Barenboim's Beethoven in London
Do they love him? They *love* him. Ten years ago, the orchestra of the State Opera of Berlin (the Staatskapelle Berlin) named Daniel Barenboim "Chief Conductor for Life." Earlier this month, Barenboim and the Staatskapelle played at the Royal Festival Hall in London, and we have a highlight: Barenboim conducting and soloing in Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1.
