Daniel Barenboim will play piano again in public

The Berlin Philharmonie has made changes to Sunday’s upcoming programme in order to pay homage to the late director Jürgen Flimm:

In memory of Jürgen Flimm, Cecilia Bartoli is going to sing two arias by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: the concert aria »Ch’io mi scordi di te? … Non temer, amato bene« for soprano, piano and orchestra KV 505 and the aria of Sesto »Parto, ma tu ben mio« from the opera »La clemenza di Tito« KV 621, instead of the song cycle »Les nuits d’été« by Hector Berlioz. Jürgen Flimm has had a special connection to Mozart’s operas (and his music in general) – he staged many of them in his work as a director, oftentimes with Cecilia Bartoli. Daniel Barenboim will participate in this homage and play the solo of the concert aria KV 505.
