This is the boy Daniel playing a concerto with the orchestra of the Gadna, an Israeli programme that prepares young people for military service.

It is 1953 and Barenboim is 10 years old.

The conductor is Eitan Lustig, the orchestra’s founder.

The concertmaster was the future composer Ami Ma’ayani.
