"No other composer has been as vilified as Richard Wagner," notes The Observer,  "but on the eve of a new [Covent Garden] Ring cycle, it's time to ignore the prejudice and rejoice in his creations."

Too true, and with three different Rings happening in London at present, rejoicing in Wagner is almost becoming fashionable again.. The Observer makes a serious attempt to wrestle with the appeal of Richard Wagner and the 'glorious twilight of the romantic movement.'
