8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A must read for anyone interested in Wagner, Bayreuth, and Thielemann.By Ken CaldeiraThis is a must read for anyone interested in Wagner, Bayreuth, and Thielemann.The first half of the book seems like it was drawn from conversations with Thielemann and is quite illuminating. The second half is largely plot synopses and, while useful and pleasant enough to read, seems like it was written largely by Thielemann's co-author, having less of a unique perspective.Anyone who likes to gobble up Wagneriana in its written form will be sure to read this book. My respect for Thielemann went up after reading this book.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Wagner from the insideBy Richard SmithThis an absolute must read for wagnerians. He is gentle but firm in his criticisms of how classical music is dying and how the pit at Bayreuth has a muting effect on the orchestra. I read this book while attending Bayreuth and could hear what he was talking about. It is also a superb cultural history and very detailed in its descriptions of the wagner experience. Also excellent recommended recordings.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very good.

One of today's most outstanding conductors, Christian Thielemann, composes a brilliant account of the great?and controversial?. Over a distinguished career some of the world's finest orchestras, Christian Thielemann has earned a reputation as the leading modern interpreter of Richard Wagner.My Life with Wagner chronicles his ardent personal and professional engagement with the great composer, whose work has shaped his thinking and feeling from early childhood. Thielemann retraces his journey around the world with Wagner?from Berlin to Bayreuth via Venice, Hamburg, and Chicago?and combines his analysis with revealing insights drawn from his many years of experience as a Wagner conductor.Thielemann discusses each of Wagner's operas in turn, and his appraisal is illuminated by a deep affinity for the music, an intimate knowledge of the scores, and the inside perspective of a world-class practitioner. And yet for all the adulation Wagner's art inspires, Thielemann does not shy away from unpalatable truths about the man himself, explaining why today Wagner is venerated and reviled in equal measure.My Life with Wagner is a richly rewarding read for admirers of a composer who continues to fascinate long after his death. ldquo;A sometimes enigmatic and always entertaining memoir, which is also part music history. Drawing on his years of conducting, Thielemann characterizes the evocative beauty and power of each of Wagnerrsquo;s operas. Thielemann masterfully orchestrates this colorful introduction to Wagnerrsquo;s music and its themes.rdquo; - Publishers Weeklyldquo;The real hero of the Bayreuth Ring is not Siegfried or Bruuml;nnhilde, but the conductor Christian Thielemann.rdquo; - Anthony Tommasini, The New York Timesldquo;Thielemann's revelations about the complexities of conducting are likely to enhance any music lover's listening experiences.rdquo; - Kirkus sldquo;Besides exploring Wagnerrsquo;s life and times, Thielemann provides useful commentary on each of the composerrsquo;s operas. A compelling take on what itrsquo;s like to stand at the podium, ready to set orchestra and singers in motion for a performance created by one of the worldrsquo;s greatest composers.rdquo; - Library Journalldquo;Thielemann's musical explorations are wonderful. His writing has achieved something notoriously difficult: the evocation of music in prose. My Life with Wagner has that peculiar, confidential value of a work written not be an academic, but by an artist submerged in the music.rdquo; - The Sunday Telegraphldquo;An act of homage and a revealing autobiography. An informative guide to the Wagner oeuvre. Thielemann's enthusiasm breathes life into these operas.rdquo; - The Economistldquo;Viscerally exposes the levels of perfectionism required in a virtuoso. Without alienating the lay reader, he gets across the complexity of a Wagner score and the infinite interpretive possibilities.rdquo; - The Independent (London)About the AuthorChristian Thielemann has been the conductor of the Deutsche Oper, the Philharmonic, and isthe current artistic director of the Salzburg Easter Festival.
