Opera's greatest love story, set to music of incomparable beauty, Tristan und Isolde represents one of the nineteenth century's most revolutionary scores.
Wagner's 1865 adaptation of a popularmedievallegend changed the course of musical history and opened the door to twentieth-century innovations. Inspired by an illicit passion of his own, Wagner filled this tale of a doomed romance with a sense ofdesperatelonging, conveyed by his blending of tonality, blurring of keys, and innovative use of repetitive leitmotifs.
This reprint of Richard Kleinmichel's authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel edition is ideal forrehearsals andperformances by students, amateurs, and professional vocalists, pianists, and conductors.
