Canadian Music Store CD DetailsEdition: Music CDCD Release Date: 2005-09-13 Music Label: Decca Music reviews of An Introduction to Der Ring des NibelungenMusic Review: Essential and UnsurpassedThere's no other way to put it. Beside Cooke's landmark musical analysis, all other examinations of Wagner's Ring Cycle shrink to insignificance. This work is absolutely vital to anyone who'd genuinely grasp the unique musical language of this greatest of operatic masterpieces. Before Cooke, musical commentary was limited to pitiful motif lists. Analysts seem to have quite ignored Wagner's own belief the musical language of his vast tetralogy evolves organically. Cooke is the first to grasp and investigate this concept and, to this day, the only one to fathom it in so complete a manner. He presents his brilliant discoveries with succinct easily-grasped verbal explanations illustrated by sonic examples either from the great Solti recording, or created specially for this analysis, an unmistakable gauge of how much Sir Georg believed in Cooke's work. And rightly so, for it is the most revealing window ever opened onto the inner workings of Wagner's towering achievement.
