This 5-volume collection focuses on the operatic and orchestral works of J.S. Bach and Richard Wagner. Wagner and Bach, despite belonging to different musical eras and styles, share a few common elements in their music. Both composers were masters of intricate and complex counterpoint, demonstrating exceptional skill in weaving multiple melodic lines together harmoniously.

Additionally, both Wagner and Bach were highly influential in shaping the musical forms of their respective periods; Bach, a Baroque composer, laid the groundwork for many compositional techniques, while Wagner, a Romantic composer, pushed the boundaries of traditional tonality and musical expression. Their works continue to be celebrated for their depth, complexity, and lasting impact on the world of classical music.

This collection is absolutely extensive; if you are interested in these two composers, it is a must-have. Take a look at some sample pages and then click above for an immediate PDF download.
