Very beautiful! Thank you very much for Your work Maestro Itzhak Perlman and Madame Toby Perlman.Is so beautiful 🎻🌹🌹

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

Just love this beautiful couple and how they play off of each other. He’s the great artist, but she has the final word. 😂. Thank you!

[@user-jv8kr4im1t]

I'm self taught and just found out she existed!!! I know what I'm doing next, I loved her personality.
I knew of him for a long time so this was a treat.

[@user-op6vy3gg2b]

It interesting talking about practicing without instrument. In fact Heifetz emphasized mental study first. And look at the music
before you go to bed.

[@DjavanCaetano]

Thank you very much!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@patzoffreo5982]

Very good interview. You should have negotiated a 30 minute film clip of watching the Maestro practice - how does he practice and why does he make the choices he does in his practice routine?

[@barbaraweselakfranch1387]

Domestic! :-)

[@rk2qt]

Perlman wants to be a good example for everyone so he says practice slowly. But then his wife calling him out saying “he doesn’t practice slow”. Lol! He’s trying to hide his immortal powers and pretend he practices slow like a normal person. Pfft
Like Superman saying , “yeah I eat healthy, exercise and sleep 8-10hrs per day”

[@lkj974]

A bad case of incredible natural talent. Maybe not the best person to ask for advice for more ordinary players.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

I think there is something we can all learn from just about anyone. Watching him inspires me to play better.
