Audience Member I was bowled over by this documentary of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and the amazing efforts of Barenboim and Said to make it happen, despite not being candidates for the same sort of media darling status enjoyed by El Sistema and Dudamel. The perspectives on the intricacies required of orchestral playing--as well as the reminder that great art music _should_ be expected to yield plenty of contemporary social and cultural implications--were (like Barenboim himself) exciting without being pretentious. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Disc 1 of the documentary about the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (founded by Edward Said and Daniel Barenboim). You must see it. You must see Disc 2 'The Ramallah Concert' too. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
