Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Richard Wagner is one of the most influential - and controversial - composers in the history of music. Over the course of his long career, he produced a stream of spellbinding works that challenged musical convention through their richness and experimentation, ultimately paving the way for modernism.Moving at a fast pace, the book encompasses a refreshingly wide range of themes, from the composer's sources of inspiration, his fetish for exotic silks, and his relationship with his wives and mistresses, to accusations of anti-Semitism, the operas' proto-cinematic nature, and the turbulent legacy both of the Bayreuth Festival and of Wagnerism itself.Making use of the very latest scholarship - much of it undertaken by the author himself as editor of The Wagner Journal - Barry Millington reassesses received notions about Wagner and his work, demolishing ill-informed opinion in favour of proper critical understanding. The result is a radical - and occasionally provocative - reappraisal of this most perplexing of composers. With its many intriguing images and quotations from contemporary documents, Richard Wagner: The Sorcerer of Bayreuth will grip anyone interested in music and in the wider cultural life of the 19th century and beyond. Richard Wagner is one of the influential and also the polarizing composers in the history of music. Over the course of his long career, he produced a stream of spellbinding works that challenged musical convention through their experimentation, paving the way for modernism. This title offers an overview of Wagners life, work and times. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780500516430
