Description
Wagner's music has inspired both great admiration and intense loathing. Bryan Magee presents a penetrating analysis of the composer's work, exploring how his sensational music expresses the repressed and charged contents of the psyche. Magee examines Wagner's music, detailed stage directions, prose works, and anti-semitism, shedding new light on how the Nazis distorted his ideas to suit their purposes. He reveals the profound impact of Wagner's influence on culture, from musicians to politicians, who continue to be shocked and inspired by his work today.
