Violinist Michael Barenboim is in Auckland to perform Schoenberg's Violin Concerto in this week's opening concert of the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra 2016 season Degenerate. The works featured by Mendelssohn, Stravinsky and Schoenberg were all banned by the Third Reich, which would've made this concert illegal in 1940s Germany.
