2001年7月7日，耶路撒冷举行的一场音乐会在以色列引起了轩然大波。世
界著名指挥家Daniel Barenboim率领德国管弦乐团在以色列艺术节上正在演奏瓦格纳的音乐，而瓦格纳是一个反犹太的德国作曲家，也是希特勒最欣赏的音乐家。建国以来的五十多年里，以色列一直都有这么一条不成文的禁忌---不公开演奏瓦格纳的任何作品。因为对许多以色列犹太人和大屠杀幸存者来说，瓦格纳的音乐是和希特勒政权紧紧联系在一起的。尽管瓦格纳的作品在全世界范围内广为人知并到处演出，但在以色列只要一提起瓦格纳就会激起人们的愤怒和谴责。
但Barenboim坚持认为，瓦格纳的反犹太主义思想既不能忽视，也不可简单地等同于他的音乐。他的音乐因其艺术价值值得人们欣赏，一个民主的社会不应当禁止人们欣赏这样的作品。

As one of the key figures in the history of opera, Richard Wagner was largely responsible for altering its orientation in the 19th century. His program of artistic reform, though not executed to the last detail, accelerated the trend towards organically conceived structures, as well as influencing the development of the orchestral, of a new breed of singers, and of various aspects of theatrical practice. As the most influential composer during the second half of the 19th century, his conception of music remains very much with us even a century after his death. His style of the orchestration can be heard in many movie scores. Wagner thought his music dramas were to be the models for the 20th-century opera, but
he could not foresee the path of total abandonment of tonality that was to revolutionized music in the early 20th century.
