Recenzii

a masterpiece, all told the best book on Wagner I have ever read
After reading this book, only the most unadventurous reader would turn down the chance to see Wagner's masterpiece.
Roger Scruton is in many ways the ideal interpreter of the Ring
Highly original and penetrating ... he writes about the music authoritatively but comprehensibly... lucidly, cogently and even entertainingly
Admirably lucid ... a perceptive and detailed account ... constantly enlightening commentary
