Violinist Michael Barenboim and cellist Kian Soltani are the soloists at this year's concert of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in Salzburg. The programme includes the Double Concerto for Violin and Violoncello in A minor op. 102 which was Johannes Brahms final orchestral work composed in 1887.

Anne-Sophie Mutter and Yo-Yo Ma, who recorded the masterpiece Beethoven Triple Concerto with Karajan over 40 years ago, now release a new recording with Barenboim as part of the Beethoven 250th anniversary project. Recorded during concerts in Buenos Aires and Berlin in the summer of 2019, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim conducted and played piano. Connecting the humanity embodied by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra with Beethoven's pursuit of harmony and revolutionary ideas, this release features the Triple Concerto alongside Symphony No. 7, brimming with joyful dance rhythms.

The world-renowned pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim celebrated his 80th birthday in 2022. Together with the Chinese star pianist Lang Lang and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the Argentine-Israeli maestro is presenting works by the Spanish composers Maurice Ravel and Manuel de Falla. For Lang Lang, this marks his first collaboration with the orchestra.
