Tristan und Isolde - Runnicles
Richard Wagner (1813-1883) John Treleaven - Christine Brewer-Dagmar Pecková Boaz Daniel - Peter Rose- Jared Holt Apollo Voices BBC Symphony Orchestra dir: Donald Runnicles Warner Classics (2006) 2564629642 4 CD DDD (excellent sound) Rec. live at the Barbican Hall, December 2002 / February 2003 [flac & cue; cover, inlays, booklet & disc scans] Review "Christine Brewer may not be a household name even among committed Wagnerians...yet...but her careful, thoughtful emergence into the impossibly difficult role of Isolde in TRISTAN UND ISOLDE is well documented in this release of the entire opera, a recording dating back to concert performances from 2002 with Donald Runnicles conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra. For this listener the release of Brewer's complete Isolde is a bit early as hearing her transform herself into owning the role has produced a far greater Isolde than that committed to this recording.

White blossoms scorched by the sun
[…] the Gamekeeper’s “Makes me feel uneasy / dubious and queasy”), the music gives up even more in shape and energy. There is no great singing. The late Eilene Hannan tries hard, but her mousy Rusalka is restricted in color and expression, and conventional to the point of lethality. One gets a point, and then it is made over and over. Rodney Macann‘s thin-toned Water Goblin takes up none of the slack. In this company, John Treleaven, the Prince, might have seemed to have a big future ahead. He is a limited actor, and his vocal production is not free and easy, but he phrases artfully. He alone makes a good case for the translation. Ann Howard, bringing some thrust and flair as Jezibaba, alone performs as though she is in a good production. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T0IEpIjNGU “I know you’re nothing but magic and will fade away, and be dispersed in the […]

Longborough, Moreton-in-Marsh Wagner’s opera of extremes is directed with striking simplicity, but John Treleaven’s tormented Tannhäuser grates on the ear Pilgrimage to Rome is a central part of Wagner’s early opera Tannhäuser, so there is something emblematic about this new production at Longborough, which in the last decade has established a magnetic pull for Wagner followers. The medieval tradition of the Minnesingers and their song contests certainly gives the context for music in which this audience could luxuriate, with conductor Anthony Negus once again demonstrating both his authority and profound sensibilities as an interpreter of Wagner. The orchestral playing was unfailingly good.Yet, for the uninitiated, this opera’s extreme fluctuations between orgiastically profane and sacred can be confusing. The anguish Wagner contrives for Tannhäuser, erstwhile doyen of troubadour Minnesingers and his vacillations between the sexual pleasure dome that is Venusberg, domain of his mistress, goddess of love, and a yearning for redemption […]
