Daniel Barenboim

Piano

Daniel Barenboim (born November 15, 1942) is an Argentinean-Israeli pianist and conductor. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina; his parents were Russian Jews. He holds both Israeli and Spanish citizenship.

Barenboim first came to fame as a pianist but now is as well-known as a conductor, and for his work with mixed orchestras of Arabs and Jews, and for his collaboration with Palestinian activist Edward Said.

In 2001, Barenboim sparked a controversy in Israel by conducting the music of Wagner.

Le Banquet Céleste

Olivier Latry (organ)

Herbert von Karajan isn’t alone in celebrating his 100th birthday this year. Among composers whose 100th anniversary falls in 2008, Olivier Messiaen (10 December) is definitely the most important To whet your appetites for further releases in this anniversary year, here is a 1-CD midprice compilation of Messiaen’s ecstatic slow movements: a sequence of eight movements from major works that together make an unforgettable impression: supple in rhythm, subtle in melody and incredibly rich in harmony. Almost like variations on a theme (with plenty of F sharp major too!), the 70-minute disc is uniquely relaxing and moving at the same time – by no means the usual pot-pourri compilation.

“Much as I appreciate his energy and inquisitive spirit in this music, I tend to find Barenboim's palette of colour to be unlovely and monochromatic, and in this live setting he sometimes batters the piano in a practically pugilistic way…” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ***

Women of the Berlin Rundfunk Chorus & Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim

“As the Symphony progresses … refining or shaping gestures in often revelatory ways, you become aware of Barenboim’s skill in maintaining the large-scale tension he has created. … Improvisatory, impulsive and full of extreme contrasts, [his] Dante Sonata is vividly pictorial - with almost orchestral colourings … in a word, riveting.” (Gramophone)
