Daniel Barenboim Conducts Schubert And Beethoven

Schubert’s Seventh Symphony is shrouded in mystery. Not only did it remain “unfinished”; its inner turmoil offers a profound glimpse into the soul of Romanticism. Fear and oppression stand in stark contrast to light and joy; dark, menacing sounds alternate with dance-like melodies that seem to dance on the rim of the abyss. Daniel Barenboim, honorary conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, pairs this work with Beethoven’s Seventh – a symphony that knows no doubt, radiating an energetic blend of optimism and determination.
