I’ll mention James Levine.
His professional demise was sudden and shocking.
I’m sure his actual demise was accelerated by the scandal.
I know, among musicians, for years there were stories of his inappropriate behavior with children. I had no idea how extensive it was until the scandal broke.
In my opinion, he was one of the best conductors around. Practically a fixture at the Met, he led the world’s greatest orchestras and made many excellent recordings, especially of Mahler, which I own.
Should you throw away his records?. A Times reviewer spoke to this point years ago. Should his bad behavior color our view of him as an artist? Are his accomplishments all for naught?
I think not. But you may think differently
