Question Richard Wagner

I went to a performance of the BSO recently, and one of the pieces they played was Wagner’s “Siegfried Idyll”. Conductor Jun Märkl produced a grand, and at times tender, romantic sound from the orchestra – beautiful perhaps.

I am never able to reconcile how this person could have been both the harsh anti-Semite, spewing hatred towards Jews, and at the same time the composer of such engaging, hopeful, and loving music. Humans are mysterious creatures.
