Posted by Robert Storm There are also several C. Kleiber live recordings of Tristan und Isolde. I've heard the one with Spas Wenkoff.

The Carlos Kleiber recording is my favorite studio recording of Tristan und Isolde. It is somewhat controversial because it's very much a studio recording: something that couldn't have been performed live. Margaret Price never sang Isolde live. That's why many think that she shouldn't have done that in studio either. I disagree. I think it would a shame if her beautifully sung Isolde hadn't been recorded. Also some of the other singers have a bit lighter voices than most Wagner singers.
