Great Dates 1 - 1874 Wagner - Part 4

Part 5:    • Great Dates 1 - 1874 Wagner - Part 5   Four part music history series originally broadcast by Channel 4 in the UK, Autumn 2002. Composer Howard Goodall links great pieces of music to the era in which they were written in a bid to prove that time, place, culture and politics had more of a part to play in the end product than the genius of the producer. He begins with a historical look at 1874, the year which saw the completion of Wagner's influential Ring cycle. As always, should these become commercially available i will remove them immediatly. If you enjoy this series please purchase the DVD to support the production of any future work.
