EP8. Wagner's Ring and ecology. With Professor Michael Spitzer and musical illustrations by Kelvin Lim

Wagner fits within a German ecological tradition stretching from Von Humboldt through Haeckel and Himmler to the Greens. Can any of this be heard in the music itself? This talk will show you how.

This episode is a lecture by Professor Michael Spitzer, author of acclaimed book The Musical Human, with musical illustrations by Longborough's Ring cycle répétiteur Kelvin Lim, recorded at an event for Longborough members.

Longborough Festival Opera's 2023 season opens with Wagner's Götterdämmerung, part of a new Ring cycle conducted by eminent Wagnerian Anthony Negus. Find out more about Longborough Festival Opera at LFO.org.uk
