Richard Wagner and His World by Thomas S Grey
Richard Wagner (1813-1883) aimed to be more than just a composer. He set out to redefine opera as a 'total work of art' combining the highest aspirations of drama, poetry, the symphony, the visual arts, even religion and philosophy. This book examines his works.
"Offers much stimulating material, presented in kaleidoscopic fashion, that should be required reading for anyone desiring a more profound insight"--Della Couling, Classical Music Magazine "Grey once again has ferreted out themes and original material on the composer which have not been over-exposed in English translation."--Mike Ashman, Gramophone
Thomas S. Grey is professor of music at Stanford University. His books include "Wagner's Musical Prose: Texts and Contexts" and "The Cambridge Companion to Wagner".
