Beskrivelse
If you can read music well-enough to play the hundreds of musical motifs in this definitive compilation of Wagnerian operas, you’ll add a rich new dimension to your appreciation of these operas, particularly the 4-opera Ring Cycle — The Ring of the Nibelungs. Newman, who was music critic of the London Times for many years was a leading authority on Wagner’s operas. He conveys his understanding in beautifully written English. So both content and style this book is a masterpiece.
