Description:

[The Art of Daniel Barenboim] Daniel Barenboim is one of the greatest pianists of our time and the last great contemporary conductor. As a conductor, Barenboim made numerous recordings for Deutsche Grammophon in the 1970s and 1980s with the Orchestre de Paris, for which he was then music director, and with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, for which he later became music director. These masterpieces are reissued on SHM-CD. Commemorative disc of Barenboim's visit to Japan. This is the third of three recordings of Haydn's mid symphonies for DG, recorded with the English Chamber Orchestra, with whom Barenboim had a close relationship from the beginning of his conducting career. The long-awaited reissue of this recording is an excellent performance in which Barenboim's unique personality shines through. Recorded in Edinburgh, September 1975 (1), London, March 1978 (2) [Performed by] English Chamber Orchestra, Conductor: Daniel Barenboim
