Published in the run-up to the 200th anniversary of the composers birth in 2013 & written by one of the most distinguished Wagner scholars in the world this will be the Wagner book of the bicentenary. Richard Wagner (18131883) is one of the most influential & also one of the most 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 richness & tonal experimentation ultimately paving the way for modernism. This book presents an in-depth but easy-to-read overview of Wagners life work & times. Making use of the very latest scholarship much of it undertaken by the author himself in connection with his editorship of The Wagner Journal Millington reassesses received notions about Wagner & his work demolishing ill-informed opinion in favour of proper critical understanding It is a radical & occasionally controversial reappraisal of this most perplexing of composers. The book considers a whole range of themes including the composers original sources of inspiration; his fetish for exotic silks; his relationship with his wife Cosima & with his mistress Mathilde Wesendonck; his anti-semitism; the operas proto-cinematic nature; & the turbulent legacy both of the Bayreuth Festival & of Wagnerism itself. The volumes arrangement unique among books on the composer combines an accessible text intriguing images & original documents in carefully co-ordinated sections thus ensuring a consistently fresh approach. ...

It is also a tale of innocence: that of a six-year-old boy transfixed by his sky-blue heroes coming of age as a writer with the mature understanding that both his club & the game are businesses. Why should modern football continue to claim the unquestioning loyalty of fans when there is so much in the game to question? ...
