In December 2004 Plácido Domingo returned to the recording studio for his very first recording of Wagner’s epic opera Tristan und Isolde.

Two other EMI and Virgin Classics artists make up the exemplary cast on this recording: English tenor Ian Bostridge sings Der Hirt and Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón, who makes his debut at the Salzburg summer Festival this year, steps into the role of Der junge Seemann.

This 4-CD set comprises the full opera on 3 CDs and a special bonus DVD disc.
