With the publication of Volume 11 in November 1999, Werner Breigs fundamentally new scholarly concept of Richard Wagners complete letters begins to make itself felt more strongly. The meticulously annotated volumes are illustrated with facsimiles and little known photos. Further enhancing the value of this edition are a number of letters, which were hitherto practically unavailable and are published here for the first time. The commentaries are based on many previously unpublished documents.

Concerning Volume 10 (published one year later than Volume 11) we have obtained the following fax by the English Wagner expert Stewart Spencer, who wittily praises Werner Breig's fundamental new concept:

There is a general problem of reviewing such magnificent volumes. They are the yardstick by which all other writings on Wagner will be judged. It is like sending someone to inspect the standard metre rule in Paris and asking them to review it. All one can say is that it exists and that it is in a class of its own. I'd like to congratulate you on its publication and thank you most warmly for picking up this edition. (Stewart Spencer, October 11, 2000)

Im Sommer 1861 kommt es zur endgultigen Trennung des Ehepaars Wagner. Nach Auflosung des gemeinsamen Pariser Haushalts lasst sich Minna Wagner in Dresden nieder wo sie ihre letzten Lebensjahre verbringt. All dies ist in den Briefen detailliert nachzulesen daneben aber auch die kunstlerischen Erfolge des Jahres: In Frankfurt dirigiert Wagner zum ersten Mal seinen ,,Lohengrin (zwolf Jahre nach der Urauffuhrung!) in Leipzig stellt er die ,,Meistersinger-Ouverture vor und in Wien veranstaltet er Konzerte mit Szenen aus seinen Opern. Biographisch einschneidend sind die vollstandige Amnestierung - nun darf Wagner auch wieder den Boden seiner sachsischen Heimat betreten - sowie die weitere Entfremdung und schliesslich die endgultige Trennung von seiner Ehefrau Minna.

With the publication of Volume 11 in November 1999, Werner Breig's fundamentally new scholarly concept begins to make itself felt more strongly. All editorial differences aside: with respect to their contents, Volumes 9-11 can be neatly categorized as the Tristan letters volumes, the genesis of each act of Tristan und Isolde can be assigned to one specific chronological section. Wagner was working on the first act (beginnung his correspondance with Mathilde Wesendonck at the same time) in Zurich during the period of the letters compiled in Volume 9. Volume 10 plays in Venice and documents the origin of the second act. And in Volume 11, the reader can relive the completion of the epoch-making stage work in the letters Wagner sent from Lucerne. Concerning this Volume we have obtained the following fax by the English Wagner expert Stewart Spencer, who wittily praises Werner Breig's fundamental new concept: There is a general problem of reviewing such magnificent volumes. They are the yardstick by which all other writings on Wagner will be judged. It is like sending someone to inspect the standard metre rule in Paris and asking them to review it.

The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001. Book. Music History. Softcover Audio Online. 384 pages. Published by Rowman & Littlefield (HL.380545).

Nirvana, the White Stripes, Hole, the Hives - all sprang from an underground music scene where similarly raw bands, enjoying various degrees of success and luck, played for throngs of fans in venues ranging from dive bars to massive festivals, but were mostly ignored by a music industry focused on mega-bands and shiny pop stars. We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001 tracks the inspiration and beautiful destruction of this largely undocumented movement. What they took, they fought for, every night. They reveled in '50s rock 'n' roll, '60s garage rock, and '70s punk while creating their own wave of gut-busting riffs and rhythm. The majority of bands that populate this book - the Gories, the Supersuckers, the Dwarves, the Mummies, Rocket from the Crypt, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and the Muffs among them - gained little long-term reward from their nonstop touring and brain-slapping records. What they did have was free liquor, cheap drugs, chaotic romances, and a crazy good time, all the while building a dedicated fan base that extends across the world. Truly, this is the last great wave of down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll. Includes access to a twenty-song playlist for streaming!
