Sir Georg Solti, Eugene Ormandy
Wagner’s powerful opera Tristan und Isolde explores the doomed love of the two title characters. The opening Prelude and Liebestod finale—featured during Carnegie Hall’s Opening Week Music Festival in 1891—encapsulates the drama, as performed by Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1976. Recorded three years later, internationally beloved violinist Itzhak Perlman brings Tchaikovsky’s tender lyricism to life in the composer’s only Violin Concerto, with The Philadelphia Orchestra and its longtime conductor Eugene Ormandy.
