The Talk of the Town

A favorite Wagner performance from Darby Fegan

The 1966 Bayreuth Festival production of Tristan and Isolde, conducted by Karl Böhm provides Nilsson with the cast she truly deserved, including Wolfgang Windgassen, Christa Ludwig, Martti Talvela, and Eberhard Waechter.

This recording is justly renowned, as it captures everyone in peak form, including Böhm, who conducts with a heightened sense of urgency and momentum.
