Barenboim Conducts Beethoven Symphonies 7 and 8

Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra perform Beethoven's compact Eighth and expansive Seventh symphonies. Barenboim's son Michael performs a work by Pierre Boulez.

Daniel Barenboim continues his journey through the complete Beethoven symphonies with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra by performing a pair of contrasting later symphonies - the exquisitely compact Eighth alongside the expansive, majestic and athletic Seventh. Within this frame, Barenboim's son Michael Barenboim performs Anthemes 2 for violin and live electronics by Pierre Boulez.
