Barenboim claimed to be totally unaware of the virulent anti-semitism
(read Judenhass) of Richard Wagner several years ago and from what I
read at that time it seems that only his friend Prof. Said let him in
on the secret. If this is true, we have here a very naive man indeed.
I had the article on my old computer and therefore cannot at the moment
send it to anyone until I transfer my files. I do believe that if some
musicians from Egypt, let us say, were also coming to Israel to give
concerts, the matter might be different. But it is only Mr. Barenboim
going to the other side. This is a very complex matter and I would not
discuss it on a music list normally. I simply feel the need to be one
voice of doubt in this possible propaganda message.
