Stephen Fry - Tristan Chord

[PureMatteo]

What does he play when fry enters the room ? It's marvelous !

[emieldelange]

@PureMatteo Its the final bits of the same opera (tristan und isolde), also know as the liebstod

[Laeliapurpurata]

In my opinion, this opera is the apogee of Romanticism.

[Ccynical]

What is the name of the actual piece the pianist is playing at the beginning/very end? Anyone?

[Laeliapurpurata]

@Ccynical It's the Liszt transcription.

[marcusghealloit]

@Ccynical That's the Liebestod. You can look for it here on youtube, quite easy to find a lot of versions of it, piano, orchestra etc... it's the very end of the opera.

Interesting........I just finished watching the film 'Melancholia' and became interested in this music or the Tristan chord.
