<< -- 4 -- Robert Anderson MUCH RESONANCE
England, conspicuously absent from the courageous Barenboim-Said venture, did at
least provide the encore for the Ramallah concert; nor can 'Nimrod', Elgar's matchless
tribute to the possibilities of friendship, ever have been more appropriately played.
I welcome the fact that Elgar's glorious music could still be heard as a fleet of
Israeli cars, wailing their way towards the Wall with screaming sirens, carried the
young Jews back to what has become the largest ghetto in their history
[watch and listen -- DVD2 chapter 15, 107:20-110:19].
Who can say what will be the future of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra? The Knesset
has made it unlikely that its next concert will be in pulverised Lebanon.
Police cars carry the Jewish members of the orchestra back to Israel. DVD screenshot © 2005 EuroArts Music International GmbH
