Wagner: The Terrible Man and His Truthful Art

How is it possible for a seriously flawed human being to produce art that is good, true, and beautiful? Why is the art of Richard Wagner, a very imperfect man, important and even indispensable to us?In this volume, Father Owen Lee ventures an answer to those questions by way of a figure in Sophocles - the hero Philoctetes.

[ 5.0 stars ] "This small thin book is a wonderful antidote to the current politically correct trivialization of Wagner's cultural and artistic reputation. As is so often the case, genius is often paired with moral or personality defect. Father Lee writes that we can accept and enjoy the genius artist while still condemning the faulty, puny man. As such, a validation of everything that is human. Highly r ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "I like M. Owen Lee. He has balanced views of Wagner. He doesn't lavish praise on Wanger, but on the other hand doesn't dismiss him out of hand either. As a classicist, Fr.

[ 5.0 stars ] "Well, not really: it is hard to encapsulate one of the greatest artists of all time in a thin volume. But Father Lee,whom many will recall as one of the delights of the Texaco Metropolitcan Opera broad casts, does a very good job.Fr. Lee puts Wagner's shortcomings as a person -- shortcomings that he generally assumes his audience is well-familiar with -- in the kind of perspective afforded b ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Father M. Owen Lee, who is known for his erudite commentaries on Metropolitan Opera broadcasts has recently published another book about the Wagner's Ring Cycle, called "Athena Sings. Wagner and the Greeks." Father Lee is a Classics scholar, so it should be no surprise that the Greeks also inhabit "Wagner: The Terrible Man and His Truthful Art." One of the chief characters that Wagner is co ..." Courtesy by Amazon
