. . . and concentration camp denier? THAT Reginald Goodall?
As for his "Tristan", here's one person's comment from the link below:
While I can understand Goodall being a total idiot politically, what I can't fogive is his tempi in Wagner. I struggled through his Tristan and it's absurd how slow he takes the music. At a couple points, it simply unravels because of the fascist nutter's tempi. Awful, rivalled only by the appalling Bernstein recording. I strongly suspect that in Goodall's case, it's "the Gramophone effect" i.e. hype from British critics.
I hope he enjoys his stay for eternity in hell for his comment about Bergen-Belsen, however.
