Some years ago i was in a hospital. There was a patient listening to this music and i ased him, what music is that? So he told me, he was a terminal patient and as his time was running out fast he only listened to the music worthwhile listining to. As this masterpiece surely is. Now, some years later, it is nearly my turn. Only heaven can hold more beautiful music then this. Dirk
19:11
Wonderful music full of energy and delicacy, sympathetic. Uplifting.
Just thinking of you tonight, Dirk. My goodness that first movement takes you places, surpassed only by the third (imo), which makes me laugh and cry. It's just so beautiful, I don't know where to channel the emotions. Hope things are hanging in for you. Sending lots of light. Be well. ~ D
A great story. Thanks for sharing it.
Música celestial!
Thank you Dad and Mom - wherever you are - for giving me the love of your music.
This music makes me think there is hope for mankind after all, Sublime
God bless Mr Perlman for his lifetime of wondrous music.
I cannot understand how it's possible to click "I don't like" to this amazing perform! Perlman is the music, he's the violin!!
Amazing technic but there is no so much soul. Kogan and Heifetz absolutely fantastic violinists .
And don't forget: maestro Barenboim conducting! :D
@@user-um9ro7xl2e "tastes are not discussed" and I respect your "taste". I think Perlman plays with his own heart every single note. Kogan was one of the best violinist of the history with the technique of Heifetz and the sound of Oistrakh. But I think Perlman is still the best violinist alive in the world.
Gente que, simplemente no tiene alma: están vacíos, ya que resulta imposible no conmoverse ante lo sublime de esta espléndida obra y su extraordinaria ejecución.
Espectacular!! MAGNIFICO!! FELICITACIONES!!
When a violinist hobbles on crutches to his seat and smiles the whole time you know he is a great man before he ever plays a note; he is more than a great violinist, he is a universal treasure.
Щ99д
I felt that, too.
True. And his being great shows a lot to his playing. My impression of him (when he plays music) is that he's a very gentle person. ❤
@@redfoxakame 9
Yes he is!
This violin concerto introduced me to classical music when I was 12. I found Perlman's rendition in the local library on tape cassette, 43 years later and it is still my favourite concerto. I learned to play the violin as a result. I would pretend to be the conductor, waving my chopsticks in the air, tears running down my face, such was the beauty of this concerto. The first movement alone is a masterpiece (almost a symphony in itself). Perlman is on another level, and I have yet to find another violinist come near his interpretation of Beethoven's one and only violin concerto, thank you thank you thank you...
Я тоже расплакалась,когда зазвучала скрипка,не знаю какими словами описать чувства в душе…
True
Some of my first memories are of my Daddy upstairs in his den playing the first movement over and over again, he must have been obsessed with it. I was too shy to go upstairs and listen alongside him so I sat entranced at the bottom of the stairs - the same flight of stairs I am looking at now, 65 years later, alone with my cats in the house I inherited from my dear parents.
This was late 50's or early 60's. The performer, I learned much later, was Suzanne Lautenbacher. I was barely more than a baby and this was probably the first piece of classical music I ever heard. It made a big impression! At the time I didn't realize the impression made was one of a kind - that only as an innocent child could a piece of great music so magically entrance you - at the time it was just beautiful music I loved.
Daddy eventually stopped playing it and the years passed and I forgot all about it until one day, when I was maybe 23, I was digging through his old LP collection and I found it. I put it on and with those first few drum beats tears started streaming . . .it was overwhelmingly beautiful and nostalgic. By the time I got to the cadenza (the solo portion, the one by Fritz Kreisler, also played by Pearlman here) I was back there again and in a Proustian epiphany I had remembered not just that time and how it felt but I remembered and regained "child", or some faint echo of it at least.
Ever since then I have been obsessed. The effect on me is something more than music. This movement is, for me, an object of special power, unique in the universe, a portal back to that time and back to the heart and mind of that tiny child who sat in awe at the bottom of these stairs.
Thank you so much for your wonderful story. All good wishes.
❤
got tears reading that❤
This is why parents should play these great pieces of music to their children at a young age. We're so lucky to be able to see and hear this. Thank you for your story and what it brings.
🙏 Really a wonderful story. Thank you very much 😍 for sharing !
This will go down in history.....
Perlman-Barenboim is the best concerto duo ever
Two Jewish Masters with their hands and hearts giving us one of the dearest gifts in this world as Beethoven's music is
Realizują kibucową ZASADĘ TALENTÓW 😍 i plemiennego marketngu w przeciwieństwie do zwodzonych mas.
I find this odd. Would you say "Two Black Masters," "Two Chinese Masters," "Two German Masters?" What does being Jewish have to do with it? How about two beautifully talented musicians (and yes, I know one is a conductor) bring Beethoven's concerto to extraordinary life?
@@denisesalles7248 I agree, it stuck out like a sore thumb, clanked on the floor making the rest of his/her comment somewhat shallow and sounding insincere. Is he implying it is a surprise that Jewish musicians can perform this well, or is he suggesting that is because they are Jewish that they perform so well?
@@user-hd6rk6cd5t I have no idea - I just found it weird and unnecessary. Maybe part of the "anti-semitism isn't ok" movement?
@@denisesalles7248 Many very famous Jewish musicians ( pianists , violinists ).
20 Years ago one could say "Jewish ", but today it is forbidden ?
Millions of people world wide can never attend a concert like this but what an astonishing blessings that we cna see and hear this performance . Deo gratias.
program's English: not mine. Blessing (singular) and "can" not cna! Interesting that the Latin thanks to God was not in the dictionary at all!

Divino sublime
Amen amen andxAmen on Good fryday if I did not have youtube I could never listen to the divine music..thank you Lord for today again!❤

This piece helps with my depression and anxiety. Whenever I am baraged with non-stop negative thoughts, this is the only piece that stops those voices. I don't know why but thank you Beethoven.
That's "Ludwig" to you!
Oir musica clasica es lo mas sublime que hay. Viva la felicidad.
This concerto is a gift to us all. I can't believe how beautiful it is. I'm so happy it adds so much to your life.
why don't you know why?
"Music gives wings to the soul. "....Plato
Itzhak is not just a great violinist. He is a doctor. He heals my soul and heart.
That's a beautiful thought; I think Maestro Perlman would love it.
Well said
Two geniuses meet: Beethoven and Perlman. sublime.
We live in a miraculous age. We are here in this beautiful room listening to music's greatest masters.
Itzak + Stradivarius + Beethoven =

Divin the superb conversing timing
Listen at least once a week . Superb

That smile on Perlman's face- a man who truly loves his 'work'. Just stunning...
Precioso , magnífico, graciassss
True! Not much grimacing when he plays, mostly smiles.
It is not “work”; it is his life.
@@csottohal Exactly
I was thinking the same!
My man introduced me to Classical music years ago. I am so grateful for it. Beethoven is his favorite and he spends many hours listening to it. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of it because of him.
This concerto makes my soul sing and soar.....played by Itzak Perlman it is indeed sublime
I STARTED LOVING THIS MUSIC IN MY EARLY 20S NOW EARLY 80S
Me tooooo :)
Me too. Life is too short but Art is forever!
I was in High School...now I am sixty-two and it's just like the first time each time Mr. Perlman plays. It's obvious it's played from his soul. I nearly weep for joy when he plays. Thank you.
Me too 21 ,from Seoul

My father, John W. Helton, was also a master violinist. I remember him playing this piece with the Music Minus One series of recordings... outstanding virtuoso. He was also an accomplished composer and conductor of the Houston Youth Symphony back in the 70s. Later on in life he took up the balilika and played with the Houston Balilika Society. He also taught violin and piano. Dad was constantly in demand for concerts and other various events. He brought all of us up being involved in music and the arts. I myself played violin with the Houston Youth Symphony and attended school at the prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts... but I was never more than a mediocre fiddlist. Hearing Itszak Perlman playing reminds me of Dad... and all the memories
🎉🎉❤
Que. Hermosa vida !! Rodeado de música Si es un placer escuchar a Perlman Un grande !
Cuando me dicen; mira que bien toca el violín, recuerdo a Perlman y no digo nada “Perlman,Yehudi” Únicos Se me escapa otro, no puedo recordar el nombre, pero también un Grande ❤
We played this piece this evening in Jones Hall with Perlman. I'm glad you have fond memories of music in Houston and of your father. HSPVA is downtown now and the orchestra there attended our morning rehearsal yesterday. My son is now part of that group. I hope he has good memories as well when he is older.

It just doesn’t get any better than this! Beethoven, Perlman & Barenboim! I love UTUBE everyday for bringing us this content. Where else, in what era, was this possible? I’m 73+ yrs. old and I’ve loved classical music for most of my life...and it’s never been so universally accessible. So glad to be alive today❣️Marijane
You are right, Marijane, Beethoven's Violin Concerto performed by Perlman....exquisite. Beethoven always manages to reach the heart, while the phenomenal Perlman somehow extracts every last ounce of emotion from this piece. And you are right about YT also, an unbelievable resource for those of us who adore classical music for which we should be eternally grateful. But even as a LvB ( and Wagner) addict I find that Brahms Violin Concerto moves me more!
Btw, I discovered RW quite late in life... he too created some of the most profoundly romantic/heroic, epic even....compositions.
Cheers!
nah...neither smart, nor beautiful - on the great violin
@@maelughran6981 Yes, I also love the Brahms concerto! I must admit I know very little about Wagner’s music other than the obvious, popular ones, but you’ve piqued my interest and that will be my next Utube search!
Your enthusiasm is INFECTIOUS! May it go VIRAL. :)
Perlman is the epitome of what it means to have music at the core of one's soul. I'm sure the great Beethoven would have heartily approved of this magical performance.
Had Beethoven at any point ever able to physically hear his work..? Even so there most have been such a vault of tones... An endless range of notes vying for the opp. To be born... To come ALIVE .. It must , at times as sadistically calming as herding kittens
@Kim Jeffries- I was thinking that as well!
@@richardmorrison6510 Yes he was able to physically hear much of his work- his hearing loss occurred later in life.
♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹
Enjoying this fine rendition life is good 👍
Durch diese Musik wurde ich geheilt von Depression. Sie sind mein Vorbild.Danke. Mein liebster Komponist und der beste Violinspieler der Welt. Da ist man an den Tor des Himmels.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
He's not dead yet!! And thank goodness for that, too!
Zo mooi😮
There are just no words to fully describe the beauty of this. Thank you Mr. Perlman.
how can anyone feel sorry for him/herself after listening to this music played by a man who can't walk and composed by a man who couldn't hear ?
Best of the shorter remarks in this string , with or without your permission , I'm stealing it for an article I am writing...

The tone is so rich. And also the way Perlman plays, as if he is not trying hard at all, but instead relaxed, submerged. Very blessed and talented Perlman is
Wonderful music so beautifully played Perlman is a real treasure and a very gifted 👨
Lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this. ❤❤❤
Me, too.
A breathtaking performance of the Beethoven violin concerto: Barenboim splendid at the helm; Perlman at his unbeatable best; and behind and under and through it all, the marvellous Berlin Philharmonic. Beethoven performed here with near definitive precision and profundity. A marvellous spectacle.

If it is true which it seems to be that music calms the savage beast , whatever that may be , it is better than any medicine one could take. I take it often .
I was thinking exactly the same thing…and also what a treasured gift to be able to be sitting at home watching this miracle unfold before my very eyes whenever I wish! How fortunate we are!!!
Amen!
Agree!
28 years ago and still a masterful performance.
Thanks for posting the date ! It doesn’t matter, but still 🙏at moments like this everything seems perfect in the world. The way it should be.
Que maravilla
For over 50 years I have been enthralled by Beethoven and his genius. First with his 9th symphony and then this Violin Concerto. I first heard it performed by the legendary Jasha Heifowitz, now by Itzhak Perlman.
It still runs chills in my heart to hear such excellence!
Zino Francescatti was my first introduction to the concert, and still my favourite, closely followed by Perlman.
😊
Which other pieces do you truly love by Beethoven, excluding his symphonies? The violin concerto and 9th symphony are also my favourites.
His “Pathetique” Piano Sonata also the
“Emperor Concerto for piano & orchestra.
A must hear is the Fidelio aria from his one and only Opera.
Life doesn't get any better than hearing this
The best violin concerto ever !
RIP Great Beethoven.

This music helps us to live.
I totally agree! It's hard to imagine a finer performance of this sublime piece.
I listen to this concert in the first hours of the new year, because it vibrates at high frequencies, especially when it is performed by such musicians. Perlman is the splendor of time, which has a violin in the soul, and the soul in the violin.
Me too Lauretta, complete with my greyhound who struggled through the fireworks!! Just beautiful,beloved Beethoven. Joan
Our Great violinist also has a Great violin. The sound is out of this world.
@@maryn.4492 That's a Stradivarius violin made in 1714. Both the Violin and Perlman play happily together. 🎻😍🎻
What a gifted player, I say ,no violin player any better, I love this music I play old time string music and this man is a gift to music @
I love what you wrote! 👏🏾
Hear hear
Thanks for the vibes 💜
I doubt any of us will ever hear a greater performance of this masterpiece in our lives. Sublime.
Don't forget the genius of the man, Beethoven late in life conscripted such beautiful music...deaf. He heard it in his mind and wrote the scores, even conducted his compositions never hearing a note but what was in his mind, masterful genius.
When my children were little they want “boom boxes” that played cassette tapes. I got them each one with the only stipulation that they play classical tapes at night when they sleep. My daughter rebelled and never played them. My 8 year old son however, stuck to the deal. I asked him if he could tell identify the composers. He said “yes, Bach is playful, Beethoven flows like a river, Mozart is the river”.
@@mikecantrell2397 beautiful
Although he couldn’t hear the music as we do but he can hear it in his mind and Beethoven was willing to share it to the world by composing such beautiful music.
There was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as deafness and depression set in and Beethoven's Ode to Joy as music lifted him out of it. The most valuable thing to understand about the man.
แม่เมาะ แต่วันหนึ่งบังเอิญมีแมลงสาปมาเล่นปินไต่จากขาขึ้นไปที่ร่าง มีอารมณความรู้สึกถึงขนใต้ขาหลังพริ้วไหวที่ผิวกายขณะทำตัวนิ่งๆและเมื่อขยับตัวดูเหมือนหล่อนจะตกใจจึงได้กระโจนออกจากร่างไปในทันที
this beautiful man makes magic with a little wooden box in his hands...
That's a different but profound way of thinking of it! I like it...
And the wooden box looks so small in his hand.
I want to live somewhere where this is popular music 🎶❤️
Both the conductor and violinist are extraordinary! What a feast of music!
How does one judge a conductor? Genuine question, I am a novice here.
Perlman is an inspiration for mankind!
Hilary Hahn is very very good as well.
@@3dmaker699 no one's making any comparisons. They are both great. Hilary Hahn's cadenzas are all to die for.
I found a 4 CD Perlman set with this recording included when I was 18 and couldn’t afford the $50 price tag. It ended up the first gift I received from a beloved friend. I still have it 20 years later. Memorized every note. One of my treasured possessions.
Lost count how often I listen to this piece.
Itzak is just the most miraculous violin talent of the ages.
What a sublime gift to us music lovers! 💓
💗
A masterpiece played by a master. So beautiful how he feels every note. It’s a gift to have something so beautiful in an ugly world.
I adore Itzhak Perlman - for his talent and virtuosity but even more as a person. He is always happy and smiling as he arrives on stage to play - despite the fact that mobility is a challenge for him. Such a positive force in the World. So needed - especially now. Bravo 👏👏🎶
A great man, a great artist
@Canuckmom1958 loved your post. “Like “ is too feeble a word for either your post or Itzhak Perlman. Or Daniel Barenboim whom I knew of as a teenager. The orchestral sound was strikingly “tender/soft” yet full-bodied. Wow. Music by the auditor ally challenged Ludwig van Beethoven
I was giggling as I watched this - his incredible talent just pours out of those fingers and his expressions as he plays helps me feel some of his exuberance. Brilliant!
You can feel his soul when he plays.
He didn't smile when he played the music from Schindler's list in London. Neither did anyone else, it was so hauntingly beautiful
When a violin concerto opens with a beautiful, eyewatering wind ensemble, what can one say but "Beethoven". This piece defies time.
MARAVILLOSO....ESTOY COMO FLOTANDO,EN MEDIO De QUIMIOTERAPIA ....GRACIAS POR ESTA MARAVILLA!!!!!
Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto too (the second movement :)
@@Dylonely42 i often do a mind exercise thinking about the two pieces and try to convince myself which one i like more and why. Its very difficult cuz both are truly amazing!
@@Dee010s For me, Tchaikovsky’s one is obviously better. Perhaps you really like classical music as romantic.

Nothing is forever, but in this age of temporary jobs, temporary love and temporary friendships I am glad that there are people like I.Perlman and other wonderful musicians who help make Beethoven sound so great that one wats to believe that it is forever...or may be it is just Classical?
The first time I heard this concerto was when I was in 9th grade, and suffering from the serious congestion produced by a cold. I was lying down in front of the fireplace, listening to the concerto and my father was sitting on the sofa, and I found myself sobbing through the entire piece, its beauty affecting me deeply.
He always leaves one with beautiful emotions☺️ Is this your favorite song if I may ask?
Reading your comment and remembering when I first heard the concerto around the same age I'm sitting here surprised to find tears in my own eyes!
Such a beautiful memory sitting with your father! I cry every time I listen to this piece especially Itzhak Perlman’s rendition with Berenboim conducting. 🥰
@@scottrichard1492 This is indeed my favorite classical composition and Perlman is a violinist beyond belief. His instrument makes one realize why musicians will pay a king's ransom for a Stradivarius

Un genio assoluto. Il concerto per violino e orchestra sembra che Beethoven l'abbia scritto pensando a quando l'avrebbe eseguito Perlman, il più grande violinista vivente da oltre 50 anni.

That violin tone is unbelievable!
At 47: 08 it felt like Ludwig was begging God to let him hear it just once.
Perlman did a workshop at our college. He asked students to hand him their violins and bows. He proved he could make any violin sing ! Wow. Every cheap violin sounded wonderful in his masterful hands.
By far the most beautiful performance of this masterpiece I've ever heard.
Another answered prayer when the UA-cam algorithm dropped this amazing, soul-stirring selection into my feed. I really needed this. I was raised on classical music from as far back as I can remember. On Saturday and Sunday mornings my father would have the radio tuned to Sunrise Symphony on WOR out of New York. This was back in the 1940's. Have always loved this piece. Once my parents were able to buy a console with a radio AND a phonograph, my father started collecting classical music on records so we could listen to that marvelous music any time. My aunt was a violinist and played with our community orchestra. Anytime there was a concert ANYWHERE near us (we lived in north Jersey) featuring a violin concerto, she would take me with her to hear it. I'm 78 years old now but I remember the first time Itzhak Perlman appeared on TV. He was introduced as a "new, young, violinist" on a level with some of the other recent virtuoso violinists. Don't remember which selection he played that day, but there was something about his music 🎶 that touched my heart and soul. I remember saying to my Dad that I knew he was going be one of the greatest violinists that ever lived. His sound was not like anyone elses. Being able to hear this tonight has been a true gift. This is my favorite violin concerto. It's too bad Beethoven didn't write more for the violin. But perhaps he felt he would never be able to equal this. If anything, Perlman's music has gotten so much sweeter with the years. Thank you again Itzhak and Beethoven.
Wonderful comment
Aloha God Bless You !
I started with the Suzuki Method at 3 and learned music theory and how to read n write music just before writing and reading English. My sister's too but they played piano / flute violin. I played trumpet and violin. My grandfather sat on the st Louis Symphony ..
My Uncle Frank Schindler studied for decade in Paris and was a great teacher and pianist of Bach especially .. Grandma Schindler played the organ at church til 93 !
This piece here Itzhak Perlman + Stradivarius + Beethoven is my favorite song for last 10 months haha we are both happy to find this.

Beethoven actually wrote quite a few more pieces for the violin, including his two romances and the sonatas for violin and piano. : ) They are all very good

Totally agree. He is transcendent 💕
Perlman sometimes makes a violin sound like a cello, other times indistinguishable from a song bird. Absolutely healing. . . . the love and respect on the faces of the orchestra in camera view when he walks on; it's palpable.
Ouvir esse violinista, é o mesmo que entrar no Paraíso sem pedir licença!
Two of Israel’s finest with the Berlin Philharmonic with one of Germany’s finest composer. Imagine this in 1943!

Helen! So true. What a lovely comment
I grew up in Appalachia, never exposed to Beethoven. Somewhere I came by a cd of this in the 70s. I drove from Newhall CA to West LA for work. During my drive I listened to this and traffic didn’t bother me. It is so spiritually transcendent it defies words. Perlman is really great. DB is no slacker. Fantastic.
ugh! the way the violin just sings
The great tragedy is that Beethoven only composed a single violin concerto. It was not well received initially and then not until after his death. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music every created, and Perlman plays effortlessly and with infectious joy. If I only had one piece of classical music to listen to, this would be it.
Dear David,
When such a perfect play is delivered to the world - as Perlman offered us! - is done... there's no need for more!
Any violin concert can be wonderful, amazing, incredible.... this one - Perlman, Barenboim... - is the absolute gift to us...
It is hard to top this. Why even trying?
The main theme in the last movement always gives me the image of a child trying to entice a parent to join in play. The orchestra's echo is the parent lumbering along after the child skips lightly.
@@ekaram63 if no one tried, we wouldn't have the Brahms concerto, or Sibelius, or Tchaikovsky, etc.
And to think that Beethoven almost committed suicide! He was in the depths of despair over his declining health and hearing loss, and stated in a letter that he had strongly considered suicide, but decided not to, because of the importance of his "art." (See the two-hour Beethoven documentary that came out a couple years ago.) Thank God for that!! If he had killed himself, this piece and other of his best works would never have been created.
The words are poor to express the beauty of this Concerto and the quality of this performance !!!!!!!!
One of the great musical wonders !!!
@@sonyadight276 I love it !
Brings one to silence immediately ♥️🙏
Just achingly beautiful...
he can make ones soul cry
Beautiful beyond words. And there is my violin lying over there on a chair wishing I could play it like that.
Have loved his violin for more than 3 decades. Unfortunately, can't play his records or even his CDs, because my devices died and I can't afford new ones. My thanks to anyone, who has put these beautiful pieces of music unline, for me to be able to listen to. Thank you Itzak and yous. who are with me.
My wife’s name is Cheri (spelled your way) and her last name starts with « B ». Did a double take!

Quel maitrise du violon, Itzhak Perlman, quel travail, un plaisir d'écoute immense, accompagné d'un grand chef. Je considère cette prestation comme une référence d'écoute pour cette œuvre de Beethoven.
I truly marvel that once Mr Perlman puts instrument to chin, I am brought such joy because of the joy HE brings to his musicality.
I think it’s the most beautiful of violin concertos (and there are so many to choose from). I played a recording of this concerto for my mother (it was he favourite) as she lay on her deathbed and I will never ever forget her reaction. It moved her to another place. Someplace only she new where😊❤️🙏
How beautiful it's very healing especially 1st movement I love your comment music is the voice of the spirit ❤️😊
Rob Bell Rory! Is me on UA-cam a song about my mate from university who's got cancer.
Definitely the most beautiful violin concerto
🌹
YO PODRIA HABER DICHO EXACTAMENTE LO MISMO QUE TU ......PERO TU YA LO DIJISTE TODO!!!!!!
I think this is the best performance of the violin concerto I have ever come across.
Dios mío, no me canso de escuchar ests obra tan majestuosa que nos regalo Bethoveen, interpretada y dirigida por dos grandes genios, gracias 🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤❤❤
So happy to be here on this planet; so filled with gratitude.
What a most beautiful and sublimely spiritual ending to the first day of 2022 this has been for me thanks to Maestro Perlman.
Bravo!
I simply love this piece by Beethoven. It has a melancholic beauty. Perlman is superb.

A ending and a start of anything any time! Yes, truly sublime.
I'm old enough to remember Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic when he was at his sexiest. His dramatic quality was indisputable but i always found his tempi at tad frenzied. Younger musicians and conductors understand that Beethoven is best just on a tad slower tempo.
This performance is unsurpassed.
The more I listen to it the more tears just flow: happy, complex, most fulfilling tears.
Cheers from Oz 🦘
Bravissimo
Itzhak Perlman is the Best! I love the way he doesn't need the music, plays by memory. BRAVO!!
11:09 He is an absolute genius who brings music to life
I've seen Perlman in Person, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. What a treat! I have to say I shed quite a few tears with that performance.
Oh, Ooooo, this is my first time hearing him play, it's simply perfect, that's it!
This is probably one of the greatest recordings of all time.
I love the roar of the audience when the music ends, and again a few seconds later when Maestro Perlman stands! It's one more thing to enjoy about this wonderful performance.😘🎶
Meravigliosa interpretazione
Perlman and Barenboim...masters!
Pearlmsn is a jewel himself ... this is celestial melody to anyone's soul and heart ... exquisite nectar from the genius from Bonn !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
ITZHAK PERLMAN the Legendary Violinist !!!!
I heard Maestro Perlman play this concerto with the Toronto Symphony in Carnegie Hall during the NYC marathon on a Sunday afternoon in the Fall of 1987. He stood in for the singer who was sick, every note was perfect. I was in the cheapest seat at the top of the hall and he was a dot on the stage but the sound lingers with me still , to see him now so close up, every expression, his fingers and bow moving effortlessly. Thank you, thank you for posting this on UA-cam.
Sounds like a dialogue of the artist with God
One word only: amazing Mr. Perlman
The fact he can memorize this entire piece is just insane.
