Wagner

Více o knize

A documentary study published to commemorate the Bayreuth centenary, this sumptuous book truly befits its subject. Contains Wagner's autobiographical sketch, his instructions on the proper staging of his operas, letters he exchanged with friends like Hector Berlioz, Heinrich Heine, and August Renoir, excerpts from Cosima Wagner's diary, etc. The splendid contemporary illustrations enable one to "see" the man and his family and associates, the concert halls and costumes of his day, and his homes, including Villa Wahnfried.
