    He should be playing all Strauss and Wagner and other Nazi sympathizers and known anti-Semites. He should be fired.

  • Beinisch says:

    He is wonderful as a musician and as a human being

  • Man of Kent says:

    Wow, Alan Ridout is out of left field. I love Ridout’s music, but never guessed it would pop up in Vienna.

  • Roger Rocco says:

    Bravo maestro!
