Wagner is known for delayed resolutions in his works, slowly edging the audience toward harmonic satisfaction only when he's ready. In Tristan and Isolde, he takes it to an extreme, only resolving to the root harmony after 2.5h. He does so during this solo, climactically during the peak of her solo as she drinks hemlock, in despair of losing her lover. The climax only comes in the resolution of death/dying.

The conductor Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau does an incredible job really pulling the most out of orchestra. One of the best recordings of all time IMO.
