Secret passion

Soulful strains: Music fan.

A record collection said to have once belonged to Adolf Hitler suggests the infamous German leader may have liked many famed Jewish and Russian musicians. A recently unearthed record collection suggests he may have been a fan of those cultures’ music greats, said The New York Times. The records were found recently in the home of a former Soviet intelligence officer, along with a note that alleged the recordings were once Hitler’s personal pro perty. Some of the noted musicians whose works were included in the collection were Polish Jewish violinist Bronislaw Huberman and Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In the note accompanying the collection, Lev Besymenski alleged that he took the records from Hitler’s Berlin office in 1945.
