Maestro's Daniel Barenboim and James Levine played a little Mozart for 4-hands before intermission at tonight's Staatskapelle Berlin concert at Symphony Hall for the Celebrity Series, in which Daniel Barenboim served as conductor and pianist. Following Barenboim and the Staatskapelle's performance of Mozart's Symphony No. 39 and Piano Concerto No. 22, Barenboim brought out Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor James Levine. Barenboim's introduction of Levine went as follows, "I have friends that I admire and friends that I like, but few friends I both admire and like, James Levine is one of those."
It was a wonderful surprise...
