Daniel Barenboim cancels June engagements
NewsBarenboim has called off two nights of trios next week at the Philharmonie de Paris, where he was due to perform with his violinist son Michael and his protégé cellist Kian Soltani.
Barenboim is receiving intensive treatment in Berlin for a non-malignant condition. No date has been given for his return.
Soon, we hope.
It looks like his health condition is worse than thought.
I don’t think we shall see or hear him any more.
Oh, for goodness sake! What a negative comment when you don’t even have hos medical records to hand, you just hearsay! He would still need a month or more to practise properly. Even after a holiday, you can’t just jump in, either at his aged of much younger! We wait in hope. There must always be hope, and not finish people off!
What a horrible thing to say!
Get well soon, Mr Barenboim, we are looking forward to seeing you.
Are you a doctor with access to inside information?
As of now, DB remains listed for one Elektra at the Staatsoper, on 15 June. Initially he was listed for the first 3 (of 5). Now Thomas Guggeis is in for 4. Would not surprise me to see TG doing all 5. Wishing Mo. DB a full recovery.
If you remember the last run of Elektras by Barenboim just before Corona, when one of the performances had to be stopped in the middle because he messed up completely unprepared the whole orchestra and it went completely out of sync with the singers, you really wish Guggeis would take over all five performances, although he is as boring as a sleeping sock. Nevertheless and of course, wishing Danny a speedy recovery and all the best.
Live music and led by human beings. Danny is always well prepared.
Achim,stick to your music(Spreewaldgurke)….
Ah, there you are again! Have missed you, thought something had happened to you!
What have you heard Guggeis conduct, may I ask?
In July 1972 I was examining my pistol and thinking of using it on myself to end a time of anguish. But at that moment, I began to hear amazing sounds coming from my FM radio, sounds of terrible sorrow, of tremendous struggle, and finally, triumph. The music: Beethoven’s Choral Fantasia, Op. 80. The pianist: Daniel Barenboim. Thank you, Daniel. You saved a life.
I truly wish Daniel Barenboim, a full recovery for we, as
a generation, cannot bare to lose one of our own … I’ll
inform my Chicago Symphony Orchestra colleagues &
it’s possible some already know of this? DB has many
friends in the CSO, and returned to guest conduct not
long ago w/ much emotional gratitude he had come back to a City which welcomed him after Sir Georg Solti had taken leave of his Music Directorship & of a
handsome and exceptional ‘reign’ hallowed for fame
garnered globally by Solti & ‘his’ fabled CSO!! Many of
my CSO colleagues were on first name basis w/DB

Well said! Maestro always gave a stupendous performance. Chicago lost a great artist when he departed as conductor of the CSO.
Kian, not Kiam
Sad to hear, he’s a great one. I hope he fully recovers soon.
Maybe he should simplify his schedule now. I love his recording years ago of the Bartok 3rd Piano Concerto.
Feel better, Maestro! Ad Meah V’esreem!
He conducted in Berlin today while seated.
He looks very ill to me.
Poor man.
