The First Hundred Years of Wagner鈥檚 Tristan

The First Hundred Years of Wagner鈥檚 Tristan

Role: Author
Written by a Tutor Emeritus of St. John鈥檚 College.

The 鈥渄angerous fascination鈥 of Wagner鈥檚 鈥淭ristan and Isolde,鈥 most explicitly described by Nietzsche, has affected audiences and private listeners for the last hundred years. Few works of music have exercised so great an influence, not only in the world of music, but on other forms of art and on people鈥檚 though and behavior as well. Elliott Zuckerman here discusses the rise and persistence of 鈥淭ristanism,鈥 from the time of the inception of the work to the present day.
