Editorial Review Product Description The work of Richard Wagner is a continuing source of artistic inspiration and ideological controversy in literature, philosophy, and music, as well as cinema. In Wagner and Cinema, a diverse group of established and emerging scholars examines Wagner's influence on cinema from the silent era to the present. The essays in this collection engage in a critical dialogue with existing studies -- extending and renovating current theories related to the topic -- and propose unexplored topics and new methodological perspectives. The contributors discuss films ranging from the 1913 biopic of Wagner to Ridley Scott's Gladiator, with essays on silent cinema, film scoring, Wagner in Hollywood, German cinema, and Wagner beyond the soundtrack. |

Editorial Review Product Description Bryan Magee presents a penetrating analysis of Wagner's work, concentrating on how his sensational and deeply erotic music uniquely expresses the repressed and highly charged contents of the psyche.He examines not only Wagner's music and detailed stage directions but also the prose works in which he formulated his ideas, as well as shedding new light on his anti-semitism and the way in which the Nazis twisted his theories to suit their own purposes. Outlining the astonishing range and depth of Wagner's influence on our culture, Magee reveals how profoundly he continues to shock and inspire musicians, poets, novelists, painters, philosophers, and politicians today.

Adequate; mediocre. Ernest Newman does same thing better. Not all the commentary is reliable; the chapter on"Parsifal" buys into some of the nonsense first talked by RobertGutman about this opera (the Grail knights as homosexual SS order, and soon), which has been comprehensively and devastatingly demolished by LucyBecket in her book "Parsifal". I find Osborne's"even-handedness" a little irritating at times. "Tristan undIsolde", he says, is a masterpiece, though it's too long, of course.That reminds me of Mozart's reply to the Emperor who thought his "IlSeraglio" score had "too many notes": "Which notes doyou think I should take out?" (I'm quoting the "Amadeus"movie there, and from memory, so that's not quite what was really said, butclose enough.) Like Mozart, I find that a dumb comment, unless Osbornecares to tell us which parts of "Tristan" etc we should do awaywith to make it shorter. And I think the job of someone writing anintroduction to any composer is to be critical, certainly, but also tocommunicate enthusiasm, not weariness. So for new insights, Tanner,Magee, Millington are better, and for "sources, plot plot summary plusmusical commentary" Newman is better. It's not actually bad, justmediocre. Also, unlike Newman Osborne covers the first three Wagner operas,"Die Feen", "Das Liebesverbot" and "Reinzi",so that's quite useful. Laon ... Read more |
