Rezensionen
Ausgerechnet im Spiegel seiner Rezipienten wird der Komponist auf 900 Seiten so lebendig wie in fast keinem anderen Buch. Dieses Meisterwerk der Kulturgeschichtsschreibung verweigert sich allen Klischees und Vereinfachungen, lässt vielmehr die Widersprüche und Besonderheiten von Richard Wagners Werk und Wirkung für sich sprechen.
