Daniel Barenboim opens via Parkinson's: I want to continue
The celebrated star conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, known for his moving appearances, made his Parkinson's disease public. In a personal message, the 82-year-old said that he suffers from this serious nerve disease. This already cost him parts of his appearances, but despite these challenges, Barenboim is planning to continue to maintain his musical obligations as far as possible. "I know that many people have worried about my health and I am touched by the support that I have received in the past three years," said the Maestro, who has already failed due to its illness, as the Krone reported.
Looking back: Barenboim: At his last appearance at the Vienna New Year's concert in 2022, after the Danube Walzer, he spoke and turned to the millions of audiences with an emotional message, in which he emphasized the importance of humanity and cohesion in times of crisis. "I want us to approach the challenges with which the world is confronted together," were some of his moving words.The upcoming holidays in Berlin
The coming festive days at the State Opera Unter den Linden in Berlin, which will start on April 12, could become another highlight in Barenboim's career. He will conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at a concert with works by Prokofiev and Mahler and thus demonstrate his unbroken passion for music despite health difficulties. The program includes Prokofievs Symphony No. 1 and Mahler's Symphony No. 1. In the following days, it will lead further significant performances, including Prokofiev's "engagement in the monastery" and Wagner's "The Meistersinger von Nuremberg", as the official page of the conductor reported.
With his unshakable commitment to the music and the planned appearances, Barenboim gives many reasons for hope and shows that health setbacks also have no influence on his dedication.
