November 15th 2022 marks the 80th birthday of Daniel Barenboim, an anniversary overshadowed by his recently announced retirement because of illness. Here is a youthful recording of the two concertos of Brahms with John Barbirolli, finally available in high resolution! This album is an historical reference. Barbirolli was a massive influence on Barenboim, as he pointed out: 'As far as orchestral playing is concerned, I learned most of what I know from Barbirolli. (…) I mean that I learned how to learn. I learned how to study a score, I learned how to prepare'.
