It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Does the CD sound any better?

...boy my vinyl sounds dry and brittle.
To me, Overall this production feels a bit light weight all around. The Love Duet has no emotion sounding distant. Beautiful orchestration let down by dry emotionless voices. Price's Isolde does not have the warmth or depth of Flagstadt. It's a studio recording so perspective is slightly lost as everyone is equally mixed into the score. IIRC, Price does not do well on a lower register keys losing a composure and depth. Kollo sounds dry and no sex appeal.
But this stuff is highly subjective obviously. But from a sound quality Philips tramples early 80s DG digital.
