'A fine, intellectually sparkling and always engaging little book -
a welcome addition to any Wagner library' Hans Vaget, Opera
Quarterly. Whilst no one would dispute Wagner's ranking among the
most significant composers in the history of Western music, his
works have been more fiercely attacked than those of any other
composer. His supposed personal defects have provoked intense
hostility which has translated into a mistrust and abhorrence of
his music. Tanner's fascination for the relationship between music,
text and plot generates and illuminating discussion of the operas,
in which he persuades us to see many of Wagner's best-know works
afresh. His passionate and unconventional analyses are accessible
to all lovers of music, be they listeners or performers.
