Critiques

Para bien o para mal, Wagner es la figura más influyente en la historia de la música. Creaciones tan colosales como E l anillo del Nibelungo, Tristán e Isolda y Parsifal sirvieron en el arte como modelos de obras osadas en la forma, como ejemplos en la creación de mitos, la libertad erótica y especulación mística. En Wagnerismo, Alex Ross restaura la magnífica confusión de lo que significa ser wagneriano: un pandemonio de genios, locos y profetas que luchan por el legado multifacético del compositor, y convierte la experiencia de lectura en un constante descubrimiento a través de esas figuras, de Nietzsche, Van Gogh, Dalí y Buñuel a Baudelaire, Virginia Woolf o Proust. En muchos sentidos, Wagnerismo cuenta una historia trágica. Un artista que podría haber rivalizado con Shakespeare en alcance universal se ve arruinado por una ideología de odio. Aun así, su sombra perdura sobre la cultura del siglo XXI y sus motivos míticos recorren películas de superhéroes y fantasía.

I've always been pretty dubious about music of the 20th century and usually come at it with some trepidation and prepare to not like it. A friend read this and I decided to give it a read to try and be a bit more open minded. I think he changed my mind somewhat on the pre-WWII music but I remain unchanged on post WWII and especially into the 60s and 70s. Nothing he said made me want to listen to any of the music despite his obvious praise and fondness. However, the overall book was both well-written and informative and despite dragging at the end for me, with music I cared nothing about, it was well worth the read. Also, Pierre Boulez sounds like a difficult bully.… (plus d'informations)
