Wagner the Mystic by John J. Pohanka
"The overcoming of all unusual barriers between the individual and the Absolute is the great mystic achievement." --- William James
In this important new work, John Pohanka presents a innovative survey of the Wagner's aesthetic and philosophical development, within the historical context of mysticism. Articulately written, and comprehensively documented, both from Wagner's own writings, and from an authoritative host of western and eastern philosophers, poets and musicians, Pohanka has given us an invaluable insight into the question: Why does Wagner's music affect us like no other?
Wagner the Mystic is available from the Wagner Society of Washington DC. $19.95. Click here for further information.
Now available on DVD: Wagner's Music Dramas and the Jews
Saul Lilienstein's groundbreaking lecture, presented by the Wagner Society of Washington DC on March 4, 2010, is now available on DVD. The price is $15, and the DVD can be purchased by contacting the Wagner Society or by clicking here.
