Pianist lashes out
Print Edition
CONDUCTOR and pianist Daniel Barenboim has become the latest artist to interrupt a concert to tick off the audience for taking photographs, slamming flash-happy fans at Milan’s prestigious opera house as “badly educated.”
The outburst, which came during a performance of Schubert at La Scala, was compared to pianist Keith Jarrett’s rant at the Umbria Jazz festival, when he told “all these a**holes with cameras” to “turn them f**king off right now.”
Barenboim was more restrained, but warned the audience — and one woman in particular — he had asked several times for people not to take photographs during his performance and was beginning to lose his temper. “Madam, I am trying to give you my best, but you have no respect for it!” he said.
