Details: Short description In 2010, the Chopin Year, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim also celebrates the 60th anniversary of his debut. In 1950, the seven-year-old gave his first public concert in Buenos Aires. Chopin was born on March 1, 1810, in a small village near Warsaw. The highly acclaimed Warsaw recital with Daniel Barenboim in honor of the composer took place on the evening of his birthday. Barenboim plays works from almost all of Chopin's favored forms: fantasies, nocturnes, sonatas, waltzes, and barcarolles, but he is concerned with more than mere interpretation: this recital is an unobtrusive lesson in musical philosophy that nevertheless sounds sensual and spontaneous. review After almost six decades of experience on stage, Daniel Barenboim continues to need and to seek out contact with an audience. [] Musically speaking, those contacts have always been particularly intense when Barenboim has been able to display his ability to play quietly, an ability that continues to amaze, with his feeling for a velvet touch that is neither brittle nor saccharine but always characterized by a serious, substantial beauty. --www.klassikinfo.de Barenboim is - it goes without saying - a towering musician who is worth hearing here. Performance,Picture & Sound **** --BBC Music Magazine,Jan'11 Barenboim takes a cool approach to Poland's national composer.The neat unfussy direction makes the film a pleasure to watch. --Gramophone,Feb'11 Just as I did while viewing and listening to this DVD, the Warsaw audience loved every minute of the recital, as is clear in the numerous camera shots of its reactions. --IRR,May'11
