Re: Barenboim and Wagner

[David Baron <david_b...>]

Wagner as Jew-hater and Hitler's favorite. OK. Does not make his music good
or bad. Out of respect for those who suffered by his main fan, well, there
is lots of good music around.

While Wagner remains soooooo controversial, Jewish conductors and Israeli
orchestras find no problem in playing masses, church cantati, etc. While no
doubt, this is great music, it is forbidden for Jews and is, in any event,
irrelevant for us.
