About

This new recording from the Staatskapelle Weimar under Hansjorg Albrecht presents a rarely heard compilation of Richard Wagner’s themes from Tristan und Isolde, arranged for orchestra by Henk de Vlieger (b. 1953). This is Hansjorg Albrecht's follow-up Wagner recording to his album Der Ring Ohne Worte (OC1872). The Staatkapelle Weimar dates back to 1491, making it one of the oldest orchestras in the world, and one that is more than familiar with the works of Richard Wagner.

Albrecht’s players establish a magical silkiness in the Prelude, delicately reflect Isolde’s arousal after the horn call in Act II and create a hallucinatory momentum for the lovers’ mounting excitement until they are struck dumb by the arrival of King Mark.
