Movie Reviews of Daniel Barenboim: The Jubilee Concert from Buenos Aires & 'Multiple Identities'
Movie Review: A Superb Tribute to Daniel Barenboim! The Man. The Maestro.
Summary: 5 Stars
My compliments forthwith to reviewers J. Anderson and J. Scott Morrison for saying essentially those things which perfectly describe this DVD! I'd only add that the focus of the DVD, Daniel Barenboim, is indeed that of the consummate maestro in every sense of the word.
Like various others, I too enjoy classical music and playing same on the piano although I'll at once confess to also using various classical piece 'arrangements' when, shall we say, certain 'sic' pieces become beyond my grasp to do justice as it was originally written. But one will immediately notice that when Barenboim went on to conducting, he obviously didn't neglect the piano one iota and his playing demonstrates that over and over again. A class musician, as it were, and a gentleman as well as an individual who speaks his mind and is not shy of taking a stand on what he strongly believes in and is prepared to defend. The Wagner music being played in Israel coming immediately to mind and Barenboim drawing a distinction between the music and the man or in some cases a matter of misdirected prejudices.
I'm reminded of Dame Myra Hess who did those war-time concerts in the UK and, as most know, her specialty was the 'German' classics which she continued to play during the war and which were well received demonstrating that, bottom line, good music 'can' transcend the times or present/past events. Daniel Barenboim, in my view, seeks more to heal and move forward with regard to past events as opposed to various and sundry who may view the slogan "Never Again!" as de facto all encompassing with no latitude for either exceptions nor mitigations or indeed with regard to 'any' composer, the music versus that of the man. In the DVD itself, there are a few who voice the view that Barenboim, himself Jewish, and when it comes specifically to the music of Richard Wagner, "should be ashamed of himself" [sic] for his alleged "Wagner pandering" [sic] and this J'accuse he thoroughly and convincingly defends! The DVD presents a man who is well versed in many areas both within and without the musical realm with an open mindedness and candor that is refreshing. And an acute intelligence to back it up! This DVD is a tribute to that man both in concert [disk #1] and in his personal life [disk #2].
I don't think the word "superb" is any sort of exaggeration in describing this two disk set DVD and what it offers. And the tribute to the man and the maestro in his many accomplishments during the last 50 years are well reciprocated by the response(s) of his audience. Both live when it was made or, in my view, subsequent DVD viewing by countless others therein.
