Performer: West-Eastern Divan Orchestra

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra are on fire with the joy of music-making to the delight of a very sympathetic and enthusiastic audience at London's Southbank Centre. 

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.

Tributes have flowed in after the conductor and pianist announced his diagnosis on Thursday: “I am planning to maintain as many of my professional commitments as my health permits.”
