5.0 out of 5 stars A Scholarly work on Wagner's music and thought, May 31, 2007

This review is from: Richard Wagner: His life, art and thought (Hardcover)

A standard biography followed by a discussion of his work, showing how it is grounded in his intellectual and spiritual development. An interesting and valuable work, perhaps a bit difficult for those not well-grounded in philosophy. Especially valuable for his relationship with Nietzche and his influence on Wagner's own prolific literary works. A scholarly work for musicians well worth reading.
