Hello all, Correct me if I'm wrong and I really don't won't to continue the
Karajan/Nazi discussion any further; but I believe somebody mentioned that
Richard Strauss was also a member of the party.  It was my understanding
that he remained neutral, as it were.  Due to this, however, he spent the
majority of the post-war days in Switzerland.

It's really a pity that individuals who can create such beauty can be
associated with insane political ideology.

Regards, Iain
