Wagner's 'Lohengrin' is described as a 'great romantic opera' in which Wagner opens up two completely different worlds for the listener. On the one hand, there is the mystical world of the Knight of the Grail which could be described as embodiment of the Christian element in 'Lohengrin', and on the other hand, there is the opposing magical world of Ortrud. Wagner had studied the origins of the medieval legend of the Knight of the Swan intensively for years, with Wolfram von Eschenbach's work certainly being the best source for Wagner's libretto.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

Tristan und Isolde ist in der inneren Dimension schwer zu messen. Kein anderes der Musikdramen Wagners ist so vollig auf ein einziges Thema konzentriert, verzichtet so weitgehend auf theatralische Handlung und ist so ausschliesslich auf den Ausdruck tiefster Gefuhle angelegt: die Liebe zweier Menschen, die bis in den Tod dauert. Wagner schuf hier neuartige Musik, an deren Beginn ein Akkord ohne tonale Bindung steht, so dass von einem der Anfange der Neuen Musik gesprochen werden kann. Lange Zeit musste der Komponist nach einem Urauffuhrungstheater fur dieses Werk suchen, bis Konig Ludwig II. von Bayern es 1885 in Munchen unter Hans von Bulow urauffuhren liess. Tristan und Isole wurde fur alle Zeiten ein Bekenntnis zur ewigen Welt der Gefuhle, zum Sieg des Humanismus uber den Materialismus.Dieses Buch enthalt neben dem Textbuch einfuhrende Kommentare von Kurt Pahlen. Er begleitet das musikalische und das aussere wie innere dramatische Geschehen der Oper mit Hinweisen zu kompositorischer Struktur und Sinnzusammenhang. Eine kurze Inhaltsangabe und ein Abriss der Entstehungsgeschichte stellen das Werk in einen Zusammenhang mit dem Gesamtschaffen des Komponisten und seiner Biographie und bieten eine umfassende, reich illustrierte Einfuhrung.

Although 'Rhinegold', like any of the following three parts, is a drama on its own, it reveals its entire meaning only as introduction to the complete work. In 'The Nibelung's Ring', Wagner used his own word creations the principal characteristics of which are effective alliterations. For the first time, this first part of the 'Ring' also contains the 'reminiscence motifs' (it was not until after Wagner's death that Hans von Wolzogen invented the expression of the 'leitmotif' as it is used today).Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

'Twilight of the Gods', the Third Day, brings Wagner's Ring cycle with an evening and three days, all full-length performances lasting for hours, to an end. Everything that has happened in the parts before is now brought to a close. Brunhilde and Siegfried burn to death together 'in a purifying fire'; they are redeemed in the highest union. A whole epoch is inevitably nearing its end: The world of men and the realm of the gods are hopelessly corrupt, only a new beginning after the total breakdown can lead to a whole new world.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera.
