The Faber Pocket Guide to Wagner by Michael Tanner

Richard Wagner remains, almost 130 years after his death, the most controversial composer in the history of music. The author gives accounts of all his operas and indicating some of the key musical features. He also provides an outline of Wagner's astonishing life.

Michael Tanner was a lecturer in the Philosophy Faculty of the University of Cambridge for thirty-six years, and is a Fellow of Corpus Christi College. He has been the opera critic of The Spectator since 1996, and reviews CDs and DVDs of music and opera widely. His life as a teacher was divided between philosophy and literature, though music has always been of at least equal importance to him.The Telegraph has said that 'Michael Tanner['s] knowledge and understanding of [Wagner] and his works are probably unsurpassed this side of Bayreuth'.
