Schofield, Paul. The redeemer reborn: Parsifal as the fifth opera of Wagner's Ring. New York: Amadeus Press, 2007, 307pp., very good dust-jacket, very good black cloth. "The redeemer of the title is Parsifal, reborn in Wagner's opera of the same name from Siegfried of Der Ring des Nibelungen. More than a metaphor, this rebirth is a true spiritual, musical, and dramatic reincarnation that reflects Wagner's profound knowledge of and belief in Buddhism. From his unique perspective as a Wagnerian and a Buddhist monk, Paul Schofield traces the textual, thematic, and musical links between the Ring and Parsifal to show that the composer clearly, if not explicitly, intended his last opera as the fifth work in the Ring tetralogy." "The depth of Wagner's understanding of Buddhism, paired with his unfailing artistic intuition, enabled him both to unite and transcend the Ring's and Parsifal's diverse influences - Schopenhauer and Greek tragedy, Teutonic mythology and Arthurian legend, Mystery religions and Christianity, Chretien and Wolfram. The author explores the relationship of this expanded Ring not only to Tristan und Isolde, but also to the composer's uncompleted but specifically Buddhist opera Die Sieger. He lays bare the means by which Alberich, Wotan, Brunnhilde, and Siegfried, once in pursuit of gold, power, and glory, are reborn as Klingsor, Amfortas, Kundry, and Parsifal to pursue instead the path to enlightenment, finally reuniting in the land of Monsalvat the stolen Spear with the Holy Grail." (jacket flap text) - CONTENTS: The journey begins -- Die Sieger : the forerunner of Parsifal -- The Ring and Parsifal as one work -- Tragedy as mysticism -- Wagner and the grail -- Parzival -- The separation and reunion of the spear and grail.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 500 pages. Published in 2010. Retrospective collection of book-length accounts. Now widely regarded as one of the finest modern Introductions to the music of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. The first appearance of the individual titles in a Slipcased Set Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as softcover originals only. Should not be confused with the individual volumes. Encased in a sturdy hard board slipcase. Without DJ's, as issued. Presents, in an elegant boxed set, "Unlocking The Masters". The music of The Three B's, in accessible, illuminating book-length Introductions that scholars, musicians, and listeners alike will find engaging and indispensable. "Along with Beethoven's sonatas and the purely idiomatic works for piano of Chopin and Debussy, the solo keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach represents the heart of the pianist's repertory; in the more specialized field of music for the organ, Bach's primacy is beyond challenge. The composer's tendency to work exhaustively in tightly structured formats, such as the Forty-Eight Preludes and Fugues of The Well-Tempered Clavier, provides a natural framework for this study, but the power, beauty, high polish, and occasionally, the sheer strangeness of Bach's imagination are also carefully examined" (Publisher's blurb on Bach). "Shows how he bridged the Classical and Romantic Eras. Readers are treated to a detailed nuts-and-bolts description of each of the nine Beethoven symphonies. Perfect for anyone who wants to read, listen, and learn more about Beethoven, and discover how this musical genius changed the face of orchestral music forever" (On Beethoven). Explores in depth the composer's private world of musical intimacies that infuriated Wagner but inspired Schumann, Schoenberg, and millions of music lovers for generations to come. Addresses a controversial issue long-neglected by biographers and critics: Did Brahms sire an illegitimate child, and in the absence of concrete evidence, did he leave behind clues in his allusion-rich music?" (On Brahms). The point of listening to truly great music is to discover and experience, in all its richness and fullness, a particular and unique "sound world". It is not just about un-knotting music's closely intertwined elements (melody, rhythm, harmony, tonal color/instrumentation) and as pleasurable as listening to various song traditions can be, the "sound world" offers a much more complex (therefore demanding) fusion never heard before or not heard before with the same emphasis, intensity, and beauty. An absolute "must-have" title for Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms listener/collectors. This title is a classic.
