“Barenboim leads the Piano Concerto No. 22, K.482 from the keyboard, along with conducting the Symphony No. 36 (“Linz”) and the First Horn Concerto. Barenboim’s deep, ringing tone is heard to fine effect, and viewers get a rare moment of classical humor when he cues the first violins with a wink and grin at the end of the concerto’s first movement.” Time out Chicago, 2006.
