BBC SSO, City Halls, Glasgow Nobody does it better

If you were listening to the live broadcast of Donald Runnicles's account of Act Two of Tristan und Isolde on the wireless, I have no idea what it might have sounded like. But I will tell you this: the effect and impact of the performance, with Runnicles, the SSO and as starry a cast of performers as you might imagine, was staggering and awesome.
