Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Muy bueno. : En esta guía sobre Wagner y sus obras, Thomas May explora el mundo de esta figura profundamente incomprendida e icono cultural cuya influencia se extiende a todas las artes. Desafiando las suposiciones comunes, May sirve como guía del gran poder emocional en el arte de Wagner y presenta una visión general directa de lo que Wagner intentó lograr con su "obra de arte del futuro". Los debates animados sobre sus principales obras las sitúan en el contexto de su vida y consideran la interacción de los elementos dramáticos y musicales con las ideas filosóficas únicas de Wagner. Dos CDs adjuntos trazan el crecimiento de Wagner como compositor, revelando la riqueza expresiva que continúa haciendo que su arte sea convincente y relevante para el público contemporáneo.
