'A fine, intellectually sparkling and always engaging little book - a welcome addition to any Wagner library'Hans Vaget, Opera QuarterlyWhilst no one would dispute Wagner's ranking among the most significant composers in the history of Western music, his works have been more fiercely attacked than those of any other composer. His supposed personal defects have provoked intense hostility which has translated into a mistrust and abhorrence of his music.
