Daniel Barenboim celebrates his 80th birthday on November 15.
For the past seventy years he has been one of the most active musicians of his time.
One of the most charismatic too.
But above all one of the most committed musicians.
From the creation of his West Eastern Divan orchestra (to facilitate dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis) to that of the Barenboim-Saïd Foundation for the training of young musicians in Berlin, including the construction of the hall in honor of his friend Pierre Boulez in Berlin, Daniel Barenboïm is obviously not "only" the immense pianist and conductor that we know.
We recently heard him in a duet with his lifelong friend Martha Argerich: it was a music lesson.
Their complicity has lasted for more than seventy years, Barenboim was 6 years old and Argerich, 7 when they met for the first time in Buenos Aires.
Their musical friendship is rare.
