Clearly, Wagner was anti Semitic nut case whose politics and influence were detrimental to his country (as witnessed by the rather mysterious death of his king), but his music is WONDERFUL and that's why I play it. That, plus the music director picked it out. If Hitler and the Nazi's are the criteria, Wagner is even played in Israel nowadays.

My 1 cent.
