Protest Erupts
Over Music
Tel Aviv (JTA) — A public
furor has arisen over the
Israel Philharmonic Or-
chestra's announcement
that it will perform two
works by Richard Wagner in
a special concert later this
month.
The state-sponsored or-
chestra in fact voted 39-12,
with nine abstentions, to lift
its ban on the works of the
19th-century German com-
poser, an avowed anti-
Semite whose music was
idolized by Adolf Hitler.
They decided to include
the overtures to the operas
The Flying Dutchman and
Tristan and Isolde in the
program of the concert to be
conducted by Israeli conduc-
tor Daniel Barenboim.
The IPO management
agreed to excuse any mem-
ber of the orchestra who does
not want to take part.
But Knesset Speaker Dov
Shilansky, a Holocaust sur-
vivor, begged the orchestra
to reverse itself in the name
of "countless other Jews af-
fected by the Holocaust"
who would be insulted if
Israel's national orchestra
played Wagner.
The battle is not a new one
in Israel. Many music lovers
argue that great music
should not be banned be-
cause the composer was a
vile person. Others insist
that anything redolent of
Nazism has no place in the
Jewish state.
The IPO predates the
state, founded in 1936 by
Bronislaw Huberman as the
Palestine Philharmonic.
Wagner was on the program
of a concert it gave in Tel
Aviv in 1938 under the
baton of the anti-fascist
Italian, Arturo Toscanini.
The orchestra played
Wagner on a concert tour of
Egypt during World War II.
Ten years ago, the IPO's
Indian-born musical direc-
tor, Zubin Mehta, attempted
to include Wagner as an en-
core piece at a public con-
cert. Much of the audience
walked out.
Wagner raised another
storm when it was played
again at a special Friday
afternoon concert several
years ago.
Mr. Mehta and Mr. Baren-
boim say any orchestra
which does not have Wagner
in its repertoire is not an or-
chestra in the full musical
sense of the word. They
pointed out that the upcom-
ing concert is not part of the
subscription series, so no one
will feel Wagner is being
forced on them.
