As requested by weavileoff0461, here's a rendition of the Vorspiel from Tristan und Isolde with the Pokémon DPP soundfont. The Liebestod will be uploaded as well at a later date.
First of all, everything that could be said about the famous "Tristan chord" that appears almost as soon as this Prelude begins (0:05) has already been said. However, for those unaware of it, its particular harmonic piquancy has been cited as being the biggest precursor to the more tonally ambiguous music that would come in the 20th century, and thus as perhaps Wagner's single biggest influence on subsequent composers.
To say that only that chord had that influence is, of course, oversimplifying things by quite a wide margin. To be more accurate, its expressive connotations are what made such a huge impact on the musical scene. Indeed, the unresolved tension of that unstable-sounding chord informs this whole Prelude and, for that matter, almost the entire opera all the way to its end with feelings of longing, fervent passion, foreboding, and much else all at once. This is especially appropriate considering the central theme of this opera in question: the forbidden and tragically impossible love between the two titular main characters.
