5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very inspiring DVD!, June 25, 2006

This review is from: The Ramallah Concert - Knowledge Is the Beginning/West-Eastern Divan Orchestra/Barenboim (DVD)

This is a well done, honest commentary on Barenboim and Said's wonderful idea to break down the barriers of ignorance and mistrust by creating an orchestra which combines young Israeli and Arab musicians from various countries. Barenboim, Said, Ma and several of the orchestra members talk about their experiences, all leading to the exciting concert at Ramallah, the fulfilment of much planning and assistance. Second DVD with the Ramallah concert itself is a joy with so many talented young musicians playing Beethoven, Mozart and Elgar.

I had the pleasure to meet with the Maestro when I was in Europe many years ago. What he has done through music is simply inspirational. If we could only make music not war.....

This review is from: The Ramallah Concert - Knowledge Is the Beginning/West-Eastern Divan Orchestra/Barenboim (DVD)

Through this project, Said and Barenboim have done something that no politicians are able to accomplish. It's an amazing story that revived the dream (despite the current bleak reality) that one day Arabs and Israeli may be able to reconcile and live in harmony.
