Live in Ramallah - Beethoven, et al / Barenboim, et al by Mohamed Saleh (CD, Feb-2006, Warner Classics USA)

The music is very beautiful but what can one say of Mozart that wasn't said recently during the celebration of his 200 years? What am I to comment on Beethoven's V th that hasn't been said already? What was heard for the first time on that Concert and was a voice that I expect will continue to reverberate for years to come was the plea for mutual tolerance, mutual goodwill, the act of extending hands between peoples that have everything to be united and are separated because politics keep them apart. The CD is a celebration for peace.
