Wagner in London

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A feature by Bert Coules on Wagner's four-month visit to London in 1855, at the invitation of the Philharmonic Society.
With David Buck as Wagner
"I am living here like a damned soul in hell! I did not think I should ever again be obliged to sink so low. I realise now that it was simply a sin and a crime to accept this invitation to conduct in this city."
