Israeli radio station sorry for playing ‘taboo’ music of Richard Wagner, Hitler’s favourite composer

The music of Wagner is infused with anti-Semitism, misogyny and proto-Nazi ideas of racial purity

Israel’s public broadcaster has broken a taboo on playing the music of anti-Semitic composer Richard Wagner, apologising on Sunday for what it called an “error”.

The drama occurred on Friday, when the Voice of Music, the classical music radio station for the Kan broadcasting corporation, played part of Wagner’s Goetterdaemmerung (Twilight of the Gods) opera.

The Jew, Hermann Levi said of Wagner: "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"
