Talk to Al Jazeera - Daniel Barenboim: A musical path to peace

Music, an escape from reality? Not to world-renowned Israeli Argentine-born conductor Daniel Barenboim, who believes that music rather creates a bigger reality.

“A great piece of music is like a whole life, it deals in sounds with problems of mankind .... You have everything you have in human life. You have conflict, love, strategy, possibility to develop ideas,” he explains.

During a visit to Doha, Daniel Barenboim talks to Al Jazeera about the power of music and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
