If the programme sounds familiar, the reality is anything but. The first movement of Beethoven’s Sonata Op. 2 No. 3 emerges spacious and unhurried…The Op. 119 Bagatelles are an even greater revelation,... — More…

RecommendedTeresa Stratas (Salome), Bernd Weikl (Jochanaan), Astrid Varnay (Herodias), Hans Beirer (Herodes), Wieslaw Ochman (Narraboth), Hanna Schwarz (Ein Page)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm

Bayreuth Festival, Philippe Jordan, Barrie Kosky
In Barrie Kosky’s spirited but uneven 2017 staging of Wagner’s comedy there are splurges of ideas…The performances of the cast are of a high standard dramatically and mostly musically. Volle... — More…Awards:

Olaf Bär, Eric Stocklossa, Stefan Margita, Heinz Zednik & John Mark Ainsley

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde
René Kollo, Johanna Meier, Matti Salminen, Hermann Becht & Hanna Schwarz
Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, Daniel Barenboim
For a supposedly 'difficult' opera, there's a fair choice of DVD Tristans… But this 1983 Bayreuth version, reappearing at last here on DVD, remains the finest. Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's staging... — More…
