"A new recording of Tristan and Isolde is a very special happening, and a first-ever set in digital sound is even more spectacular. Just such a thing has come from a perhaps unlikely source – the Welsh National Opera. With assistance from Amoco, a production was mounted in the theater and subsequently recorded using the new digital process. A striking feature of this venture is the lack of star-names in the cast, so the immediate interest rests with the conductor – Reginald Goodall. In recent years, Maestro Goodall has become something of a cult-figure, leading spectacular accounts of the Ring and Die Meistersinger – or more properly The Mastersingers. With casts of British singers of moderate renown, these productions of the English National Opera (formerly the Sadler’s Wells) caused a great stir in operatic circles. Doing the Ring in an international house with established stars is difficult enough, but in translation and with repertory singers? The skeptics came and were convinced. The singing was first-rate, the sets were impressive and the playing of the orchestra was inspired. Inspired by whom? The man responsible was Reginald Goodall, whose broad tempos gave a scope and sweep to the works that brought comparisons with Knappertsbusch and Furtwängler. As it happens, Goodall worked with Furtwängler for about three years, but has spent most of his time in England at Covent Gardens and at the Wells. He has coached numerous singers and conducted performances of many works. In 1945, he led the world premiere of Peter Grimes. Though he often complains that he is getting too old for this or that (he was born in 1905), he continues to inspire and lead the largest works of Wagner. Most recently, he was involved in two different productions of Tristan – one in the new Andrew Porter translation for the ENOC, and another in the original German for the Welsh National Opera.

Since Amoco put up much of the money for the Welsh production and the recording, it seemed natural for them to unveil their efforts to America at the corporate headquarters in Chicago." - Bruce Duffie
