I think Wagner’s music was banned in Israel for a number of decades.
It was an unofficial ban. People were free to listen to it at home it just wasn’t played in large measure in public.
See, I don’t like that, Locke. Wagner’s music is so glorious it MUST have come from God, regardless of how man has twisted it. Beethoven was well known to be an a-hole but he wrote the music of the angels.
