Tristan, overjoyed, asks if her ship is in sight, but only a sorrowful tune from the shepherd's pipe is heard. Tristan relapses and recalls that the shepherd's mournful tune is the same as was played when he was told of the deaths of his father and mother "Muss ich dich so versteh'n, du alte, ernst Weise".
He rails once again against his desires and against the fateful love potion "verflucht sei, furchtbarer Trank! After his collapse, the shepherd is heard piping the arrival of Isolde's ship, and, as Kurwenal rushes to meet her, Tristan tears the bandages from his wounds in his excitement "Hahei! Mein Blut, lustig nun fliesse!
As Isolde arrives at his side, Tristan dies with her name on his lips. Isolde collapses beside her deceased lover just as the appearance of another ship is announced. He believes they have come to kill Tristan and, in an attempt to avenge him, furiously attacks Melot. Marke tries to stop the fight to no avail. Both Melot and Kurwenal are killed in the fight. Marke, grieving over the body of his "truest friend" "Tot denn alles!

Wagner's friend the poet Georg Herwegh introduced him in late to the work of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Man, according to Schopenhauer, is driven by continued, unachievable desires, and the gulf between our desires and the possibility of achieving them leads to misery while the world is a representation of an unknowable reality.
Our representation of the world is Phenomenon , while the unknowable reality is Noumenon: Schopenhauer's influence on Tristan und Isolde is most evident in the second and third acts.

The second act, in which the lovers meet, and the third act, during which Tristan longs for release from the passions that torment him, have often proved puzzling to opera-goers unfamiliar with Schopenhauer's work. Wagner uses the metaphor of Day and Night in the second act to designate the realms inhabited by Tristan and Isolde. Under the dictates of the realm of Day, Tristan was forced to remove Isolde from Ireland and to marry her to his Uncle Marke — actions against Tristan's secret desires.
The realm of Night, in contrast, is the representation of intrinsic reality, in which the lovers can be together and their desires can be openly expressed and reach fulfilment: The realm of Night, therefore, becomes also the realm of death: In this way, Wagner implicitly equates the realm of Day with Schopenhauer's concept of Phenomenon and the realm of Night with Schopenhauer's concept of Noumenon.
The world-view of Schopenhauer dictates that the only way for man to achieve inner peace is to renounce his desires: In fact Wagner even considered having the character of Parsifal meet Tristan during his sufferings in act 3, but later rejected the idea. Posthuma argues that neither Tristan nor Isolde try for one moment to ignore their feelings of love for each other nor do they try to overcome them. On the contrary, they yield to their feelings with all their hearts — but secretly.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Schopenhauer doctrine. Another important point in this philosophy is Schopenhauer's opinion about finding happiness with one woman only, which he rejected — his reason for never marrying. But for Tristan there is only one woman, Isolde, with Death as alternative. And this leads to the inevitable conclusion that it was not Schopenhauer and his doctrine that were responsible for the creation of Wagner's sublime music drama but his unfulfilled love for the woman he met and loved during these years, Mathilde Wesendonck.
Although Tristan und Isolde is now widely performed in major opera houses around the world, critical opinion of the opera was initially unfavourable. The 5 July edition of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung reported:. In the service of this end, music has been enslaved to the word; the most ideal of the Muses has been made to grind the colours for indecent paintings Wagner makes sensuality itself the true subject of his drama We think that the stage presentation of the poem Tristan und Isolde amounts to an act of indecency.
Wagner does not show us the life of heroes of Nordic sagas which would edify and strengthen the spirit of his German audiences. What he does present is the ruination of the life of heroes through sensuality. Eduard Hanslick 's reaction in to the prelude to Tristan was that it "reminds one of the old Italian painting of a martyr whose intestines are slowly unwound from his body on a reel.
We cannot refrain from making a protest against the worship of animal passion which is so striking a feature in the late works of Wagner.

The passion is unholy in itself and its representation is impure, and for those reasons we rejoice in believing that such works will not become popular. If they did we are certain their tendency would be mischievous, and there is, therefore, some cause for congratulation in the fact that Wagner's music, in spite of all its wondrous skill and power, repels a greater number than it fascinates. Mark Twain , on a visit to Germany, heard Tristan at Bayreuth and commented: I feel strongly out of place here.
Sometimes I feel like the one sane person in the community of the mad; sometimes I feel like the one blind man where all others see; the one groping savage in the college of the learned, and always, during service, I feel like a heretic in heaven. Clara Schumann wrote that Tristan und Isolde was "the most repugnant thing I have ever seen or heard in all my life".
With the passage of time, Tristan became more favourably regarded. In an interview shortly before his death, Giuseppe Verdi said that he "stood in wonder and terror" before Wagner's Tristan.

Richard Strauss , initially dismissive of Tristan, claimed that Wagner's music "would kill a cat and would turn rocks into scrambled eggs from fear of [its] hideous discords. It was the most wonderful day of my life. The conductor Bruno Walter heard his first Tristan und Isolde in as a student:. So there I sat in the topmost gallery of the Berlin Opera House, and from the first sound of the cellos my heart contracted spasmodically Never before has my soul been deluged with such floods of sound and passion, never had my heart been consumed by such yearning and sublime bliss A new epoch had begun: Wagner was my god, and I wanted to become his prophet.
Arnold Schoenberg referred to Wagner's technique of shifting chords in Tristan as "phenomena of incredible adaptability and nonindependence roaming, homeless, among the spheres of keys; spies reconnoitering weaknesses; to exploit them in order to create confusion, deserters for whom surrender of their own personality is an end in itself". Friedrich Nietzsche , who in his younger years was one of Wagner's staunchest allies, wrote that, for him, " Tristan and Isolde is the real opus metaphysicum of all art In a letter to his friend Erwin Rohde in October , Nietzsche described his reaction to Tristan's prelude: Even after his break with Wagner, Nietzsche continued to consider Tristan a masterpiece: Marcel Proust , greatly influenced by Wagner, refers to Tristan und Isolde and its "inexhaustible repetitions" throughout his novel In Search of Lost Time.
He describes the prelude theme as "linked to the future, to the reality of the human soul, of which it was one of the most special and distinctive ornaments. Tristan und Isolde has a long recorded history and most of the major Wagner conductors since the end of the First World War have had their interpretations captured on disc. The limitations of recording technology meant that until the s it was difficult to record the entire opera, however recordings of excerpts or single acts exist going back to , when excerpts of Tristan were captured on the Mapleson Cylinders recorded during performances at the Metropolitan Opera.
In the years before World War II, Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior were considered to be the prime interpreters of the lead roles, and mono recordings exist of this pair in a number of live performances led by conductors such as Thomas Beecham , Fritz Reiner , Artur Bodanzky and Erich Leinsdorf. In the s, the soprano Birgit Nilsson was considered the major Isolde interpreter, and she was often partnered with the Tristan of Wolfgang Windgassen. Karajan did not record the opera officially until — Karajan's selection of a lighter soprano voice Helga Dernesch as Isolde, paired with an extremely intense Jon Vickers and the unusual balance between orchestra and singers favoured by Karajan was controversial.
In the s recordings by conductors such as Carlos Kleiber , Reginald Goodall and Leonard Bernstein were mostly considered to be important for the interpretation of the conductor, rather than that of the lead performers. The set by Kleiber is notable as Isolde was sung by the famous Mozartian soprano Margaret Price , who never sang the role of Isolde on stage. In the last ten years acclaimed sets include a studio recording with the Berlin Philharmonic by Daniel Barenboim and a live set from the Vienna Staatsoper led by Christian Thielemann.
In a world first, the British opera house Glyndebourne made a full digital video download of the opera available for purchase online in The Prelude and Liebestod is a concert version of the overture and Isolde's act 3 aria, "Mild und leise". The arrangement was by Wagner himself, and it was first performed in , several years before the premiere of the complete opera in The Liebestod can be performed either in a purely orchestral version, or with a soprano singing Isolde's vision of Tristan resurrected. In his father-in-law Franz Liszt made a piano transcription of "Mild und leise" , which he called "Liebestod" S.
Liszt's transcription became well known throughout Europe well before Wagner's opera reached most places, and it is Liszt's title for the final scene that persists.
