i'm sorry but richard wagner was an asshole, and even he made great music i
cann't stop thinking about what he was STANDING for. of course there are
many artists who separate their work from their politicaly or moral
background but RW didn't.
he was a tool in the hands of hitler because he shared hitlers ideology -
and if i listen to his music i cann't enjoy the harmony, the poetry, the
rhythm...
