New Year's Eve Concert 2015

The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim, long known for his Mozart interpretations, turns his attention to Mozart's last 8 piano concertos.

The music of Mozart has quite literally been an essential driving force of Daniel Barenboim's entire life. It remains central to his performing career both as a pianist and as a conductor.

These illuminating performances of Mozart's last eight great piano concertos admirably demonstrate Barenboim's dictum that even when a true musician has already performed a familiar work hundreds of times, he or she 'never accepts that the next note will be played the same way as it was played before.'

This production was directed by George Moorse, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle and Klaas Rusticus.

Digitally remastered from 35mm film.
