Présentation de l'éditeur :
Lavishly produced and elegantly set, with a wealth of material which will appeal for opera lovers, academics and general readers. Includes articles by some of the leading music specialists in the world. Includes more than twenty black-and-white and colour photos printed on special glossy paper in a separate plate section. Contains a thematic guide, and an up-to-date bibliography, select discography and website guide. Acclaimed by today's most exacting music critics. From its conception in 1857 to its first performances in 1882, Parsifal represented the culmination of the themes that preoccupied Wagner during the latter part of his life. This guide includes a series of articles on Wagner's profound and complex opera, which the composer preferred to call a BuhnenweihfestspielA" - a festival work to consecrate a stageA". The first, by Mike Ashman, explores the ideological background to the opera, both political and philosophical. Dieter Borchmeyer goes on to discuss the mythological foundations of Parsifal, and its relation to Wagner's earlier works. Robin Holloway provides a study of the opera's musical motifs, followed by Carolyn Abbate's essay 'Parsifal: Words and Music', which examines the relation between music and drama in the opera. Finally, Gerd Rienacker contributes an essay on the dramaturgy of Parsifal, and analyzes some of the major scenes.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Richard Wagner (1813 -83) was a composer who drew inspiration from Christian and Nordic mythology, as well as the philosophy of Schopenhauer, to pioneer dramatically new forms of music. His concept of the Total ArtworkA" led to the construction of the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, an opera house he designed specifically for productions of his own operas. He also wrote widely on music and art. His operas include Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg and the four parts of Der Ring des Nibelungen.
