For once, I totally disagree with you. Wagner was a posterboy for Anti-Semitism. Hitler not only liked his music, but praised his writings, both direct and oblique, on Jews as tatamount to the Holy Grail of Aryanism. Wagner was a BAD man, he was also terribly gifted, but that does not excuse his views that were later expanded to iclude the extermination of an entire race to his music. Let's not marginalize Hitler or Wagner. As human beings, they were, in a word, pathetic.
