Tarmo’s Tristan Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

How do you explain the lightning strike of Tristan und Isolde to someone who doesn't know the piece yet? You can tell how all the stops of overwhelm are pulled out. You can search for words for the sublime intimacy of two people who stop the world for one night. Or you can let the music itself speak with the best singers of our time and a conductor for whom this opera is the most beautiful thing there is.
