Notes
Although the premiere in 1865 was not to be at Vienna State Opera but at Munich’s court theatre (June 10th), Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde was performed more than 400 times at the House on the Ring since its premier in 1883. This live recording from June 2013 under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst presents Nina Stemme as Isolde – her debut in that role at Vienna State Opera –, Peter Seiffert as Tristan (who was honoured Kammersänger of the Vienna State Opera the same month the recording was made), Jochen Schmeckenbecher as Kurwenal, Stephen Milling as König Marke and Janina Baechle as Brangäne. The 3 album set was first released in 2019 in the sold out 150 Years Wiener Staastoper – The Anniversary Edition (C980120).

Nominee in the Opera category
2023 ICMA Nominee
“… the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, which Franz Welser-Möst inspires to a passionately vibrant and lively playing. With a warm, full and exceedingly rich as well as impeccably conducted voice, Nina Stemme sings a captivating Isolde… he Peter Seiffert holds his own throughout the evening with remarkable power and excellent expressivity. Janina Baechle is a rather cool and rational Brangäne, Stephen Millings a very good Marke, and Jochen Schmeckenbechers an all in all impressive Kurwenal.” *****
