Yes we do. Ironically, Wagner's music has been very closely associated with
Jewish musicians from the start. Hermann Levy, who conducted the premieres of
the last several operas, was of course Jewish. And then there all of the
Jewish (or at least Jewish-born) conductors of this century who were great
Wagnerians

Fritz Reiner
Bruno Walter
Otto Klemperer
Georg Solti
Lorin Maazel
Daniel Barenboim
James Levine
and others I can't remember
