Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

One of the world's greatest artistic masterpieces is Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung. It's central dominating theme may be said to be the conflict between love and the lust for power symbolized by the accursed Rhinegold. First presented in 1876 in the renowned theatre at Bayreuth, The Ring stands as a monument to the Romantic Age, a monument of breathtaking scope and subtlety, poignance and grandeur. Until now, Wagner's texts, which were conceived simultaneously with the music, have been available only in stilted and unimaginative English translations. In this important new version, especially commissioned for publication in this series, the full text is for the first time presented to the public in a clear and exciting translation that is specifically designed to be sung as well as read.
