Just in: Barenboim meets Pope
mainThe conductor, 72, was received today at the Vatican for a private audience with Pope Francis.
The Middle East was discussed. ‘It was very cordial,’ said Barenboim.
It was the first meeting between the two South Americans.
Barenboim had several encounters with the music-loving Pope Benedict.
That’s Baremboim with Pope Benedict and not Francis.
Yes, as clearly stated. Yesterday’s meeting was private.
