Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"100 Wagner Moments: Have you had one?" The music dramas of Richard Wagner have, for the last 150 years, thrilled and amazed listeners everywhere. In Wagner Moments, author J. K. Holman has assembled 100 such moments, from the living and dead, famous and not so famous, from Charles Baudelaire to Placido Domingo, musicians and non-musicians. Mr. Holman edits these stories, placing them in their biographical and historical context.
Book News Annotation:About 100 writers, musicians, artists, composers, and others from the
past and present describe moments of epiphany or times when they were
moved by the music of Richard Wagner. The brief descriptions come
from individuals such as Margaret Atwood, W. H. Auden, Daniel
Barenboim, Willa Cather, Paul Cézanne, Plácido Domingo, T.S. Eliot,
James Joyce, Wassily Kandinsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Beverly Sills,
Arturo Toscanini, and Virginia Woolf. Many are excerpts from other
works. There is no index. Holman, a historian and lecturer, is the
chairman of the Wagner Society of Washington D.C. He is the author of
Wagner's Ring--A Listener's Companion and Concordance.
