Richard Wagner // Tristan und Isolde: Prelude & Liebestod // Yuri Simonov, conductor

Tristan und Isolde was composed between 1857 and 1859, and is considered a watershed that represents a full culmination of 19th-century musical and dramatic Romanticism as well as a turning point in harmony, extending the boundaries of tonality – and, for some critics of the era, decency, for Wagner’s music left little to the imagination. Wagner’s concert extract for orchestra combines the opening prelude of the opera with the “Liebestod”, the final scene in which Isolde sees her lover finding eternal life in death. This classic recording features Yuri Simonov conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra. 🎶 Add to your streaming library: https://musicalconcepts.net/recording... 🔔 Like and subscribe for more classical music discoveries 📷 Liebestod - August Spieß Follow Musical Concepts:   / musicalconcepts     / musical.concepts   https://musicalconcepts.net #ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #wagner
