Story4.5 out of 5 stars 292
In these 24 lectures filled with musical excerpts, enjoy a rich and multifaceted exploration of the trailblazing works and outsized life of this historically pivotal composer. The sheer outlandishness of Wagner's life makes for an endlessly intriguing story, from his desperate escapades outrunning creditors to his obsessive personal relationships to his utopian artistic schemes.

Any additional comments?
If you put aside his politics and prejudices, Wagner's music is some of the most moving in the repertoire.
