Superstar soprano Lisa Gasteen sings some of the most ardent songs of love and desire ever composed by the great Romantics Wagner and Strauss, as well as instrumental interludes, including Strauss' elegiac masterpiece, Metamorphosen and Wagner's perennial favourite, the Prelude to Tristan and Isolde.

Acknowledged as the finest Australian dramatic soprano of her generation, Gasteen is in her element in these stirring music dramas. With acclaimed conductor Simone Young at the helm of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, this Wagner and Strauss is a state-of-the-art aural extravaganza - and destined to become a classic.
