More quotes by Daniel Barenboim
To have real knowledge, one must understand the essence of things and not only their manifestations.
Daniel Barenboim
I have the greatest respect for the survivors of the Holocaust. We can't even imagine what these people went through.
Daniel Barenboim
Wagner exploited all forms of expression at a composer's disposal - harmony, dynamics, orchestration - to the extreme. His music is highly emotional, and at the same time Wagner has extraordinary control over the effect he achieves.
Daniel Barenboim
The ear plays the role of the guide in the museum in the concert I'm taking now. We don't have an oral guide, we have to provide it ourselves. One reason why active listening is absolutely essential.
Daniel Barenboim
Sound is often talked about in a very subjective way, as if it had a colour. This is a bright sound, this is a dark sound. I don't believe in that because I think that is much too subjective.
Daniel Barenboim
Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life.
Daniel Barenboim
I'm sure that there are many Israelis who dream of waking up one day to find the Palestinians gone. And there are many Palestinians who dream of going to bed at night and waking up the next morning to find the Israelis gone.
Daniel Barenboim
Music has the capacity to create a greater reality.
Daniel Barenboim
Anti-Semitism has no historical, political and certainly no philosophical origins. Anti-Semitism is a disease.
Daniel Barenboim
An Israeli who thinks that his government is doing everything right wouldn't join the Divan Orchestra in the first place.
Daniel Barenboim
You can't expect someone born into a family with no music...to understand when I'm conducting the Schönberg Variations.
Daniel Barenboim
There are many types of silence. There is a silence before the note, there is a silence at the end and there is a silence in the middle.
Daniel Barenboim
I can't stand being in Chicago anymore and hearing the Brahms Violin Concerto in the elevator. Because that shows me that when they come to the concert hall they listen to it in the same way.
Daniel Barenboim
Every great work of art has two faces, one towards its own time and one towards future, towards eternity.
Daniel Barenboim
I hope that my new status will be an example of Israeli-Palestinian co-existence, I believe that the destinies of the Israeli people and the Palestinian people are inextricably linked.
Daniel Barenboim
Jewish intellectuals contributed a great deal to insure that Europe became a continent of humanism, and it is with these humanist ideals that Europe must now intervene in the Middle East conflict.
Daniel Barenboim
European anti-Semitism goes much further back than to the partition of Palestine and the establishment of Israel in 1948. It even goes further back than the Holocaust.
Daniel Barenboim
Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still, we will have no chance of escaping the violence.
Daniel Barenboim
When playing music, it is possible to achieve a unique sense of peace.
Daniel Barenboim
The tempo is the suitcase. If the suitcase is too small, everything is completely wrinkled. If the tempo is too fast, everything becomes so scrambled you can't understand it.
Daniel Barenboim
