I had season tickets to the Chicago Symphony for all the year Barenboim was conductor. I loved him and so did the Chicago audiences. I recently saw a video of him performing Listz at an outdoor setting. Simply brilliant playing. His master classes on Beethoven show what a fantastic musical mind this man has. Truly a musical genius. \
DuPre had nothing to do with the great musical career he has had and continues to have. By the way the only reason he was forced out of Chicago was that the board wanted him to spend more time in Chicago promoting the orchestra. He said no.
