Came in for a wee listen to Wagner and yet again find Nazis, Jews and even a new one for me , abortion - why can't you people bugger off to political argument rooms and leave the music alone!

People often take a long time in die in many works of art, be it musical or visual, but only in a Wagner opera would a man take this long to die, AND the fellows who killed him would allow him to sing for so long.

@heyyywhynot I completly agree. He was a traitor, a womanizer, did'nt pay his debts, a anti-Semitic fanatic, as many contemporaries, he cheated on his benefactor and left his wife. A terrible person (and I am not Jewish). But this music is so beautiful and powerful.

I'm Jewish. Wagner the person was a total dick. Wagner the composer was fucking incredible.

All trollers will be long dead and Wagner's music will live on with the triumphant movement of this piece at the end!!!!

The trumpets in here sound kind of nasally and almost synthesized, but its still overall good. I think Wilhelm Furtwanglers version is still the greatest.

The synagogue built in Rhodes under the Romans was later.destroyed by the Greeks Their anti semitism is in their eyes justified for the killing of christ by the Jews Let it be said that not one Jew perished in Bulgaria because of anti semitism,and that Italy assimilated their Jews during those troubled times saving them from death.

@Kuner1 -For reasons of which I am not aware in particular the Nazi hate for Poles was intense It was not so towards oiker East or Central European nations.I'd love to no the reason for this.Also anti semitism was more rampant in the Ukraine then it ever was in Germany.The same could also be said of Austria.The Greeks were also terribly anti semitic and once burnt down all the Jewish institutions in Thessaloniki.I believe there to have been 38 structures mysteriouly set afire at the same time.
