• Bruno Walter in BBC Music listed as non-Jewish

    The Jewish conductor Bruno Walter was listed as a non-Jewish
    musician that left Nazi Germany for political reasons, from
    BBC Music Magazine, February issue page 39 "the escapees".

    What a relief! But not for Jewish collectors, who will have
    to decide whether to throw out their Walter recordings, so
    the box sets might come up cheap used, the ones that aren't
    ceremonially burned.

    The article was typical hand-wringing about the conductor
    Furtwangler, trying to calculate what percentage of evil
    and how much he is pro-Jewish, since Jewish politics are
    considered to be the only thing important in music.
