34. Daniel Barenboim

[drunkasaskunk 194]

 

A hands-on approach brought imagination and depth to a second movement that unfolded with a melancholy stateliness. Steadfast resolve and delicate reflection gave way by turns to a warmly consoling conclusion. The Allegro giocoso, with rasping contrabassoon and fluttering piccolo to the fore, was a riot. But it was the mighty passacaglia finale – sculpted here with a rare clarity – that really struck home, its desolate solemnity illuminated by passages of expansive beauty and calm SO SAYS THE GUARDIAN !!!!

Better candidates to retain on the list for 2025. He needs to be dropped.

There was a question on The Chase tonight about his instrument of choice (the contestant answered violin).

An 82 year old with vasculitis - but still travelling around the world and performing live - is not a strong or interesting pick for the list, a certain drop next year imo.

Honestly, if this bloke died in 2025 and he wasn’t on the list I doubt many ppl on here would care. 
 

Boring name, and there are a lot of others who are sicker who should make the list instead.

 

Drop.

The opposite of Canadian Paul's list back in the day: not that interesting (sorry Reptile) and not sick enough!

Always assumed this was a "fuck you, we'll do what we want" reaction to everyone else drafting Michael Tilson Thomas for their 2024 deadpool outfit.

Funnily enough had they picked Tilson Thomas nothing would’ve changed score wise

I like to think that I was responsible for getting him, and Franz Beckenbauer, on the list. If that's the case, sorry, committee, I only got it half-right.

If there are hard decisions to be made, Barenboim is probably on the chopping block.

He’ll be dropped and then keel over mere hours into the new year, just wait

Might happen but that is part of the game.  Every year unless we get a year that we can hit the magically 25 number there will be cuts that need to happen and there is always a chance that a person that is cut dies the next year.  But I agree with @Ulitzer95 in that even if it happens there will not be that much of an outrage over it.  It isn't like he would be a Dick VanDyke type of miss. The committee this year is going to have to do a lot of cutting unfortunately, and he seems to be an easy pick to release.

Or kneel over in the last hours of 2024 just so the committe can say "we told you so".
