About

“Let’s face it: if Brahms had not existed, we would be much the poorer, but the history of music would have gone on more or less the same way. But Beethoven and Schumann made Wagner possible, and Mahler. Schumann was historically one of the most important composers of the nineteenth century.” – Daniel Barenboim

Awards and reviews

  • Opus Klassik Awards
    2023
    Nominated - Conductor of the Year

January 2023

What really gives these performances weight, in the best sense, is Barenboim’s marvellous sense of the long line – the kind of incredible long-breathed phrasing that, in his hands, can make even a whole act of a Wagnerian musicdrama feel like one sustained melody.

the ear for balance is unfailingly acute, the end result always holding the attention, sometimes for its sheer beauty, sometimes for its provocation...Happy birthday, Maestro, and may you have many more.
