Sir Thomas Beecham once called me an idiot, I think not deservedly. Other than that, he was a pretty good conductor.

Von Karajan, who joined in 1935, was a member of the Nazi Party.
Afterward, he was unrepentant.  I never bought any of his recordings

because I don't support Nazis, no matter what they are selling.
