But Wagner was a composer around whom violent artistic, political, and literary controversies raged during his lifetime. Even today, Wagner's music seems to arouse either adulation or antipathy. In \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Operas of Richard Wagner, \u003c\/i\u003e as in the first four volumes of his famous series on the great opera composers, Charles Osborne first describes the composer's life at the time he wrote each opera, thus providing a biographical thread which runs through the book; follows it with a thorough examination of the libretto and its sources; and lastly tells the story of the opera, which he links to the major musical features.This book is, in effect, a musical biography of Wagner, tracing his development from his first complete opera, \u003ci\u003eDie Feen, \u003c\/i\u003e to his last, \u003ci\u003eParsifal.\u003c\/i\u003e It serves as an invaluable guide to the often perplexing Wagner oeuvre both for the regular opera-goer and the armchair listener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.91w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306805226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Osborne, \u003c\/b\u003e well-known British musicologist, critic, and broadcaster, is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Concert Companion, Richard Wagner and His World, The Complete Operas of Verdi, The Complete Operas of Mozart, \u003c\/i\u003e and other works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40008403615859,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b2b5bdf9-655f-471b-a14a-ebd7d828b43f.jpg?v=1650385469","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/compl-operas-of-richard-wagner-pb-9780306805226","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
