So we die, to live unseparated
eternally united, without end
without awakening - without suffering
embraced namelessly in love
given entirely to ourselves
of love alone!
- Tristan and Isolde conjure up their boundless love, which shall outlast even death.
"No matter how often you play it, it remains a shock every time," says Sir Simon Rattle. For the BRSO principal conductor, this music by Wagner, in which every bar trembles and lurches until everything dissolves at the end, is a narcotic, an addictive drug. Together with the brilliant Lise Davidsen in her debut as Isolde - who was acclaimed not only at the Bavarian State Opera and the Bayreuth Festival - Rattle continues his series of concertante Wagner operas with the BRSO. Undoubtedly an eagerly awaited highlight of the still young concert season! ... more about the program
