I had no idea about Barenboim's temperament til I stumbled on this article.

Disliked Barenboim since I heard him subscribe bs motives to a famous collegue of his.. nasty character

I never cared for his piano play or conducting, but that's not his fault I guess

I have his Beetrhoven 1966 cycle, not bad, but still prefer Kempff, Arrau, and Brendel, the Old Guard.

Hello Maestro, good to see you back!

I assume that you have now fully thawed out after a long fluffing Winter!

Have you been to any recent concerts or perhaps you just prefer your usual home listening instead?

Home listening, my Friend. Hope all's well with you in Dublin.

Two hints the description is likely true—

He is “a human rights advocate”

and he is an “ambassador of peace.”

Psycopath hiding his tracks?

Psycopath hiding his tracks?

It’s so often the case that talent comes not only from the ashes of early childhood trauma, but with some real burdens.

For 2019, I’ve been reading bios of each composer as I go thru their music. So much heartache seems to accompany such gifts.

Anyone enjoying the concerts thru Berliner app?

Great sound & camera work.

Are we not slightly over emphasizing what he has done..............

when as far as we know, he never did anything like this?
