They’re the two most famous sections of Richard Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde (Tristan and Isolde): The first act prelude, and Isolde’s ‘Liebestod’ from the third act. They’re presented here by an extraordinary lineup: Daniel Barenboim conducting the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, Waltraud Meier singing Isolde's Liebestod. The much-loved pieces were performed in the year 2006, in a concert encore at the Berliner Philharmonie.

它們是理查德·瓦格納的歌劇《特里斯坦與伊索德》中最著名的兩個部分：第一幕前奏和伊索德第三幕的“Liebestod”。他們在這裡由非凡的陣容呈現：丹尼爾·巴倫博伊姆指揮西東合集管弦樂團，瓦爾特勞德·邁耶演唱伊索德的《愛情》。這首備受喜愛的作品於2006年在柏林愛樂樂團的返場音樂會上演出。

The prelude alone of Tristan und Isolde wrote musical history. It begins with the legendary ‘Tristan chord’ – so harmonically ambiguous that, with it, Wagner had broken with every conventional theory of harmony in one fell swoop. The chord creates an ominous suspense that cries out for harmonious resolution, yet every move to resolve it only further compounds the initial tension. This creates a perpetual, musical limbo. The opening motif of the Tristan chord is woven all throughout the opera’s prelude – leading it to be characterized as “desire, made into music".
《特里斯坦與伊索德》的序曲本身就書寫了音樂史。它以傳奇的“特里斯坦和弦”開篇——和聲如此模糊，瓦格納憑藉它一舉打破了所有傳統的和聲理論。這和弦營造出一種不祥的懸念，迫切需要和諧的解決，然而每一次試圖化解的舉動都只會進一步加劇最初的緊張感。這營造出一種永恆的音樂懸念。特里斯坦和弦的開場主題貫穿了歌劇的序曲，使其被描述為「慾望化作音樂」。

Desire is certainly the overarching theme of Tristan und Isolde: It is the essence of the love story between the two. In worldly life, this love not only remains unfulfilled, but ends tragically. On the metaphysical level, however, love is celebrated as rarely before: As Isolde holds the dead Tristan in her arms, she sings one of the most sensual love songs ever written. Her ‘Liebestod’ – literally ‘love-death’ – is a purging of all things earthly; a glorification of ecstatic union with the beloved.
慾望無疑是《特里斯坦與伊索德》的首要主題：它是兩人愛情故事的精髓。在世俗生活中，這段愛情不僅未能實現，更以悲劇收場。然而，在形而上的層面上，愛情卻得到了前所未有的頌揚：伊索德懷抱已故的特里斯坦，吟唱著史上最感性的情歌之一。她的「Liebestod」（愛之死）——字面意思是「愛與死」——是對塵世一切的淨化；是對與愛人狂喜結合的頌揚。

Waltraud Meier, one of the world’s pre-eminent Wagner performers, is filled with fervor and devotion as she sings the part. The choir members, standing behind her, observe the magnificent mezzo-soprano with bated breath. A more stirring vocal performance could not be found.
瓦爾特勞德·邁耶是世界傑出的華格納歌劇表演家之一，她在演唱這段歌劇時充滿熱情和奉獻精神。站在她身後的合唱團成員屏息凝視著這位氣勢恢宏的女中音。沒有比這更激動人心的演唱了。

Whether you’re a lover of Wagner or no: Enjoy these two milestones of musical history!
