On the afternoon of August 19, 1950, a young Daniel Barenboim made his piano debut at the Sala Beyer in Buenos Aires. Fifty years later, Barenboim returned to the same city to give a historic recital at Teatro Colón, which is celebrated as one of the most significant musical events of the 21st century.
