Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung: A Companion

"An important work for Wagnerites and musical scholars."â€•Choice
There had long been a need for a modern English translation of Wagnerâ€™s Ringâ€•a version that would be reliable and readable yet at the same time be a true reflection of the literary quality of the German libretto. First published in 1993, this acclaimed translation, which follows the verse form of the original exactly, filled that niche. It reads smoothly and idiomatically, yet is the result of prolonged thought and deep back- ground knowledge.

The translation is accompanied by Stewart Spencerâ€™s introductory essay on the libretto and a series of specially commissioned texts by Barry Millington, Roger Hollinrake, Elizabeth Magee, and Warren Darcy that discuss the cycleâ€™s musical structure, philosophical implications, medieval sources, and Wagnerâ€™s own changing attitude to its meaning. With a glossary of names, a review of audio and video recordings, and a select bibliography, this book is an essential complement to Wagnerâ€™s great epic. 16 black-and-white illustrations
