Whilst Wagner's ranking among the most significant composers in the history of Western music is undisputed, his music has been more attacked perhaps more that that of any other composer.
His personal defects have provoked hostility and consequent mistrust and abhorrence of his music.
Tanner's fascination with the juxtaposition of music, text and plot generates an illuminating discussion of Wagner's work, in which he encourages us to see Wagner's best-known works afresh.
His passionate and unconventional analyses are accessible to all lovers of music, be they listeners or performers.
