The Wagner Companion: The Music Dramas Description

Bryan Magee, one of the greatest Wagner scholars, has written of the time before he read The World as Will and Representation: "...nearly every general book about Wagner makes the point that the biggest non-musical influence in his life was the philosophy of Schopenhauer. But all such books as I had read had done this without attempting to tell the reader what this influence consisted in -- so I had no serious conception of what it was. Even the doyen of Wagner scholars, Ernest Newman, at no point in his writings attempts a serious characterization...." Andrew Gray (the translator of the modern edition of Mein Leben) added: "We need an in your face book; something that challenges the idea that Wagner was a composer first and a playwright second, instead of the other way around. In short, a book that shows people have been looking through the telescope from the wrong end." Well, now there is such a book.
