Journal Interview: Daniel Barenboim - Dirigent

[@mausimama1]

Don't you have any other problems than to discuss his German skills! Listen to him! He is a brave man and should be an example for all of us!

[@hilbert2547]

amazing how he speaks german, its perfect but his italian is perfect too, I forgot his perfect spanish, his perfect hebrew and perfect english what more?

[@seanvandiijk2889]

hilbert2547 arabic! Does he??

[@alexidarraga5788]

French too!

His orchestra has been a wonderful feat of faith with Edward Said who unfortunately passed away before seeing their music played in Ramallah. Magnificent, thank you for posting this video, five stars.

I met him on Friday evening during the 1st of 2 concerts which he gave in Monaco. He speaks very well about French. It is necessary not to forget that he managed the Orchestra of Paris during more than 10 years and one very accessible, kind man and an immense musician.

Je l'ai rencontré vendredi soir lors du 1er des 2 concerts qu'il a donné à Monaco. Il parle très bien le français. Il faut pas oublier qu'il a dirigé l'Orchestre de Paris pendant plus de 10 ans...et une homme très accessible, gentil et un musicien immense.

[@hilbert2547]

he is a great man, he is working more for freedom that your politicians

[@skybart]

@welertgus Absolutely! He speaks Russian fluently, too: I heard him speaking to his kids years ago in a café in Berlin. I'm sure his Italian is nearly flawless, as well.

It's a very surprising remark. I never said he is a great musician BECAUSE he speaks 6 languages! In fact, he is a very great musician, AND he speaks at least 6 languages. (actually, people who are gifted for music are often gifted for languages too. And Barenboïm is overgifted!)

[@deinemama6303]

Kann der Typ irgendwie 20 Sprachen sprechen?

[@MasterAzunai]

Its pretty damn close. A few grammatical mistakes and the tiniest bit of "germglish" and you say that he has "far from perfect german"? German television would either edit this or not post it if was bad. So don't complain. And if you know so much about german professor how bout you deal and pay attention to what he's saying and doing, which is so admirable that I would be willing to overlook a butchery of german, english, italian chinese. Stop disagreeing to get attention.

[@FacundoJG]

He speaks all the languages xD... I agree with Namuchat. He's a great man

[@BrunoLien]

Barenboïm speaks at least 6 languages...

[@hilbert2547]

sein Deutsch ist sehr gut, für Deutsch als Fremdsprache, man kann das nicht mit Muttersprachlern vergleichen. Sein Deutsch genügt höchsten Ansprüchen

[@justbeingman]

Sincere man. His stance, however, is not necessarily courageous, if you really want to be honest about it. His stature is only enhanced internationally by the position he takes. Fact is his vision is unlikely to be realized. Fun fantasy of peace. At least he's making nice music and Arabs and Jews are working and playing together. Nothing wrong with that.

[@Namuchat]

Barenboim is a great man. But his interviews with Charlie Rose are more interesting. The journalist is too stiff, annoying.
