Simon Callow
Auteur de Orson Welles: The Road to Xanadu
A propos de l'auteur
Simon Callow, acclaimed biographer and celebrated author of Orson Welles, evokes the intellectual and artistic climate in which Wagner lived and takes us through his most iconic works, from his pivotal successes in The Flying Dutchman and Lohengrin, to the musical paradigm shift contained in afficher plus Tristan and Isolde, to the apogee of his achievements in The Ring and Parsifal, which debuted at Bayreuth shortly before his death. Being Wagner brings to life this towering figure, creator of the most sublime and most controversial body of work ever known. Callow delivers a dazzling, swift, and accessible biography of the musical titan Richard Wagner and his profoundly problematic legacy-a fresh take for seasoned acolytes and the perfect introduction for new fans. afficher moins

He often sought new environments to stimulate his creativity, visiting prisons, asylums, medical institutions and traveling locally and abroad.
Interesting how often he wrote to his friends, especially when traveling, then asking for his letters back when he got home.
He was a very energetic and controlling, with strong willpower and driving energy.
