Maybe he is right. Try playing Brahms instead! Just kidding..sort of...not a Wagner fan here, he's more of a multi-media director than an composer of music."This wasn't the usual claim by students that classical music isn't music, it was an actual inability to make sense of a series of notes, chords, rhythm and tell it was music."
Are you sure he wasn't just saying that he didn't like it? That's what my parents meant when they said that what I listened to was noise.
Or, he may have been using the word noise to refer to dissonant sounds. Doesn't that piece start with a swirling cacophony, like the orchestra is tuning up? And, they weren't considered music by the general public back in Wagner's day either!
I don't think there is anything terribly interesting musically going on here. It's just a combination of cultural, subjective, possibly intellectual (he may just be too dull to recognize interesting harmonies) divergences.
