Description - The Nibelung's Ring by Peter Bassett

Wagner's Ring Cycle is one of the great works of art of all time. The Nibelung's Ring explains the mythological background to the work, the process of composition, and the meaning of the four component operas. The expanded new edition also features two entirely new sections, a prose translation of the entire cycle in contemporary language, and a section identifying and commenting on many of the musical 'themes' that pervade the cycle and bind it together musically. The Nibelung's Ring also contains forty full - page reproductions of a complete set of magnificent and rarely seen lithographs by Hugo Braune which alone make the book a collector's item.
