When we turn to live recordings, we enter another world, one in which the performances have, on the whole, a greater consistency of thought and execution. That applies in spades to the famous Bayreuth set of 1966. Karl Böhm's swift, incandescent, very theatrical interpretation isn't to everyone's liking. Yet, for all the fast speeds, the charge of superficiality is misplaced. Böhm's direct, cogently thought through reading, in which tempo relationships, inner figures (as one might expect from a Mozart and Strauss specialist), and instrumental detail are all carefully exposed and related to each other, offers rich rewards. Expressive intensity is here married ideally to a transparency of texture. Above all, listen to the interplay between voice and orchestra, most notably in Isolde's Act 1 narration and Tristan's Act 3 deliriums. There are moments at the end of Act 1 and in the heat of the love duet when Böhm gets so carried away that his singers have almost to gabble, but they are a small price to pay for such immediacy of feeling.
As Isolde, Nilsson outsings all her rivals, Flagstad apart. The gleaming tone, the fearless attack (high As, Bs and even Cs come easily to this Isolde), the unflagging stamina of the performance are things to marvel at, but the interpretation is also astonishing, the anger, scorn and irony of Act 1, the sensuality of Act 2, the transfiguration of the Liebestod (begun with a lovely, soft-grained line) all unerringly achieved. Warmer Isoldes there may be; few are so proud and impassioned.
Windgassen's Tristan isn't vocally in his partner's class and starts in distinctly dry fashion, but the tenor understands the role like few others. His reply to Marke at the end of Act 2 is heartrending and he brings an inner conviction to Act 3, sung in plangent tones, that means so much more than extrovert gestures. Indeed, Act 3 is the suitable climax to the reading with the orchestra excelling itself, strings, wind and bass alike, all finely balanced by Böhm, and Nilsson in the context of a live performance -surpassing herself in emotion during Isolde's lament over Tristan's dead body.
Ludwig's Brangäne, so much more affecting here than for Karajan, is a perfect foil to Nilsson's Isolde, concerned, eloquent, using the text and line to portray all her variety of feelings. Talvela is a more youthful, virile Marke than some, which makes his collapse near the end of his long monologue the more moving. The enormous voice manages to project a profound melancholy. Waechter, forthright, big-boned, is among the best of Kurwenals, Schreier a prince among Sailors, Wohlfahrt a touching Shepherd. One notices again and again how Wieland Wagner (the producer) and Böhm between them get the German-speaking cast to enunciate throughout with meaning and clarity.–Gramophone
