Wagner's so good that even Jews have to like him.
Daniel Barenboim did all of Wagner's mature operas (or Gesamtkunstwerk in Wagner's term) and the recordings are quite rightly acclaimed -- but then so are those by Christian Thielemann, who reportedly referred to Barenboim as "that jew".

Georg Solti's recordings of Wagner are the best that exist and he was a Hungarian Jew IIRC.
