Reviews

a masterpiece, all told the best book on Wagner I have ever read
*Literary Review*

After reading this book, only the most unadventurous reader would turn down the chance to see Wagner's masterpiece.
*Economist*

Roger Scruton is in many ways the ideal interpreter of the Ring
*The Sunday Times*

Highly original and penetrating ... he writes about the music authoritatively but comprehensibly... lucidly, cogently and even entertainingly

Admirably lucid ... a perceptive and detailed account ... constantly enlightening commentary
