Günter Wagner

Tristan und Isolde

Zoltán Kocsis (1952-2016) left a lasting mark not only as a phenomenal pianist, but as a musical polymath: his genius combined the composer, conductor, editor, instrumentalist, and orchestrator. With his transcriptions he enriched the symphonic, chamber, song, and piano repertoires with a hundred and fifty works.
This publication contains a transcription by Kocsis of the prelude to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. In 1982 the work was recorded played by Kocsis, and today we regularly find it in pianists' programmes. This publication is printed on high quality, durable paper made from renewable raw materials in an environmentally friendly way.
