Classical Music Thread

I'm glad IH covered classical music a bit in his new video, Zoomers need a bit of culture.
 
I think people are so desperate to escape the incessant politicization of everything that even the woke will seize on something that is nearly impossible to politicize.

Until they do, of course.
Youre a cultured guy whats your favorite classical piece?
 
Wagner's so good that even Jews have to like him.
Daniel Barenboim did all of Wagner's mature operas (or Gesamtkunstwerk in Wagner's term) and the recordings are quite rightly acclaimed -- but then so are those by Christian Thielemann, who reportedly referred to Barenboim as "that jew".

Georg Solti's recordings of Wagner are the best that exist and he was a Hungarian Jew IIRC.
