Why such a sterile location? To be sure that there are no visual distractions?
Daniel is a monumental bore. Shut up and play, maestro. “Some political ones..?”. Oh, we get it now.
Speaking of monumental bores, you are excelling yourself today.
Wait till he tells you all about his new piano, the “Barenboim Steinway”. Ego as bit as all outdoors.
..and last time I saw him playing that piano it was bog standard. Sadly for Barenboim, he is also bereft of a sense of humour.
Brahms PC 1 in a 5 minute nutshell, minus the self-promotion of about a half minute – yawn!
BTW, the piano doesn’t get just the lyrical parts in the in 1st movement. Also, the first time I heard that the very Bachian (not mentioned at all) 3rd movement had “gypsy” influence.
It’s great – thanks for alerting us to this.
It surprises me how s-l-o-w-l-y Barenboim speaks in interviews and things. I once crashed a rehearsal with CSO and he was talking very quickly.
