Frost over the World - Daniel Barenboim - 08 Feb 08 - Pt 3

[marianomanto]

Who is/are the future Barenboims, Rubinsteins, Argerich? Do we have a generation of musicians to take this places 40 years from today?

[peteklat]

Nothing wrong with his Beethoven first sonata - it's a somewhat classical approach but fastidiously clean and superbly articulated. It's not the Appassionata after all!

[Gargantupimp]

lol barenboim is a crap musician, just look at his banal performance of beethoven sonata 1, if they give him a nobel prize i would freaking blow a gasket

[SeryiVolk2009]

@Gargantupimp - Anyone who can say Daniel Barenboim "is a crap musician" is a card-carrying moron.

[Gargantupimp]

@SeryiVolk2009 Anybody who doesn't think Barenboim is a crap musician should be taken out and shot like a dog.

He should have his hands removed, and then the surgeon who performed the operation, he deserves a nobel prize.

[hingamp]

@chopper0 his private life is not for us to judge.

[hingamp]

incredible musician and true humanist, defendant of the full ISRAEL INDEPENDANCE DECLARATION. HE IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO REAL FREDOM !!!!

[huguespenot]

I have a dream. Daniel Baremboim will be the the next Nobel peace prize!

[ThePVGS1]

@chopper0 Liar. Read his bio more carefully.

[becapeach]

Wonderful man, his words are such common sense and I hope they bring peace - Beca

[fran1244]

A great man argentinean

[gitaclick]

@chopper0 But still you can't deny his extraordinary musical talent and the fact that he spent half of his life passing it on to the world as a performer (and I think Jackie had benefit out of that aswell) and the second half as an educator (in the largest sense of the word). And he didn't retire and went to drink coctails in Bahamas because - in his own words - music is not a profession, it's the way of life. Say what you want, but he's living it to the fullest!

[86Lasker]

welcome back. welcome back

[swanningaround]

Daniel is a man of peace. He is showing us all the way forward. God bless you, Daniel.

[aslom44]

Give him the peace prize

[faraz1729]

Hear, hear!

[sleepingTitania]

What a wonderful analogy he uses for the way people should be communicating with one another: "to play in an orchestra in an intelligent way - is a lesson for life." The universal language of music is a brilliant way to break down barriers and effect positive change. Daniel Barenboim is an inspiration... it is so good to see a person with his intelligence, skills and experience, who also listens to his heart and acts with passion and courage.

[Corenero]

What a beautiful words. I agree, Barenboim is an inspiration, as a musician, and as citizen of this world.

[predoje]

@Corenero I agree with you!

[ITubeSheTubes]

Let's face it, he is RIGHT. Either there is a way of making Palestinians move around, work, study, vote, breath, live and die freely in shared Israeli/Palestinian territory or we might as well close shop and relocate Israel elsewhere.

Some Palestinians might love the alternative, but don't rejoice. A fully Palestinian Palestine would also be hell on Earth. Just look around the neighborhood.

[chopypopy]

Even tho i don't support jews at ALL, Daniel Barenboim is a great man.

[ilwmb]

@chopypopy uve been writing several comments on this video but i dont really see whats your opinion!? first insulting, now admiring barenboim?! and what i really cant believe is how u can say u dont support a whole people?? thats like being left alone by a women and hating all women world wide from then on.. chopypopy u should rethink that whole thing man... listen to barenboim: "we are admired and hated". thats exactly what u do.. hate and admire.. (waiting for your educated answer)

[hilbert2547]

great man!

[SOTHISISDEMOCRACY]

You fascists bound to lose

You're bound to lose! You fascists!

Bound to lose

People of every colour marching side by side

Marching 'cross these fields where a million fascists died

You're bound to lose, you fascists bound to lose

I'm going into this battle, and take my union gun

We'll end this world of slavery before this battle's won

You're bound to lose, you fascists bound to lose

WORDS: Woody Guthrie (1942) - MUSIC: Billy Bragg (1997)

[anutarasamyat]

why don't you fuck off dickwad.

[alejandra379]

He is a good man and also humble. He knows that his beliefs are a proposal that many people can agree with and many people can disagree with. That is why he speaks more about respect than of tolerance, respect demands more of you... as for his marriage to Dupré, no one knows the depth of the pain he might have felt with her illness; that he kept for himself and it must be respected..

[warmperson2007]

He is a one of the greatest musicians, and is has a great vision as can be seen in the interview he gave on BBC Hard Talk. Israelis should listen to him!

(The israeli society has become such a disaster in the last 25 years....)

[sleepypoodle]

Saulboyjt - it is precisely the attitudes of beasts such as yourself which would reduce this world to a hate-filled,narrow-minded war-zone. The decent,intelligent,Israelis and Palestinians want peace and stability,this will never be achieved whilst poisonous,ignorant prejudiced individuals like yourself are willing to perpetuate this terrible situation. Shame on you! Progress cannot happen without respect for humans as individuals-you attempt to dehumanise the Palestinians to justify your hate!

[ticklecreek]

Just be careful not to become ill if you're married to him! He was a good musician but a selfish, deceitful man. Big deal that he was discreet about mistress and children by her...until after Jacqueline's tragic death - give the creep a medal. He made a mockery of the marital vows he took and he disgusts me.

[sleepypoodle]

Perhaps Daniel is a paradox, with questionable 'morality' in his personal life but taking an admirable stance where the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is concerned. He does not proclaim himself perfect or a saint but at least he is honourable and concerned enough to speak out against the conflict which can only be resolved by mutual respect and reaching a compromise which does not involve violence and hatred. One has to respect him for that, his betrayal of Jacqueline du Pre is another story.

[bonejure]

Well articulated - I totally agree. His attitude, actions and intelligence speak louder than all the hatred, violence and myopic zealots keeping the fires stoked in the middle east conflict. As a Jew I respect the rights of Palestinians to have a just and peaceful co-existance with Israelis. Concessions and mutual respect are the prerequisites to ending this tragic situation. I ask of everyone who reads this to be respectful of the right to exist for Israelis and Palestinians !

Peace !!!

[APRCVG188]

@ticklecreek Eyes lost? Well read his bio more carefully.

[ulizinho]

Barenboim also conducted the Scala-orchestra Beethoven´s ninth symphony in Ghana for the 50-th anniversary of independence. He is truely admirable.

[keepthemusicplaying0]

Fantastic, five stars!!!

[irondeux]

bravo, bravo, bravo BARENBOIM IS GREAT|

[tranquilart]

if more people where like him... :)

[saulboyjt]

Daniel is nuts.

You cant have peace with beasts.

Israel forever!

[wysiwyg248]

saulboyjt,

Keep that attitude...you are just another beast. Pretty sad indeed.

[mbrookfi]

Saulboyit - a just another stupid eastern European jew-hater - where did all such people get their hatred from? I doubt they have actually met many jews and similarly for muslims. I hope his music is better than his opinions? Even Wagner, depiste his antisemitic general opinions had a number of jewish friends that he valued and cherished It is hard to hate people you know! Very easy to hate pople you don't know.

[FlorianWZ]

Barenboim is jewish. Get a grip. And a clue.

[Enantiodromialist]

Bravo to both Mr. Barenboim and Mike Gravel (see the last 30 seconds in the video) - two truly great people who both, in different ways, represent the true "moral majority".
