'Idiosyncratic, humorous, enlightening and written by one of the
finest conductors alive ... This is the book to buy if you are
going to see Wagner or listen to him at home' LITERARY REVIEW Over
a distinguished career conducting some of the world's finest
orchestras, Christian Thielemann has earned a reputation as the
leading modern interpreter of Richard Wagner. MY LIFE WITH WAGNER
chronicles his ardent personal and professional engagement with the
composer whose work has shaped his thinking and feeling from early
childhood. Thielemann retraces his journey with Wagner - from
Berlin to Bayreuth via Venice, Hamburg and Chicago. Next he takes
each opera in turn, his appraisal illuminated by a deep affinity
for the music, an intimate knowledge of the scores and the inside
perspective of an outstanding practitioner. And yet for all the
adulation Wagner's art inspires in him, Thielemann does not shy
away from unpalatable truths about the man himself, explaining why
today he is venerated and reviled in equal measure. The result is a
richly rewarding read for admirers of a composer who continues to
fascinate long after his death.
