Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] A new concept of orchestra. Few arias. Many monologues. Sixteen hours of music. Four works. Twenty-six years to complete them. It is the Ring of the Nibelung, the most monumental feat that a composer has ever dared to conceive. Yet it is possible to face it, enjoy it, listen to it. This book is a new guide to listening to the Tetralogy, a great work on the Opera: Gastón Fournier-Facio and Alessandro Gamba explore the Wagnerian universes, weaving a work-world where the immense music flows from the page, intertwined with the poem and to the story of the authors, who here pierce the two-dimensionality of the text, revealing the philosophical references that represented the fundamental substratum for Wagner.
