Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883

I don't see anything in English by Wagner. Here are a bunch of books.

The dusk of the gods
Tristan and Ysolde
The Rhine-gold
Tannhäuser and the minstrels' tournament on the Wartburg
The master-singers of Nuremberg
Lohengrin
Rienzi : the last of the Tribunes

This was suggested a long time ago but I have now done a recording of Tannhäuser.

Update on Wagner recordings in English.
I have BCed a Dramatic Reading of Tristan and Isolde and am currently doing one of The Flying Dutchman. Brian Fullen has BCed the 4 Ring operas. All of these are in English translations.
I have texts of Parsifal and Lohengrin ready for when (and if) I feel up to doing them. They are big jobs. If anyone is willing to help DPL or edit one these I might give it a go.
