MunichAfter a controversial article about pianist Igor Levit, the editor-in-chief of the Süddeutsche Zeitung apologized. Editor-in-chief Wolfgang Krach and editor-in-chief Judith Wittwer wrote in an article: “Many of our readers are highly critical of this publication and are outraged. Some see the text as anti-Semitic, others see Levite as an artist and as a human being. He sees it that way too. We are sorry and therefore personally apologize to Igor Levit and our readers. “
The article was published on Friday with the headline “Igor Levit is tired.” The report is about how the Russian-German pianist presents himself on Twitter. After the post, Levit tweeted: “The article on @SZ hit me.” There was criticism from many sides on the Internet. Krach and Wittwer emphasized that there were controversial discussions about the article in their own editorial team.
“There is harsh criticism in the editorial team of the term ‘victim claim ideology,’ which according to the writing of the text, is related to social media in general, but can be understood to apply to Levit,” said Krach and Wittwer. Levit comes from a Jewish family. The editor-in-chief further announced: “The question of what and how we can learn from the case will continue to occupy us.”
