To stretch this point even further, is the
brilliance of 'Parsifal' tarnished by
Wagner's apparent anti-semitism? Of course not.
Personally, I think the important considerations
are of the the (perhaps subjective) 'Fundament'
behind the work, and not necessarily the work
itself (Hitler also ate food - should we starve
ourselves becasue food can be assosiated with nazism?..etc).
