as supreme bliss for a long time.
Tristan is the epitome of the noble, valorous, bold and courageous hero who suddenly finds himself literally trapped between his duty and his bliss, between the loyalty and his most intimate desires.
But also, there` s not other Opera that reveals with chilling reality these inner contradictions immersed into the human soul and those unexplored labyrinths of the human physique.
This version reflects and captures with magisterial precision this complex universe of never felt before feelings, the supreme bliss of love against the legal duty that should be kept before a superior authority.
The mesmerizing, original and fabulous stage illustrates and conveys us about this state of existential anguish and febrile desperation about these two lovers. The extraordinary participation of both principal figures - Waltrud Meier and Sigfried Jerusalem plus the enraptured spell of the Orchestra superbly conducted by Daniel Barenboim have become this recording a must have and one of the most treasured musical documents ever recorded.
Don't even doubt or hesitate about if you have to acquire or not this essential DVD. On the contrary, ask yourself if you can live without having it.
Summary of Wagner: Tristan und Isolde
The acclaimed 1995 Bayreuth production by Heiner M?ller, conducted by Daniel Barenboim with fire and sensitivity. Siegfried Jerusalem and Waltraud Meier were the Tristan and Isolde of choice throughout the decade, and were at the height of their interpretive powers. M?ller and stage designer Erich Wonder have compressed the monumental story into a clear and fascinating geometry of love, creating highly evocative spaces through projections of colors and forms. First DVD release of this memorable performance, in wide-screen format and 5.1 DTS Surround Sound. Staged by Heiner M?ller. Filmed in 1995 at the Bayreuth Festival Opera House.Art House & International DVD Video
