Regarding the merit of Goodall, it's all purely subjective. Some people believe that he was the greatest Wagner conductor ever. When I first heard his Ring something happened to me that was even bigger than my hitherto own personal ''Wagner Moment", which was hearing Furtwangler's Tristan. What I can't stick, like you yawn at the Karajan Nazi party comments, is the people who crawl out of the woodwork every time, to tell us all that Goodall held some odious views. We know that. It's banal. If you're worried about anti-semitism and fascism, just look out the window.
