Acerca de este título
Wagner’s Ring cycle is the most ambitious work in the history of music: four operas that combine to tell a single epic story. Based in legend, it has become a legend in its own right: a supreme challenge for conductors, singers, opera producers, and indeed for audiences. But for all its grandeur and complexity, The Ring is far more accessible than many music lovers think.
This audiobook guide explains the basics of the plot, profiles the leading characters, and shows how Wagner’s revolutionary music adds fascinating layers of meaning and psychological insight, as well as providing some of the most stirring and intoxicating moments in the entire operatic repertoire.

As part of the Opera Explained series, Stephen Johnson takes a look at, what he calls, "the biggest and most ambitious work in the history of music": Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung. The epic four part opera which draws upon Nordic and Germanic legend has gained a prestigious status, with dedicated followers eager to sit through the lengthy experience.
Johnson discusses the story of gods and men, passion and violence; the history of the piece, with its notorious and oft deliberated connections to Nazi Germany; and the music itself, which transcends any negative context it or its author might have been associated with. Johnson’s measured analysis and thoughtful reflection is interspersed with clips from the opera that will delight any Ring fanatic or opera enthusiast.
