Richard Baker tells the stories behind 1,000 years of great music. Richard Wagner , with a previous wife and numerous affairs to his credit, eventually married Franz Liszt 's illegitimate daughter Cosima, stealing her away from the conductor Hans von Bulow. This astonishing woman died as recently as 1930, having ensured the continuation of Wagner's theatre at Bayreuth.
