This stunning disc includes the two long love duets from Act III of Siegfried and Act II of Tristan und Isolde (including a new "resolution" that was written into the latter from the Act III "Liebestod"). In Plácido Domingo and Deborah Voigt, Richard Wagner's characters find powerful, vulnerable, almost transcendental exponents. Domingo's voice, of course, is no longer in the freshest bloom of youth. But, if he is not the impossibly ideal 25-year-old Heldentenor about whom one fantasizes singing Siegfried, he brings an authority and sensitivity to the role that sweeps one away. Voigt, too, gets to the heart of the female characters, and sings Brünnhilde with such subtle vulnerability that her moments of powerful exclamation sound as if she is trying to convince herself of their truth. There is no bombast for bombast's sake, and the result is psychologically all the more true. Antonio Pappano, a conductor alive to every nuance of the singers' phrasing, brings a Mediterranean sensuousness to the score, and draws some remarkably luxurious sounds from the Royal Opera House band. The acoustic also gives a wonderful depth to the texture, and the brass especially sounds gorgeous. --Warwick Thompson

5 out of 5 stars Really a delightful album.......2007-01-20

When I bought this CD, I had been looking, in vain, for a certain Chicago Symphony recording, when this item popped up as a "people screwy enough to buy what you're looking for also bought this:" selection. Domingo, the Orchestra, and the music were all a plus, but I'd never really warmed up to Debby Voight. I took a flyer and ordered the CD anyway.

This album, in short, contains performances so beautiful as to make a stone weep!

Domingo, Voight, the Covent Garden Orchestra and Wagner are a sublime combination.

The sole drawback to this CD is EMI's goofy copy protection scheme. It can be defeated with only moderate effort, but does leave a bad taste in one's mouth as regards EMI releases.

Now quit reading these boring reviews, and buy this CD. You won't be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars Voices flowing on currents of sensuous emotion ..........2006-10-17

First of all it would be fair to tell you - putting any of my qualifications of the album under review here in clearer perspective - that I have a special fondness for the 'Barenboim Ring' in all of its aspects, but especially the music as conducted by Daniel Barenboim: the clear instrumental articulation and phrasing combined with the dramatic purposefulness and powerful, 'muscled' orchestral playing of the Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele in top form under maestro Barenboim is IMHO unbeatable. (I also believe his Tristan und Isolde is quite legitimate, and I think it is just beautiful - the same clear and purposefully dramatical playing, which I like.)

Now here we have something quite different!
Where Daniel Barenboim is intent on purposefully underlining the drama that is happening on stage in robust but clearly delineated, freshly articulated musical lines in all of the orchestral 'registers' - a Parthenon or Pantheon in music -, Antonio Pappano is intent on creating more of what I feel as a flowing, sensuous (or even sensual) (under)current of emotions on which the singers float along in flowing musical lines, their voices truly 'voicing' the emotional currents the orchestra expresses in 'one great, heaving voice' of its own. This more sensuous approach is as legitimate as any other, and maybe comes closest to what Wagner meant when he said his singers should sing his lines in a more Italian(ate) manner, with a more flowing legato. Indeed, Pappano and Placido Domingo are an ideal match in this respect, of course, as they both hail from Europe's southerly regions steeped in Italian operatic tradition.
And Deborah Voight matches excellently with Placido Domingo, I believe, both of them singing their legato lines with heroic, but at the same time sensually seductive, tones and in burnished colors. Quite different from, for example, Anne Evans' Brunnhilde and Siegfried Jerusalem's Siegfried in the 'Barenboim Ring', but maybe balm to the ears for those who want to hear his Wagner 'differently'.
Anyway, the sheer opulent beauty of tone is especially convincing (and seductive) in the duets/pieces from Tristan und Isolde, I think. But at the same time something strange happens on this recording with this more flowingly 'Italianate' approach under this conductor and with these singers: the harsher, darker, brooding sentiments (these lovers are destined to die!) are downplayed somewhat, it seems - at least to the ears of this particular listener.

This album is for pure, sensuous listening pleasure, bringing Wagner in more refined shades of color and with finer orchestral nuances of light and shadow than we have come used to in Wagner, maybe. This is also result of the recording as such, which blends the orchestral colors nicely together in a warm and sonorous soundstage.
Together with the later album of Antonio Pappano and Placido Domingo, 'Scenes from the Ring', this is a magnificent way to sample a 'different Wagner', bathing in 'warmer lights from the South'. Wagner could only love it, couldn't he? Anyway, this album - together with its 'Scenes from the Ring' counterpart - is highly recommended, and certainly invaluable for those, like I myself, who love Domingo in Wagner.

5 out of 5 stars Made me like Wagner.......2006-07-05

Before I bought this CD, I didn't care much for Wagner. But after listening to these two extraordinary artists sing these entrancing duets, I must say that I have a new found respect and fondness for Wagner's music. Placido Domingo isn't a singer that most people associate with Wagnerian roles, and alot of people scoff at the idea of him singing such roles. But on this CD, his voice is absolutely entrancing, especially in the duet from Tristan und Isolde. Even though he is getting up there in years, his voice is still utterly beautful. His high notes are still strong and powerful and lovely, his interpretations are superb. Deborah Voigt, the up and coming Wagnerian/Strauss Soprano, is very powerful and strong in her singing here, yet she's also very ladylike. Not having an overwhelming, imposing voice that alot of the dramatic sopranos have, but still having the strenght, stamina, and authority in her voice to sing these grand roles. I guess what I'm trying to say is that she's a well-balanced singer. Not to mention that her voice is very very lovely and pretty, having a golden timbre, and a fluttery vibrato, which I love in a singer. The orchestra, in my opinion, is probably one of the Top 5 best orchestras I've ever heard. Absolutely gorgeous playing. An added bonus is the Mezzo-Soprano Violetta Urmano in the role of Brangane. I had never heard of her before I bought this CD, but she has a delicious voice, with a very rich quality to it. Even though she is a Mezzo, I would like to hear her sing the role of Isolde sometime. She has the perfect voice for it. This would be a good CD to give someone to introduce them to Wagner. It is lovely in every way.

5 out of 5 stars Less Heavy Wagner Pure Soul.......2005-05-07

Placido Domingo, now in his sixties, is not ready to call it quits. He has added Wagner into his repertoire, and in fact has sung (on stage and record) the Wagner heroes of Tannhauser, Lohengrin and Parsifal. In November this year, he will sing Parsifal at the LA Opera. Now, I personally think that he can sing Tristan, as he does here, in its entirety and it would be heavenly if he sang next to Deborah Voight's Isolde. However, all we have is this "concert version" for now. Domingo's voice has been criticized for not sounding "Wagnerian" in the traditional sense. So what ? He doesnt have that annoying "Bayreuth bark" and he is certainly no Jon Vickers, but he has integrity, discipline and soul. There is no doubt his mellow, flowing, gorgeous voice would make his heroes sound particularily spiritual, even if it lacks the intensity and vigor that other interpretors give to their Wagner characters. Perhaps Wagner didn't intend for his heroes to be too melodramatic. They are all introspective, spiritual seekers, all on quests to find something greater than themselves or searching for redemption. Tristan is without a doubt the most challenging and difficult role for a dramatic tenor, just as Isolde is the most difficult part for a dramatic soprano. This is because it seems that to Wagner, Tristan and Isolde represented the Uberman and the Uberwoman, the heighest and most powerful form of male and female.

But Voigt and Domingo pull it off, simply out of their artistry and the relaxed vocal spirit that resonates between them. They are both great artists with a lot of admiration for each other and their voices are glorious. Please don't be put off by the fact their voices are "lighter" in the Wagnerian style. This is terrific music. Conductor Pappano makes a wonderful interpretation of Wagner's music, which he suffuses with tone color and sumptuous lyric lines linked together by the mystic "Tristan chord" which dominates the work. The Liebestod, wow. What more can be said ? Is it simply a musical orgasm or is it the transfiguration of Isolde from life to death, a great transformation of soul ? The music is sublime.

1 out of 5 stars Domingo .......2005-02-19

I am pretty sure Domingo's fans are over-excited with these reviews.Really, Domingo's voice is not suited for wagnerian drama, is an uneven, cold and boring voice. Indeed, these love duets are far from the "passionate" characters called Tristan and Siegfried.

            5 out of 5 stars Duel of the Tenor and the Baritone.......2005-11-19

            Placido Domingo was a big star in the RCA label and on this Golden Seal recording (the best) he is prominently featured in various operatic duets with baritone Sherill Milnes and in two duets with the beautiful soprano Katia Ricciarelli. Especially impressive are the duets between Milnes and Domingo, who were paired quite frequently for the magnitude of their combined voices. Sherill Milnes may be criticized for lacking enough character in his renditions of baritone roles but he could never be accused of singing with technical vocal brilliance. His loud, unsubtle voice was perfectly matched with the dramatic top of Domingo's tenor voice. In their duets, we get fiery, intense and furious duels for voice, each trying to beat the other, two alpha males in fearsome vocal combat. When Domingo sings with Ricciarelli, it is lovemaking! Their voices are rich, beautiful and colorfully textured.

            Excerpts from La Forza Del Destino: Domingo and Milnes sang a sensational Forza for RCA opposite Leontyne Price. In this recording we are treated to their duets "Solenne in quest'ora" and "Invano Alvaro tu celaste al mondo", truly wonderful! Milnes and Domingo put down their vocal weapons and sing with luxurious abandonment in the more restrained, less tense duet from Bizet's Les Percheurs the ravishing "Au Fond Du Temple Saint". They once again resume the passionate duel of voices in the more dramatic duet in Ponchielli's La Gicanda. With Ricciarelli, he sings a romantic duet from the turn of the century opera Francesca Da Rimini, about the doomed adulterous lovers in Dante's Inferno. Their voices are beautifully meshed. Ricciarelli worked mostly with Jose Carreras, whose chemistry was stronger but I wish she had sung more recordings with Domingo (they would have made stunning Toscas, Trovatores, Madame Butterfly and Traviatas). The love scene at the end of Act 1 of Madama Butterfly is exceptionally sung. Their voices rise and fall with the tide of passion in the music. It's sublime. And this truly golden album culminates with perhaps the most thrilling tenor/baritone duet "The Oath Scene" from Otello "Giuro Per Mare" in which Otello and Iago swear to make justice for the supposed dishonor committed by Desdemona. Their voices are bombastic and inspirational, crowning this recording on a very high note.






            5 out of 5 stars Great duets sung by great voices........1999-09-22

            This CD contains some fabulous male singing! The duets for baritone & tenor are reason enogh to purchase this CD, because they were recorded when both men were in their prime (early 1970's). The male duets of Verdi, Bizet and Ponchielli are the jewels of that genre. For the price, you should definately snatch this CD for your collection.
