1.任何人只要有一丝半点的不同意见,即使再微不足道,也足够让他高谈阔论几个钟头,
用他那十分累人的雄辩从多方面论证自己是正确的,结果是他的听众听得目瞪口呆,两耳
震聋,为了息事宁人,只好顺从他。
2.他发出了几十封哀求信,甚至不知廉耻地向人献媚,有时他又会将对自己的支持作为
某种特权高傲地赏赐给他希望得到的资助人,一旦这份荣耀被人拒绝,他又会深感被人冒
犯。
3.如果有人仰慕他的作品,能够并且愿意为他所用,他就会动用各种关系,想尽办法见
上一面;可是他又会因为表示出某种愚蠢的、毫无意义的傲慢和无礼而树立死敌。
4.这简直就是一个让人难以言表的奇迹,他那可怜的大脑和身体竟然没有在如此强大的
创造力的折磨下崩溃,这个恶魔挣扎着,抓挠着要挣脱出来,撕扯着,尖叫着,想要他把
内心的音乐谱写出来。

2001年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。世界着名指
挥家DanielBarenboim率领德国管弦乐团在以色列艺术节上正在演奏瓦格纳的音乐,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。建国以来的五十多年里,
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。因为对许多犹太
人和大屠杀幸存者来说,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到处演出,但在以色列只要一提起瓦格纳就会激起人们的
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。
