Price NIS 15.- Arthur Rubinstein was born on 28 January 1887 in Lodz, Poland, and started appearing in public as a “wunderkind". What happened since then is legend: he swiftly became one of the greatest pianists of all times, whose fame spread throughout the world. His recit­ als and solo appearances evoked praise that only few ever received. Beyond masterly technique, he was lauded for his profound personal interpretations, for his brimming energy that burst from each note he played, and for his poetic lyricism. His human traits were similar: boundless energy, profundity, lyricism - and a rare sense of humour. It is redundant to detail again his close ties with Israel, and especially with the Israel Philhar­ monic Orchestra. On his frequent visits here he not only delighted thousands with the magic of his playing - he also contributed of his spirit and knowledge to many of our young pianists in his master-classes. It is no chance that Israel was chosen (at his own request) as the site of the prestigious Interna­ tional Master Piano Competition that bears his name. The IPO was privileged to honour him by naming after him the soloist's room at the Mann Auditorium, and planting a forest bearing his name in the Jerusalem moun­ tains. On 21 December 1982 he died, leaving behind him countless fond memories, as well as many recordings and the volumes of his thrilling autobiography. This year, the IPO's Jubilee Year on the 50th anniversary of its founding, is also the Centenary of Rubin­ stein's birth: a coincidence that bears more than a hint of symbolism. We hope that the series of festive concerts detailed herein may bring honour to the memory of the maestro.

The President of Israel, Mr. Chaim Herzog 5 Daniel Barenboim pianist Recital no. 5 Tel-Aviv, The Fredric R. Mann Auditorium Tuesday, 27 January 1987 at 8.30 p.m. nnwi Youth Rrthur Rubinstein L ± - r.i--■■ - Daniel Barenboim, pianist Daniel Barenboim needs no introduction any­ where in the world as pianist, conductor or both simultaneously. Born in Argentina in 1942, he studied piano with his father, his only piano teacher, who also prepared him for conducting. He gave his first concert there when he was 7. Two years later his family settled in Israel, and it is as a proud Israeli that Barenboim attained world, fame. His career started to burgeon after his debut with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1953. He first appeared in Paris in 1955, in London and New York in 1956. In 1960 he played all 32 Beet­ hoven sonatas in Israel, a unique feat that he later repeated in South America, London and New York. As a child he also attended Igor Markevilcb's conducting classes at the Salz­ burg Mozarteum, and in 1960 he made his conducting debut in Israel. He first conducted in London in 1967, New York in 1968, Berlin orchestras, and in 1971 was appointed Music Director of the Orchestre de Paris, a position he still holds. In 1973 he further broadened his career, making his debut as operatic conductor at the Edinburgh Festival. He is also very active in chamber music. In addition to the complete Beethoven sonatas, he also performed other unique feats, such as all Mozart piano concertos, which he played and conducted with the IPO and elsewhere throughout the world, as he did all Beethoven piano concertos. He is also a most prolific recording artist. In all his frequent appearances in all continents of the world, as pianist, conductor or in chamber music, including his countless appearances 1906 ,a"nw3 )iwin wen with the IPO, he brings excitement to the world of music and honour to Israel.
