A superb new translation of one of the greatest nineteenth century poems: the libretto to Wagner's Ring cycle The scale and grandeur of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung has no precedent and no successor. It preoccupied Wagner for much of his adult life and revolutionized the nature of opera, the orchestra, the demands on singers and on the audience itself. The four operas-The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods - are complete worlds, conjuring up extraordinary mythological landscapes through sound as much as staging. Wagner wrote the entire libretto before embarking on the music. Discarding the grand choruses and bravura duets central to most operas, he used the largest musical forces in the context often of only a handful of singers on stage. The words were essential: he was telling a story and making an argument in a way that required absolute attention to what was said. The libretto for The Ring lies at the heart of nineteenth century culture. It is in itself a work of power and grandeur and it had an incalculable effect on European and specifically German culture. John Deathridge's superb new translation, with notes and a fascinating introduction, is essential for anyone who wishes to get to grips with one of the great musical experiences.

Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung is one of the greatest works of art created in modern times, and has fascinated both critics and devotees for over a century and a half. No recent study has examined the meaning of Wagner's masterpiece with the attention to detail and intellectual power that Roger Scruton brings to it in this inspiring account. The Ring of Truth is an exploration of the drama, music, symbolism and philosophy of the Ring from a writer whose knowledge and understanding of the Western musical tradition are the equal of his capacities as a philosopher. Scruton shows how, through musical connections and brilliant dramatic strokes, Wagner is able to express truths about the human condition which few other creative artists have been able to convey so convincingly. For Wagner, writes Scruton, the task of art is to 'show us freedom in its immediate, contingent, human form, reminding us of what it means to us. Even if we live in a world from which gods and heroes have disappeared we can, by imagining them, dramatize the deep truths of our condition and renew our faith in what we are.' Love, death, sacrifice and the liberation that we win through sacrifice - these are the great themes of the Ring, as they are of this book. Scruton's passionate and moving interpretation allows us to understand more fully than ever how Wagner conveys his ideas about who we are, and why the Ring continues to be such a hypnotically absorbing work.

A concise and easily-readable summary of the plot of the epic four-cycle Richard Wagner Opera, collectively known as the Ring of the Nibelung. Designed to make the plots of the four "cycles" (or dramatic operas) as easy to follow as possible, the author deals with each opera in its chronological order: The Rhine Gold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods. These four operas are based on stories in the Nibelungenlied, an epic poem in Middle High German drawn from ancient Germanic heroic motifs. The Nibelung of the title is the dwarf Alberich, and the ring in question is the one he forged from the Rhine Gold, a hoard held in trust by the Rhine Maidens. The storyline is centred on the fate that the ring-which possesses magical powers-has over its owners' destinies. The ring is stolen from Alberich by the chief of the gods, Wotan, with the assistance of the god Loge, but Wotan is in turn forced to hand it over to the giants Fafner and Fasolt as payment for the building of Valhalla. It is Wotan's scheming and efforts to regain the ring which make up much of the rest of the storyline. His grandson, the mortal Siegfried, eventually takes the ring after killing Fafner (who first killed Fasolt for possession of the ring), but the hero Siegfried is himself killed as a result of treachery by Alberich's son Hagen. In the dramatic final opera, the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, who is also Siegfried's lover and Wotan's daughter, returns the ring to the Rhine maidens as she commits suicide on Siegfried's funeral pyre-and Hagen is drowned in an attempt to recover the ring. At the same time, the gods and Valhalla are destroyed in a mighty final scene, the Götterdämmerung. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to gain a primary understanding of the storyline and meaning of the various operas of the Ring, and perfect as an introduction to the Wagnerian culture.
