And he also has a beautiful, bass baritone singing voice.... have a listen to his Tosca scene with Pavarotti leading into "È lucevan le stelle". I believe Mehta is conducting this in a 'Live from Lincoln Center' performance.
very interesting question. I'd be almost tongue tied too to answer it! Being born Jewish,and a composer myself, I'd at least, try and put aside my bias.
I love this man...and I mean love. i love both his human intelligence....and his musical 'genius'.And his wife. I have the same prob with IrISH writers , Yeats and G.B.Shaw...both supporters of Mussolini and Eugenics. How horrendous is that ?!
My English is not good, but your voice is very beautiful... In Poland is papiers problem probably for Jewish people, but is very problems for Polands people (aussi - - - my English) 🌷
For all the references to Wagner's "lifelong antisemitism" (and YES, he did write a LOT of foolish antisemitic twaddle in the mid-1800s!), isn't it interesting to note that Hermann Levi - the son of a Rabbi, who studied in Mannheim and Leipzig, who once said, "Wagner is the best and noblest of men... I thank God daily for the privilege to be close to such a man. It is the most beautiful experience of my life" - was chosen by Wagner to CONDUCT THE PREMIER PERFOMANCE OF PARSIFAL, at Bayreuth, in 1882! Contemplate it!
It's quite interesting.. isn't it? (*character aside for this comment*) When I first heard Wagner, I was also unaware of the fact that he was an anti-semite... and I thought of his music as something that softened my heart and helped me lean towards forgiveness.. But as soon as I learned about his ideologies, I stopped listening to his music... It was then that I realized that we all have a perspective of good and bad (very basic stuff actually) and for Wagner, his music must've compelled him to enforce his offensive views even more... and for us (and by us, I mean all the normal good people), his music compels us to become more humane and sympathetic towards the other being...
Barenboim even conducted Wagner in Israel as well as in Bayreuth itself. This music is far bigger than much of the political narrative falsely ascribed to its opera libretti, and it is cheap to imply that the official usefulness of Wagner (nothing to do with understanding...) somehow made the composer a personal friend of the former leader of Germany. We MUST remember that Wagner had been dead for six years when that leader was born!
I can't help but respect her position on the issue, since it cuts to the core of moral values, whatever religion one might have. But I could still wish to persuade her to take more into account the fact that the staggering genius she clearly recognized herself in Wagner's music is really no different than Mozart's awe- and love-inspiring genius - particularly in one important respect: It comes from a different place than a human mind with all its imperfections.

That's funny, Toby!! The Wagner story.

@Pyotr illyich Tchaikovsky: Beautifully said sir, thank you. (Holland 2022)
Mahler enthusiastically conducted many Wagner operas while he was music director of the Vienna Opera.
Barenboim even conducted Wagner in Israel as well as in Bayreuth itself. This music is far bigger than much of the political narrative falsely ascribed to its opera libretti, and it is cheap to imply that the official usefulness of Wagner (nothing to do with understanding...) somehow made the composer a personal friend of the former leader of Germany. We MUST remember that Wagner had been dead for six years when that leader was born!
YES, and he literally whorshipped the "Wizard of Bayreuth!"
That was honest, I like Ms Toby.

Music is not a religious thing or a nationality...
