Marc Weiner's book is an excellent book if you want to know more about
a composers's life in it's time or the context. Musically, Historically,
Philosophically and Psychologically he knows exactly where he's talking
about. His sources are: Darwin, Mosse, Bloch, Adorno, Theleweit,
Taruskin, Mann, Said, Wagner and many more. Of course it's a book written
on a scientific base and naturally you have to keep in mind it's -also- a
book about anti-semitism for it bears the description Richard Wagner and
the Anti-Semitic Imagination. It's a nice readable book.
