Ross A. Vagnerizm: Iskusstvo i politika v teni muzyki
| Author | Ross A. |
| Title | Vagnerizm: Iskusstvo i politika v teni muzyki |
| Description | Richard Wagner is, without exaggeration, the most influential and controversial figure in the history of music. A composer and theatrical ideologist, an innovative director and playwright, an essayist and thinker; not only his grandiose musical dramas but also the concepts he developed — the "total work of art," the "leitmotif," and the "artwork of the future" — defined the aesthetic discourse of several generations. By the end of the 19th century, European and American culture had fallen under the sway of Wagnerism. The composer's influence was felt by writers and artists, politicians and philosophers: from Friedrich Nietzsche, Charles Baudelaire, and Isadora Duncan to Virginia Woolf, Wassily Kandinsky, and Sergei Eisenstein. Having survived Hitler's attempt to appropriate the composer's legacy in the 20th century, Wagnerism continues to permeate culture today, transforming itself in the works of radical theater directors and conceptual artists, in fantasy epics, and superhero films.
Music critic Alex Ross's book chronicles the many conflicting and mutually enriching interpretations of the German composer's work and explores the reflections of one art form in another. |
