A concert put on by the Israeli Symphony Orchestra in the early 2000's promoted the works of Richard Wagner, a renowned Anti-Semite and Hitler's personal favorite composer. The idea was that Wagner's works be performed as a way to bulk that particular taboo and let sleeping dogs lie. In the audience there was an older man in attendance. He was a concentration camp survivor and he'd gone to this performance specifically to voice his protest. Right in the very middle of a soaring, sweeping, epic performance of Wagner's finest work, this man stood up and rang off a football rattle, upsetting the music and paying homage to millions lost to a horrific regime.
@MaxwellHB Maxwell, why indeed.
Short of ordering the album online, do you have any idea where I can get the sleeve notes for this album. WYSIWYG's sleeve notes left me in quite depressed slump but they add a lot to the album.
But I would love the back story to this album. Like "Ratatay" and "Dance Idiot dance" (Nick Clegg?)

This is based on a true story.
