Wagner’s sick mind aside, I just don’t like his music. But German/Austrian compositions of the late romantic era (Wagner, R. Strauss, Mahler, Brahms, Bruckner, etc.) aren’t my cup of tea in general.
Yep. I do love some Romantic, especially Tchaikovsky.
I tend to agree with Gioachino Rossini (William Tell, Barber of Seville) who said, “Monsieur Wagner has good moments, but awful quarters of an hour!”
