Richard Wagner: A Life in Music,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Best known for the challenging fouropera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung, Richard Wagner (181383) was a conductor, librettist, theater director, and essayist, in addition to being the composer of some of the most enduring operatic works in history, such as The Flying Dutchman, Tannhuser, and Tristan and Isolde. Though his influence on the development of European music is indisputable, Wagner was also quite outspoken on the politics and culture of his time. His ideas traveled beyond musical circles into philosophy, literature, theater staging, and the visual arts. To befit such a dynamic figure, acclaimed biographer Martin Geck offers here a Wagner biography unlike any other, one that strikes a unique balance between the technical musical aspects of Wagners compositions and his overarching understanding of aesthetics.Wagner has always inspired passionate admirers as well as numerous detractors, with the result that he has achieved a mythical stature nearly equal to that of the Valkyries and Viking heroes he popularized. There are few, if any, scholars today who know more about Wagner and his legacy than Geck, who builds upon his extensive research and considerable knowledge as one of the editors of the Complete Works to offer a distinctive appraisal of the composer and the operas. Using a wide range of sources, from contemporary scholars to the composers own words, Geck explores key ideas in Wagners life and works, while always keeping the music in the foreground. Geck discusses not only all the major operas, but also several unfinished operas and even the composers early attempts at quasiShakespearean drama.Richard Wagner: A Life in Music is a landmark study of one of musics most important figures, offering something new to opera enthusiasts, Wagnerians, and antiWagnerians alike.
