Seems like a nice man. I never met him but I went to hear him conduct Tristan in Berlin recently and at both intervals I went down to have a look in the pit and there he was, chatting cordially with anyone who came to speak with him (mostly members of the orchestra) and gave them a pat on the back as they turned to walk away. And the music was sublime.
I don't know how many musicians realize how blessed they are: they "don't work", they do what they love to do (even if not at Barenboim's level, they would still love it) and they get paid for that!
In May 1972 in Israel, Daniel Barenboim played and conducted a Mozart concerto and we, the chorus, were allowed to sit on the stage and listen. Israel was informal in those days. Then Barenboim conducted us in the Mozart Requiem. It was a thrilling experience.
I went as part of my high school orchestra to spectate a Chicago Symphony Orchestra rehearsal when Barenboim was conductor. Afterwards he did an AMA/QA. He seemed like a very cantankerous old man at the time. But that's why I love him. I quite like cantankerous but knowledgeable sorts that don't mince words and cut out all BS.
Overtime, like the past 20 years I've listened to Glen Gould's Well Tempered Clavier. I'm a giant fan and know every note and hum as it is born and dies. BUT, as I'm skipping around for the first time with Maestro Barenboim's Clavier, I am born again and every death is sweeter. Daniel adds to the music and 1000 years from now, his breath, his twinkle will be the Higgs. Come play at my house. Lawson di Ransom Canyon PS....AI will have great versions but they won't be a Barenboim. much thanks. m.
It hurts to see Bob Simon when I know he died in an auto accident in Manhattan. And before that, he was a hostage in Jordan for 40 days, I read his book, Forty Days. He was only released when his wife spoke to the Jordan's Queen Noor, who was born in the US of Arab descent.
This was well done, but when they asked him about the Wagner/Jewish question, they should have mentioned the orchestra he founded of Arab and Jewish players. And he was a flag carrier at the last Olympics.
Baremboin es tan argentino como San Martin....los argentinos se lo apropian pero ambos fueron europeos y no estubieron mas de10 años en Argentina...de todos modos me quedo con Baremboin y no con Jose que se quedo en BSM por si las moscas asi cruzaba el canal en crisis....eso es decir que su alamo fue Inglaterra
he has not mentioned a SINGLE word about Celibidache.....and Daniel learnt quite a bit from Celi. who btw told him..."stick with the piano; conducting.is not for you..."
Nice profile of Maestro Barenboim. But playing "name that tune" with him was just silly: he's been a musician since he was a young child, why would any serious person think he has anything less than an encyclopedic knowledge of classical music?! That part of this piece was cringe-worthy.
Barenboim and the interviewer both recognize that it’s a shtick. It’s an opportunity to bring in people from outside the music world and appreciate his depth of knowledge. As a pianist and musician myself I can innately respect his skill and training by simply hearing him play one song; people who don’t have the same training don’t know how to. Showing his breadth of knowledge with that simple exercise helps the average person grasp his virtuosity. And it’s especially important knowing that this show is meant for the average person.
sorry but judging a person's competency quantitatively, e.g. testing his memory, is a very American understanding if what a genius is. You can't quantify art
Your opinion?!! Regardless.. Lemme spell-out: There's no better Isrāeli pianist than Sir Barenboim and certainly, not a better living in Germany - either.

well, in a way he is very argentinean, i mean, the pat on the back, being chatty and cheerlfull, is very much like us
Awesome, I love barenboim, thanks for uploading this old interview again.
Total genius never to be repeated
Another great piece. Yet again, why this is still the BEST show on television!
I don't know how many musicians realize how blessed they are: they "don't work", they do what they love to do (even if not at Barenboim's level, they would still love it) and they get paid for that!
they still had to learn a lot to perform at that level though
Maestro needs to win a Nobel Prize.
Indeed!
Of course
60 Minutes should do a follow-up, now that Maestro Barenboim is approaching age 80 and still busy, a genius & fascinating.
INDEED, HE DOES!
Wait, he hasn't?

I love his playing of Beethoven peaces. Inspirational bloke in every sense

Amazing man.
El músico más grande de nuestro tiempo. Gracias.
Bravo, maestro!!
This story came one year before Daniel Barenboim co-founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, perhaps one of his proudest accomplishments of all.
How about the Nobel peace prize. What is the matter with everyone? The world is in turmoil.
PEACE, PEACE, Peace please, please.

Mark you have a way with words. Please write a book perhaps on barenboim.
Tremendously inspiring! Eric Shumsky
Mãos abençoadas...lindo talento!
Brilliant!
Grande Maestro!
Daniel Barenboim probably can play the whole Well-Tempered Clavier by heart!
Pretty sure that’s about how his recording of the WTC went actually lol

WOW
My question is: is it too late to start memorizing music at the age of 35? Is it possible?
It's never to late for anything if u really want it
Just go for it, do not underestimate the limits of human endeavour.
It is not too late. You can surely accomplish a lot with hard work. Just dont expect to rival someone who has been doing it since the age of 7
Art is never limited by time or age. If you have the conviction to do it, even after months, then you can do it, and succeed :)
Not too late at all. Just do it. Read up on how to do it efficiently and effectively. Get ideas and tips from teachers and experts.
Can anyone please tell me what's the name of the musical piece at 5:45
3rd movement of Beethovens Pathetique sonata
This was well done, but when they asked him about the Wagner/Jewish question, they should have mentioned the orchestra he founded of Arab and Jewish players. And he was a flag carrier at the last Olympics.
This is from 1998, just before the Orchestra started, and the Olympics was 2012.

The music at 0:52 is the first movement of Mahler's 5th symphony. The one at 9:43 I don't know.

Mr du pre
The 60 minutes program interviewing second-rated Lang Lang?? Barenboim?? Misty Copeland?? There are better pianists and better ballet dancers around.
Your opinion?!!
Regardless..
Lemme spell-out: There's no better Isrāeli pianist than Sir Barenboim and certainly, not a better living in Germany - either.
?? Look up Barenboim giving Lang Lang a masterclass on Beethoven, it's available on yt.
Better pianists than Barenboim?
Uh-huh?!?
What are you even trying to ask/say, "@@SpontaneityJD"?
@@maazkalim Huh? I’m not responding to you. I’m asking the original commenter who is better than Barenboim
