Yesterday's walk:
and today:
Ok, here's another suggestion: Die Tote Stadt (Korngold) Disappeared from the repertory for decades, but is gradually finding its way back in again. I have the old Leinsdorf recording with Carol Neblett and Rene Kollo, although I'm not sure if it's still in print:Originally Posted by Clayton
Klaus Florian Vogt may be the best ever in the role of Paul:

Elena Souliotis short but brilliant career is so inspiring, she is the closest of any singer to capture the spirit of Callas. Recently acuired this CD collection at Amazon USA......

A beautiful recording.
And meets my vital criteria for Tristan.
Each act complete on its own cd.
Interesting cast - How does Rene Kollo do? Tristan is as tough as it gets.

I like Kollo, though I know that he seems to be not very well-regarded.

It's supposed to rain all day, so no walk today.
Lots of time to listen to a recording DA recommended:

His Parsifal is on my wish list.
On Kleibers Tritan. Kollo does ok as its a studio recording. Sings with much feeling even though his voice lacks a little heft. I happen to like Kollo so its not a problem for me.
Price is a little smallish of voice but gives a very touching performance.
Recording and orchestra are superb.

Enjoying very much Handel operas. I think my next purchase may be Alan Curtis box set, currently GBP 35 at Presto Classical. For 6 operas, that makes each opera... err... a good price.
