When I was a kid, a used to listen to this song and it made me want so much to become a violinist, but my family couldn't afford the lessons, so a local orchestra from my town offered me free lessons. I spend 5 years learning and playing with them, but, saddly, the orchestra ended and, this song, the song that made me want to be a violinist, ironically, was the last song I played with them. I will miss forever my teachers and friends for all the moments we had together ❤️
Why not take lessons now? I'm 68 and just started cello a little over 2 years ago. It ain't easy, but I'm loving it and Humoresque is on my bucket list!
Amen a thousand times! It's astounding how much great stuff is available on UA-cam! We all know there can be the most garbage things available as well but depending on one's focus, there is so much to fill one's soul to your heart content!
Japanese conductor, American orchestra, Chinese cellist, Israeli violinist, Czech composer and Taiwanese listener!!! 百聽不厭( Worth hearing/listening a hundred times)!
Nothing gladdens the heart like these two playing sweet music together! Thank-you for posting this 8 years ago --- 8 years later, during the CV epidemic, it is a balm to the soul!
@@v.h.w.2580 It was a crock of panic-fueled bullshit, and now, it's time for people to take steps to make sure that such government overreach can never happen again.
The first piece of music to bring true tears to my eyes. Both collaborate so seamlessly and thrillingly. The melody itself is a balm to the soul, whimsical and bouncy all at once. When played by the two best musicians in the world, it creates the greatest shimmering tapestry of notes. Truly wonderful!
Very true, the last time I was truly touched by a piece when our concert master played meditation from thais, albeit he never knew someone heard him play it.
Itzhak Perlman + Yo-Yo Ma + Seiji Ozawa + Boston Symphony = Paradise of Music Itzhak Perlman is a famous violinist Yo-Yo Ma is a known cellist Seiji Ozawa is a revered Conductor The Boston Symphony is a prestigious orchestra...
I’m playing several times continuously. This moment, they were playing, was perfect… I’m so touched. This moment not owned by human. It’s owned by something else. I badly want to cry when I listening this
Heaven on earth to see the joy on each face, and the harmonies overflowing... Yo Yo used to tell on PBS details on his beloved cello, this part from Lebanon, that part from cuba, and made by Italian,.... every part be different and precious, from all over the world, to stress his point on humanity, diversity and harmony, many times I saw Mr. Pearlman even wears traditional chinese dress in all kinds of colors, much more an ambassador for Ancient Chinese culture. Yes, he is much more so than those making living on that, and he is not getting paid!!! Love this piece and many others, small yet eternal beauty...Thank You.
I havet to comment once more. This arrangement of Dvoraks Humoresque, with two of the most excellent musicians do fully expose this heartbreaking melody of Dvorak. The sound of Itzhaks violine is extrordinary. He is playing on 1714 Soil Stradivarius (ex Yehudi Menhuin). Probably the best violine ever. Look at Yo Yo and Itzhaks faces. How they love playing together and really elegantly present the melodys potensial together with the Orchestra. Pure love.
Dvorak was deeply inspired by African American spirituals and folk songs introduced to him by fellow composer, Harry T. Burleigh. Burleigh was the grandson of enslaved African Americans. Dvorak's New World Symphony echos African American folk music.
@@kubina8730 This is factual. Read his biography, consult an encyclopedia or just Google "Burleigh & Dvorak". They were genuine friends. It's quite true, my Dear.
@kubina8730 Hi, music librarian here! Can you please tell me exactly why you find unlikely that Dvorak would find inspiration in African American music? This is regularly agreed upon by scholarship. Here is some info if you have doubts: While Dvorak worked at the National Conservatory, his assistant H.T Burleigh introduced him to African-American music (especially spirituals) which reportedly he greatly admired. This is shown in his correspondence where he mentions “The future of this country must be founded upon what are called the [African-American] melodies. This must be the real foundation of any serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States.” This is further supported by his quoting of the spiritual "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" as a third theme in his Symphony no.9 "From the New World". Ask away if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help! 😊
My mom first showed me this beautiful piece played by two masters when I was little to inspire me to practice my violin. Now years later I have found the same song and once again it rekindles the magic.
Amazing instrumental duet! No question 2 of the greatest & the best in the world! Magnificent rendition of this Dvorak classic! I love the part @ 01:13 when Yo Yo plucks the strings as if he's tippy-toeing through the melody! Priceless!
Ozawa has not conducted at Boston since 2002. Thank God we have the means to preserve priceless musical gifts such as this! And thank you, MIGHTJLY, for posting! (I'll be listening to Itzhak Perlman play and conduct at Jones Hall in Houston on Valentine's Day. I wish all of you could be my valentines and join me there.)
Let them the sweetest childhood memories caress your hearts this good & never let any evil dare to harm you guys, let's dedicate this gorgeous performance those who need to become your supporters from now on, big loving hug musicians that made of our lives a better place
for context, i am an avid classical music fan and cellist, have listened and performed for almost all my life so far. i have genuinely never heard anything more beautiful. two of the most talented living musicians + an amazing orchestra
My body is shivering from the sheer power from this. Amazing conducter orcistra composer, and off course, soloests. If I had to pick one last piece to listen to, it would be this.
Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman's performance are so romantic and magnificent! From the first glance both of them sound melancholy... but then Ma's cello displays an incredible layer of dynamic, thickness and stability that holds up Perlman's violin ... whose timbre is also expressive and dramatic ... like a gliding feather .... You can tell how two artists communicate their interpretation of the piece through their faces, body language, and timbre ... What a beautiful performance!
Ahhhhh. Gorgeous. ☺️ Remember when YoYo was 7 and I was 9, watching him and his sister playing for President and Mrs Kennedy. He has perfected his game! 🎶
Breath taking beauty which soothes the soul. Who can thumbs down the magnificent musical beauty of these four geniuses, Dvorak, Yo Yo Ma, Perlman and Seiji Ozawa, that’s beyond comprehension!
I'm very impressed by the music they play. I love the way how two great players give and take gently and tenderly the melody to each other and the warm smile with which the cellist takes the violin for its owner after the performance. I know how much they love the music and see now also the secret of the beauty of their music. The composer must be satisfied to hear this performance. Thank you very much for uploading❣
I'mma say it: This is the best "duet" of *any* classical piece in the entire world. PERIODT!! How can something be *so* beautiful? ❤️ The last third, I was sitting there and thinking "Don't let it end! Don't let it eeend!"
Being a norwegian I have to admit my love to Dvorak. And I play violine. And I still dream of playing like Itzhak. The Humoresque is probably the most played and beloved violine piece in the music history? And the performance by Itzhak and Yo Yo Ma is so brillantly exposing Dvoraks wonderful skill to create music for our soul.
2024 anyone?
Yes❤
forever
FB reel took me here
Yeah
❤
Still listening in 2024
Conductor Ozawa passed away on February 9, 2024. I pray that your soul may rest in peace.
im not fucking dead bro???
Japanese conductor, American orchestra, Chinese cellist, Israeli violinist, Czech composer.
Is great music what will bring the humanity together?
Only until they get out of the orchestra hall.
@grimm reaper , thanks for your reply. I had checked from Wikipedia that "Yo-Yo Ma is a Chinese-American cellist"
Yes I have met and enjoyed both with their big hearts and music

Yea but the avg American is too ignorant to understand it. That’s why trash rappers are getting the spotlight
This is what America is all about, diversity! Or it used to be.

"Two are better than one" was never more true than in this marvelous piece.
Es una música muy bella para mi espíritu
This is the most beautiful version of the Humoresken that I've ever heard.
Humoresque*
Sohum S. I think that’s the German translation 🤷🏼♂️
Me too !
So fantastic it’s like a new song each time I listen in.
Just so incredibly beautiful..! ❤
i'm no religious man but this must be what heaven feels like
Sounds like
@@Notrelloo and feels too
It is.
Heaven is where ever Jesus is.
C.S. Lewis, one of the most influential Christins of the 20th century stated that in heaven there will be either music or silence. I hope!
Every time I listen to this, I'm still stunned at how flawless it sounds.
that's it - it's FLAWLESS!
When the world’s greatest violinist and the world’s greatest cellist perform together, it’s enough to make the angels weep.
Yes, it does
Everytime I listen to this performance, I cannot help but tear up. It’s so beautiful and so expressive ❤

Ces deux joyaux de la musique...❤
This is the most beautiful violin and cello ensemble I've heard...every time I listen to it...I feel joy 🥰
The first time i hear them play it i almost cried, very beautiful!
The first time I heard this, i was a beginner cellist. And this inspired me to play more

Two great artists in their prime, I can feel the mutual respect from here.
この演奏に出会うことが出来た私は幸せ者。
大好きな3人が揃った奇跡の演奏。ずっと聴いています♡
GOD. I have never seen anything as beautiful as this brought tears to my eyes.
The softness YO YO MA brings in his playing really touches.
When these two men are gone, they will leave a quarter note shaped hole in our hearts.
Ghey
@@765lbsquat bro-
Not a quarter note. A full note.
One for each of them.
I am so at peace right now. Life has been difficult, all you need is to hear this. So much love and passion in this beautiful piece.
The piece is simple to play, but all these people gave it life in such a beautiful way ❤
Meravigliosi
こんな素晴らしい、ユーモレスクは初めてです。Itzhak Perlmanhは
一番好きなバイオリニストです。Yo-Yo Maもいいですね。
指揮者はSeiji Ozawaなんですね。 響きあって素晴らしい演奏ですね。
Two masters in their element. It doesn't get better than this, folks.
最高の組み合わせ❣️

What a wonderfully played Humoresque by Dvorak

The Boston Symphony is a prestigious orchestra...
couldnt agree more!
And don’t forget the Czech composer, Dvorak !
That violin sounds so cleaaan. Beautiful music and amazing players!
best humoresque recording ever, it moves my heart so bad.
This pieces make me cry
I’m playing several times continuously.
This moment, they were playing, was perfect… I’m so touched. This moment not owned by human. It’s owned by something else. I badly want to cry when I listening this

Amanda Johnson Don’t hold him back with the flow. God intended music to be healing from the beginning.
Well mine are flowing like there's onion's in front of my face T_T
What if you wanted to hold tears back. But Perlman said: 3:07
You "literally" can not hold tears.
I could listen to music like this all day, every day, sublime
my violin teacher was in the boston orchestra in this video.
Hi do you have advanced music sheets for violin
How cool😊
nice
@@rejithkumar5175 tell me what you need, I got you

tocas este arreglo?
다양한 유모레스크 연주를 들어보았지만 해당 영상이 젤 마음이 평온해지고 첼로 소리가 유독 좋더라구요🥰 2:25 3:03
Itzhak looks like he’s sweating but Yo-Yo ma looks like he’s having so much fun 😂
But note that Itzhak doesn’t even need to look at Yo-Yo Ma when doing his transitions 😅 mark of a true genius! Both are equally amazing!
Didn't u mean the other way round?
若き日のヨーヨーマ、パールマン、そしてセイジオザワ。この時期のこの組み合わせ、最高のユーモレスク❤
Brilliant performance. Cello and violin chanting to each other whole heartedly ...
0:54 the cello accompaniment is unbelievably beautiful. especially that climatic chromatic note ...
Breathtaking by all means!
Every single note talks to you...Two great masters performing; bravo!!!
That trumpet coming in at 2:20 gives me the chills
Congrats to that trumpetist, you gotta have great courage and confidence to play behind these gods
I think Yo Yo appreciated it too.
Amazing instrumental duet! No question 2 of the greatest & the best in the world! Magnificent rendition of this Dvorak classic!
I love the part @ 01:13 when Yo Yo plucks the strings as if he's tippy-toeing through the melody! Priceless!
