2001nian 7月7日, 耶路撒冷举行的一场音乐会在以色列引起了轩然大波。世界著名指挥家丹尼尔. 巴伦博伊姆正在率领德国管弦乐团在以色列上演奏瓦格纳的音乐, 而瓦格纳是一个反犹太的德国作曲家, 也是希特勒最欣赏的音乐家。 建国以来的50多年里,以色列一直都有这么一条不成文的禁忌---不公开演出瓦格纳的任何作品。因为对许多以色列犹太人和二战大屠杀的幸存者来说,瓦格纳的音乐是和希特勒政权紧紧联系在一起的。尽管瓦格纳的作品在全世界范围内广为人知并广泛演出,但在以色列只要一提起瓦格纳就会激发人们的愤怒和谴责。
但巴伦博伊姆坚持认为,瓦格纳的反犹太主义思想既不能忽视,也不可简单地把它等同于他的音乐。他的音乐是由于它所具有的艺术价值而值得人们欣赏,一个民主的社会不应当阻止人们欣赏这样的作品。
