Daniel Barenboim Concert on A&E cable TV



The parts of this concert I stumbled on were just wonderful, every bit as much an anniversary party as a classical concert. Part 2 airs next week -- and A&E usually bounces other airtimes of particularly good shows around, so there's a good chance anyone who wants to keep searching will find it. Here's the website blurb:

Daniel Barenboim: 50 Years on Stage , Pt. 1
Sunday, June 29 @ 8am ET/PT 
 
On August 19, 2000, Daniel Barenboim celebrated 50 years on stage by giving a piano recital from the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, where the 7-year-old Barenboim made his first public concert appearance. Like 5 decades earlier, Barenboim's solo recital reflected his astonishing interest in different musical cultures.  TV G

Next Airing: Sunday, Jul 6 @ 8am ET/PT
 
Daniel Barenboim's solo recital was ecstatically received by the 3,000-strong audience that sang "Happy Anniversary" to him as he returned to the stage -- 18 encores later Barenboim finally said goodnight! Join us for Part 2 of a piano recital that will go down in history as one of the musical events of the 21st century.  TV G
