Richard Wagner remains, almost 130 years after his death, the most
controversial composer in the history of music. Creator of huge and
hugely ambitious operas, which have an immense immediate impact, as
well as providing food for endless thought and discussion, Wagner
has had an influence on many fields outside music. In this lively
pocket guide, Michael Tanner gives concise accounts of all his
operas - the likes of Parsifal, Lohengrin and Tristan und Isolde -
showing how important it is to grasp the dramatic situations at
every point, and indicating some of the key musical features. He
also provides an outline of Wagner's astonishing life, and shows
that he has often been unfairly criticised and made a scapegoat,
especially for political events which took place long after his
death. Key features include: - Wagner: his life year by year -
Wagner: his music work by work - Things people said about Wagner -
Essential Wagner: ten great moments - Wagner on CD and DVD - Wagner
bibliography This indispensable Faber Pocket Guide provides a
wealth of insights into Wagner and is essential reading for anyone
with an interest in both and the man and his music. '[P]robably the
best introduction ever written to this most complex of composers.'
Simon Heffer, Telegraph
