West-Eastern Divan Orchestra performances led by Daniel BARE

Overview

Daniel Barenboim has led the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra—an ensemble of Israeli, Palestinian, and Arab musicians—in recent performances across Europe.

In San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Barenboim conducted the orchestra to close the International Festival of Performing Arts, performing works by Wagner, Schubert, and Schumann. Despite a physical decline due to a neurological condition related to Parkinson’s disease, the 83-year-old conductor led the performance of pieces including the Prelude and Liebestod from ‘Tristan und Isolde’.

Following this, the orchestra performed at the Philharmonie in Paris. The program included Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, Wagner’s ‘Tristan und Isolde’ Prelude, and Schumann’s Symphony No. 3. During the Paris concert, Barenboim conducted while seated, using minimal gestures and head movements to direct the musicians, which included his son, Michael Barenboim, as the solo first violin.
