An annual arts event in Argentina had a Jewish flavor this year. Composer Daniel Barenboim won the Person of the Year prize at Monday’s 2004 entertainment awards given by Clarin, Argentina’s largest daily newspaper. The conductor and pianist, who has organized Israeli and Palestinian musicians into an orchestra, also was named top classical music performer. The film prize went to “The Lost Embrace,” an Argentine film that focuses on the daily life of a Jewish family whose father went to Israel to fight in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
