The opening concert of the Salzburg Festival, for many regarded as the world’s most renowned music festival, is by tradition a high-profile event. In 2010 the Festival celebrated its 90th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the Great Festival Hall. Barenboim, in 2010 also celebrated his 60th anniversary onstage, excelled as a soloist and conductor of Beethoven’s lyrical Fourth Piano Concerto. Bruckner´s poignant Te Deum is performed by a quartet of world-class singers: Elina Garanca, Dorothea Roschmann, Franz Josef Selig and Rene Pape.

"Barenboim masterfully conjures up symphonic paintings with a superb, crystalline sense of sonorities [Boulez]". Der Tagesspiegel. "An impressive depiction of the work [Te Deum]" Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "Barenboim constructs his lyrical part [Beethoven] transparently and with sharp contours. […] The Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor is both heavenly and of this world [Te Deum]". Salzburg 24.
