I finally got to see Zukerman live at age 58.. It was well worth the 5 hour drive. He has been one of my favorite musicians since I was in junior high school.
I heard him when he was 46. OH DEAR GOD...one of the absolute best musicians I've ever listened to live. I've pretty much heard (or played) with them all.
I remember watching this documentary when it came out. As a result I wrote a song 'Pinky' for my prog rock band which I still play up to this day. Pinchas Zukerman is for sure one of the greatest violinists of all time!
The way Zukerman handled the heckler at 53:10 was great! (what a rude jackass, complaining about the light [per the info in the comments from Allegro Films) It's really impressive that he and the other musicians were able to maintain their composure and give a great performance.
I heard Ravi Shankar play in Varanasi, India in 1987. Two ladies near me were babbling loudly. Shankar stopped playing and said in a calm voice: "If the two ladies in the audience would please shut up so I can continue playing." Andres Segovia was known to make similar announcements, but that blithering idiot was in a class by himself.
@@ItIsJustJudy For people who don't like the recording, they probably didn't want the camera crew and lighting crew getting in the way. For me, I would love it because then I can always go back to re-watch the same concert and catch things I might have missed during Live.
He may be "talented" in playing violin but he's a sad little pathetic racist, and not fit to be called a "master" Just look up on he's long standing hatred and racist rant on Asian musicians and students. I suspect his hatred is born from the fact "he shared the Leventritt Prize with the Korean violinist Chung Kyung-wha in 1967" and it's a little know fact that it WAS NOT a fair contest, Zukerman made a mistake but he was given a special treatment and allow to go second time. Even after that, he still couldn't beat Chung, they ended up sharing the prize. Why is this a big deal? think about it. It was 1967, back then it was almost impossible for woman win the prize (let alone an Asian woman) due to a long standing patriarchy and sexism. Plus the deep rooted racism. But this the decision was still "shared" prize. This must have hurt his pride very early on and later developed into a racist hatred born out of the inferiority complex on Asians :p
Seeing this again after decades reminds me of why I was such a fan of Zuckerman when I started playing the violin. Does anybody know what the piece is at 21:40? Sounds Schumannesque to me.
Thanks for offering this film on YT. I am used to seeing a list of the music played in the film at the end with the credits, but unfortunately there isn't one. Can anyone identify the violin and flute duo Pinchas played with his wife? Thanks.
Thanks a lot, Adrian. But the time stamp you gave above is for a vivaldi concerto. I asked about the piece at 19:05 which I think you probably identified but I am having trouble finding a sonata for two flutes in G major. The andante I hear above sounds to me in the minor key, though.
Saw him several times back in the 80's and 90's. Once I got the impression that he went straight from the airport to walking on stage with very little warm up. He was pretty good though once he got warmed up about 15 minutes in.
Could anyone tell exactly what the person said in the audience at ~53:10, please? I'm curious about it, to get that answer from mr. Zukerman... (in my interpretation, it seems to combine with what the speaker says, that "people would see how he would go on his 1st conducting' (something like that).
0:00:28; you damned fools. You god of nature will do you no good, now, or ever. Now on with the video I came hopefully to find intelligent and informative, ?
Seems that Zukerman's career didn't really take off for whatever reason--certainly not like Perlman, Barenboim, Mehta, Du Pre, Ashkenazy, et al. Don't know why.
@@jeanparke9373 You haven't made the case that Zukerman's career took off in any comparable way. Perlman becomes one of the top 5 leading violinists in the world; same for Du Pre as a cellist; same for Ashkenazy as a pianist; same for Barenboim as a pianist (though moreso as a conductor); same for Mehta as a conductor. Zukerman nowhere near the others.
For one thing, Zukerman is not only a violinist/violist. He is also a conductor. I lived in St. Paul when he was music director of the St. Paul Chamber Orchectra. He has also directed other groups. Someone who concentrates on performing as a soloist around the world gets more recognition, I think. Perhaps his path was just a personal choice.
100+ major recordings of the entire repertoire, many of which with the most prestigious orchestras in the world, 5 decades of an international touring career on the world's biggest stages, head of a performance program in New York that bears his name, former music director of 2 orchestras and principle guest conductor of the royal philharmonic orchestra, being considered the gold standard by many in the industry... never took off?
@@NICKRL13 Hahaha! A - MEN!!!! My thoughts, exactly! Zukerman also seems to have always loved playing chamber music as well as being a soloist. And as much as I love the way Perlman’s musical mind works, I love Zukerman’s, because they’re so excellent in very different ways.
I play classical music and deeply appreciate musicians but have zero respect for such disgraceful and racist ones. Zukerman must stop making culturally insensitive and ignorant remarks to young musicians who are Asian or Asian descendants.
It’s really sad that unfulfilled people feel better when they slam someone who’s talent and art is simply beyond their understanding. What Zukerman says about others is completely separate from how he plays his violin or viola. Nobody forces us to watch documentaries or performances involving musicians we don’t like….if you don’t like the subject, exercise your right to go somewhere else!
I finally got to see Zukerman live at age 58.. It was well worth the 5 hour drive. He has been one of my favorite musicians since I was in junior high school.
I just saw him live for the first time last month and I hope the next opportunity comes soon

From 18:10 on the left side that's my grandfather from Bartok String Quartet! 😍They played Mendelssohn oktet with Pinky and Kyung Wha Chung in Spoleto

Anne Dwyer Ikr?? I would have put my violin away and picked up a fist fight with that fucker...

I honestly don’t understand. I’d actually be excited if I knew a concert I was attending was being recorded.

wow! The Mozart! Just mind blowing!
I Didnt know this was on youtube i have been searching for this one for years! Thank you!
Such a beautiful doc. Thanks for the post.
Bravo Pinky! Beautiful violinist, beautiful spirit, and I loved how you shut down that stupid heckler!!! :-)
Wonderful Documentaries

They don't mention that Pinky shared first prize of the Leventritt in 1967 with Kyung-Wha Chung. That's a story in itself.
How fitting of a place to play the adagio from the first sonata.
Hey his polonaise A Major towards the end of the film sounds cool 😎 upbow staccato 👌
Brilliant
Wonderful
24:40 is perhaps the only section that Christopher Nupen filmed Leonard Bernstein, which is quite of a pity.
Voracious Reader Or it’s simply because Nupen pretty much only filmed instrumentalists.
About a minute in or so he is playing at Caesarea in Israel isn’t he! I was there last October. So beautiful and acoustically fantastic.
See how Pinky does not need a baton to conduct the orchestra!
I think he could control a horse without reigns!
this with the horse, an excellent comparison.
I like hearing P.. Z. so much. He is a genius. And so humble and sympathetic!
Splendido
Este reportaje,de Pinchas Zukermam,.traducido al español. por favor. Grande Músico👏👏💖🌟
Wonderful doc! Does anyone know what piece he is playing at the final credits of this video?
Seeing this again after decades reminds me of why I was such a fan of Zuckerman when I started playing the violin. Does anybody know what the piece is at 21:40? Sounds Schumannesque to me.
I think I've found the answer. The Intermezzo by Schumann from the FAE Sonata that became a movement of the Sonata No 3.
I Never heard so wonderful music
Thanks for offering this film on YT. I am used to seeing a list of the music played in the film at the end with the credits, but unfortunately there isn't one. Can anyone identify the violin and flute duo Pinchas played with his wife? Thanks.
It¨s Telemann Sonata in D Major for two flutes, TWV 40:102
Thanks a lot, Adrian. But the time stamp you gave above is for a vivaldi concerto. I asked about the piece at 19:05 which I think you probably identified but I am having trouble finding a sonata for two flutes in G major. The andante I hear above sounds to me in the minor key, though.
it's not the time, it's a catalogue number of tge work: TWM means Telemann werke verzeichnis

Traducir en español por favor☺️
Could anyone tell exactly what the person said in the audience at ~53:10, please? I'm curious about it, to get that answer from mr. Zukerman...
(in my interpretation, it seems to combine with what the speaker says, that "people would see how he would go on his 1st conducting' (something like that).
The person in the audience says in German "Licht aus!", what means "Turn off the light" and someone answers "Ruhe" ("Quiet down").
He says GET OUT! OUT! OUT!
25:15 exactly correct
Does anyone know who is the violinist who praises Zukerman at 46:09? Thanks
He seems straigh out of some Monthy Python sketch 😄
LIkely a member of St. Paul Chamber Orchestra circa 1985
What is exactly going on on 53:09? Can somebody explain?
Dude in the audience was complaining about the lights required to film the concert

Well. It did, but in a weird way. There are some people who still consider Zukerman as a sidekick of Perlman - which is of course horribly wrong.

1Q
Better than Perlman.
How come he didnt became as famous as Perlmann? Ive come here and first hearing about him after watching a Perlmann documentary.
No better, just different.
Shut up fucking simple human
I play classical music and deeply appreciate musicians but have zero respect for such disgraceful and racist ones. Zukerman must stop making culturally insensitive and ignorant remarks to young musicians who are Asian or Asian descendants.
Have you heard what he says about Korea in this video? ua-cam.com/video/3ZbokdOmG4Q/v-deo.htmlstart=5270
@@tompenn-davies9560 How he compliments how they see music?
Zuckerman has studied only music all his life. So there is a very lack of common sense. And he likes to insult people who are more talented than him.
One problem with what you said is that there is no one more talented than him.
@@NICKRL13 Heifetz, but I agree
@RapidMushroom Heifetz no longer is. Dead since late 1987.
