Review
"Magee gives us an absorbing history of how Wagner's reading list and his protean musical genius combine, illuminating in the process why these masterpieces can so overwhelm us. A wonderful book."--Russell Platt, "Symphony Magazine"
"A remarkable contribution to the extensive literature on Wagner, Magee's text is not only illuminating but also highly personal and enormously engaging...Those readers already passionate about Wagner's works will find new reasons to appreciate them, and those who have avoided his music will find the book a revelation."--"Library Journal "(starred review)
"A sound and highly readable exploration of the composer's philosophical milieu...Magee's mellow, lucid interpretation of how intellectual influences informed and nourished Wagner's libretti is highly persuasive."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"A carefully researched account of a fiery personality who transmuted daunting ideas into compelling art."--"Booklist"
"A splendid no-holds-barred account...Magee is unrivalled."--"BBC Music Magazine"
"Enlightening, exciting . . ." The Tristan Chord" is quite simply indispensable . . . and should take its place among any Wagnerian's short list of required reading."--John Rockwell, "The New York Times"
