| Summary | "Wagner and His Music-Dramas" by Robert C. Bagar is a comprehensive analysis of the music-dramas of composer Richard Wagner, authored in the mid-20th century. This book serves as a guide and appreciation of Wagner's major works, exploring themes, compositions, and the historical context of his operatic style. It aims to present Wagner's creative journey and the dramatic intensity of his operas to both enthusiasts and casual listeners alike. In this volume, Bagar delves deeply into Wagner's life, including his struggles, influences, and evolution as an artist. The text examines key operas such as "Der Ring des Nibelungen," "Tristan und Isolde," and "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg," highlighting their philosophical underpinnings and musical innovations. The author outlines the central motifs, narrative arcs, and the impact of Wagner's works on the development of opera. Bagar's insightful commentary reveals the juxtaposition of Wagner's lofty artistic ideals against the complexities of his personal life, thereby providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the composer and his masterpieces.
