Production details

It was in 1999 in Weimar, Germany, that the Israeli pianist-conductor Daniel Barenboim and the Palestinian-American cultural historian, the late Edward Said, jointly founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra - a unique ensemble bringing together young players from both sides of the Arab-Israeli divide in what Barenboim insists is not 'an orchestra for peace' but 'an orchestra against ignorance', and which is now universally acclaimed as simply a superb orchestra, however you label it. To open our weekend celebrating the Divan's 10th anniversary, we return to its roots in Weimar, where, as the city's music director for over a decade, Liszt championed the works of both Wagner and Berlioz. Approx finish time: 21:15. Broadcast at 19:30 on BBC Four and live on BBC Radio 3.
