Tristan Und Isolde [CD]

On December 13, 1951, a now legendary performance of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde was given at La Scala in Milan, whose consistently outstanding cast continues to inspire to this day. At the time, Max Lorenz was considered the epitome of the Wagner tenor, while Gertrude Grob-Prandl's voice was like a natural phenomenon and Victor de Sabata confirmed his reputation as one of the best Wagner conductors ever. The originally very poor sound quality was carefully remastered by the Myto label in 2009. This edition makes the previously out-of-print recording available again on CD.
