Description

Richard Wagner provides a balanced view of both Wagner's great successes and the controversies generated by his life and art. This biography explores the composer's music and prose writings, delving into his essential operas such as The Ring and Tristan and Isolde, as well as lesser-known fragments like "Wieland the Smith" and "The Mines at Falun". With a refreshingly uncluttered approach to Wagner's life, this book offers a nuanced assessment of one of music's most complex figures.
