Too late for Vickers, who sings badly. He can't sustain the tone or volume, and sometimes the pitch, even in simple phrases. The sound fades in and out, with sudden shifts of volume where steadiness is needed. He cuts off notes too soon, as if he can't get to the end of them, and sometimes the voice is hardly there. Was he sick, exhausted, or just too old? Norman sounds good for the most part, though you can tell she lacks experience with the role. Too bad they didn't do this concert five years earlier.

Wow what a find. I did not know this was available. For a live recording the sound quality is really outstanding. This is certainly my favorite opera of all time, and musically I think few can doubt (now, in hindsight) that it was the greatest opera of the 20th century. Jessye Norman’s voice is unique. She was so versatile she could do mezzo roles like this without any problems, but had the full soprano upper range. And Fried’s voice here is strong and rich. (Boulez also did it in with Norman and Chicago in studio, which is a recording which I admire greatly, and also with Tataiana Troyanos, in another superlative version) RIP to all of them (Boulez, Troyanos, Norman). All were exceptionally great musicians.

I think Jessye Norman had one of the most unusual voices in classical music. Who else could be acclaimed equally for the Vier Letzte Lieder and the contralto part in Das Lied von der Erde. But I think this performance shows why Jessye would not have been able to make many soprano parts like Isolde, Brunnhilde, Elektra, even Salome and Fidelio which she recorded, work. I saw her many times during the 80's and the top of the voice was always problematic. Moreover, this Tristan really shows that there was very little ring or brilliance in her upper register, and that the top was not necessarily of the same size as the rest of the voice. In concert and recital it was always the endlessly long phrases in the middle and low that really impressed me. The top was always unpredictable. This performance also shows consistent intonation problems above the staff. Many of the pitches above top-staff G are out of tune. For many years I believed that Jessye was like Regina Resnik or Helga Dernesch, women who had started as sopranos and responded to a lowering event by shifting downward. I thought Jessye ignored her lowering event. Now I just think her voice was like a mountain, wide at the bottom and getting more and more narrow as it approaches the top. Crespin had a similar issue with the top without Jessye's lower extension. Nonetheless, this is an extremely musical and womanly performance, and it's wonderful to hear her in this repertoire.

Norman brought her usual spiritual organ like sound to this role. It is not terrible it just sounds like endless swelling and bellowing with the text just disappears under a haze of tone. Much of it is very beautiful if not prosaic. The Bluebeard here is just “Ok” also a bit too calm. It is a challenging opera to interpret vocally.

The latter was one of the most mesmerising experiences of my life. At the end, the Prommers presented her with a huge bouquet and him with Jeroboam of Champagne. He got the joke!

The recording has not been released to date. Apparently she did not approve of her performance and, as a result, the recording has been languishing in the record company’s vaults ever since, for close to 30 years.

This is truly an outstanding performance. Jon Vickers was still singing Tristan quite well in 1981, only about 10 years after first singing the role at the Teatro Colon (he would sing his last Tristans anywhere at Lyric Opera of Chicago in the fall of 1982) - and, while Jessye Norman never sang a full performance of this opera, she really opens up and matches Vickers artistically and vocally in Act II here. Gwendolyn Killebrew as Brangane and Aage Haugland as Konig Marke are also both in prime voice - and very good artistically, Seiji Ozawa and Boston? GREAT job. This performance beats the living daylights out of the Chicago Symphony/Barenboim concert performance of this act which I saw many years ago at "Orchestra Hell" - and it's because the Tristan and Isolde in this one are both well-suited to the roles - and can BELT when necessary.
