JERUSALEM — An Israeli orchestra will perform works by Adolf Hitler's favorite composer, Richard Wagner, in a taboo-breaking concert in Germany next year, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The Israel Chamber Orchestra will play works by Wagner at the Bayreuth festival in Germany in July, spokeswoman Meirav Magen Lelie said. It will be the first time an Israeli orchestra has played Wagner in Germany.
Since its founding in 1948, Israel has observed an informal ban on Wagner's music because of its use in Nazi propaganda before and during World War II.

I didn't know that Wagner is banned-ish in Israel. But this is pretty cool. Like the spokeswoman says, music should be appreciated for what it is.

Burzum, for example, is a crazy right-wing neo-nazi, but I totally enjoy his music.

Varg, for example, is a bat-shit crazy right-wing neo-nazi, but I totally enjoy his music.

FTFY

[Adami]

I didn't know Wagner was Hitlers favorite. I love Wagner. I'd kill to see his stuff performed.


By the way, it's a poor choice of words to say Wagner is "banned-ish" in Israel. It's just kind of Taboo. It's not banned in the slightest bit.

[El Barto]

Yeah, they played some of his music in Israel a few years ago and it was big news.  I think they might have staged the Ring Cycle.  Personally, I'd consider that yet another atrocity, but that's just me. 

And yeah, Hitler got off pretty hard on Wagner.  His music was, of course, highly nationalistic.

It's weird then, I love Hitlers favorite music, and I love his favorite movie.

Well that would be awkward. Especially if we decide to tell the children.

Well what would be more fitting than for him to be reincarnated as a jew? None the less an Israeli jew.

Wasn't he like 1/16th jewish already though?

[Adami]

Most jews don't care about 1/16th jewish. You're either jewish, or you're not. It's mostly the non jews who care about any sort of fractions.

I think this is great. What better middle finger could you give to antisemitism than this?
