Query: Overpraised recording

I was amazed about the kind of praise heaped on this dvd by some. I've now watched it and am of the view that this is merely a mediocre production. Although there is nothing very wrong with the direction, it is rather boringly done without a single inspiring moment.As regards the singing, Heppner and Eaglen definitely are not well suited to the role. In no way, whether in terms of voice or their understanding of the parts, can they rival the many great interpreters of the past. In fact, Eaglen, in particular, is rather out of sorts in the role of Isolde, and Heppner's performance is lackluster.A disappointing release for me.
