Richard Wagner’s major contribution to musical romanticism recorded live at the Vienna State Opera.

Although the premiere of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde on 10 June 1865 took place not at the Vienna State Opera but at Munich’s Court Theatre, it has subsequently been performed more than 400 times at Vienna’s House on the Ring since its first performance there in 1883.

This live recording from June 2013 under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst features Nina Stemme as Isolde (making her debut in the role at the Vienna State Opera), Peter Seiffert as Tristan (who was honoured with the title 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-CD set was first released in 2019 (and quickly sold out) as part of the 150 Years of the Wiener Staastoper – The Anniversary Edition (C980120).
