Performer: Daniel Barenboim

Daniel Barenboim offered an unusually Germanic take on César Franck, while section leaders Michael Barenboim and Kian Soltani pulled double duty as soloists in Brahms' Double Concerto.

Replacing Mikko Franck at short notice, Barenboim joins Yefim Bronfman for a revised, all-Brahms programme.

All the music in their joyous concert was composed to delight the ear, and during a distressing pandemic there can be no higher calling.

Part of a new Da-Ponte trilogy, Le nozze di Figaro premieres online at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin

A mixed performance from Bonn, but there was magic from Barenboim's fingers in the Third Piano Concerto.
