Articles liés à Aspects of Wagner
Synopsis
This study analyzes the work of Wagner and discusses the reasons for the differing reactions his work has provoked. The author aims to show that Wagner's music expresses the repressed and highly charged contents of the psyche. He examines not only Wagner's music and detailed stage directions but also the prose works in which he formulated his ideas. He sheds light on his anti-semitism and the way in which his theories were twisted by the Nazis for their own ends. Wagner's influence on the culture of our age is outlined: his affect on musicians, poets, novelists, painters, philosophers and politicians. In this second edition Magee has revised the book throughout and added a chapter in which he considers the nature and role of the musical element in the operas.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The man whom W.H. Auden called `perhaps the greatest genius that ever lived' has inspired extremes of adulation and loathing. In this penetrating analysis, Bryan Magee outlines the range and depth of Wagner's achievement, and shows how his sensational and erotic music expresses the repressed and highly charged contents of the psyche. He also examines Wagner's detailed stage directions, and the prose works in which he formulated his ideas, and sheds interesting new light on his anti-semitism. This new edition has been extensively revised. It includes a fresh chapter, `Wagner as Music'.
