WAGNER AS MAN AND ARTIST - ERNEST NEWMAN

"The greatest of operatic composers has been dead for over sixty years; today there are many more thousands than ever before to whom the immortal works of Wilhelm Richard Wagner bring their most profound musical enjoyment. But the gorious music of such operas as Tannhauser, Lohengrin, Tristan and Isolde, and the Ring cycle is by no means Wagner's only legacy to posterity. The great composer was anxious to leave the world a true portrait of himself; he fully realized that he as a man of amazing ability; he knew that the story of his romantic life would be a subject of endless discussion and would hold the engrossed attention of all those who longed to gain the fullest understanding and enjoyment of his music. Ernest Newman of the London Times, the most influential music critic on either side of the Atlantic and the author of many widely read books, among them The Stories of the Great Operas and Their Composers, has made an exhaustive study of the vast mass of original Wagnerian material and from it he has written this invaluable study of the man and the artist. It is a story of overwhelming ambition, a story lit with the love of devoted women to whose sympathy their hero was ever susceptible, a story of artistic triumphs, financial failure, and personal passion. A knowledge of Mr. Newman's book will enable you to appreciate, as never before, what lay behind the enduring beauty of Wagner's superlative music--music which in its passages of turbulent majesty as well as in those of uplifted flight of soul--reflects the proud, indomitable spirit of the unbridled genius who composed it." --Jacket.
