| As Brünnhilde und Siegfried |
We have only a few days left to hear the Tristan und Isolde from the BBC Scottish Symphony
Orchestra on BBC Radio 3. The BBC SSO recorded each act separately and
this is how the BBC is sharing it with us. The links for each act are below. From what I've read (and heard) so far, Acts 1 and 2 are don't-miss events.
There were cast changes over the course of the performances, most notably the title
characters are different in Act 3.
So the news is Nina Stemme's
Isolde. She recorded it quite a few years ago, so it's good to hear her current
take on it. Tristan is Ian Storey (he'll be singing the role next season at Washington National Opera) and he is news, too.
