    Itzhak’s version feels like the violin is crying deep inside but still trying to hold back the tears and putting on a straight face.

    The fact that the audience pauses for roughly 6 seconds after the piece is completed just shows how moved everyone was. The fact that Perlman was able to do that with his violin reveals how marvelous of a musician he was. He moved an ENTIRE audience. Not ONE person knew what to do when the song was over. EVERYONE was so full of emotion for the song. Bravo to you Itzhak Perlman. You are a fine musician.

    To dive into Schindlers list is to dive into a pit of loneliness. To immerse in Schindlers list is a challenge to ones soul. You begin to relate to these people and you begin to relate with the pain and sorrow. I don't believe there is a better film ever made. It's the most haunting experience I've ever had watching film. And this song wrote by John played by the great itzahk is the most beautiful piece of music for film. There's no comparison. If you don't feel something when hearing it you're dead inside. There's something about it that simply haunts you. It's superb.

    Everytime someone publishes a performance of the theme of Schindler's List, I always return to this performance for a comparative study. Many violonists play this piece with a slower tempo, but for me the tempo which Itzhak Perlman plays this intrinsically sad melody demonstrates the urgency of time for the poor victims who had so little time left by continually pushing the song through. I have always felt that this performance is like the sound of a human voice reproduced by the violon. Mr Perlman plays the piece with such a deep understanding that only age can bring. This piece truly belongs to him. PWhat also makes this performance so great is John Williams' understanding of Hebraic folk music for the composition as well as his wonderful conducting skills. He holds back the orchestra at certain points to let the violin sing its melancholic song and then controls the timing perfectly of that so important last note. It enraptured the entire audience so much they didn't breathe or clap for 6 seconds. It always makes me cry without fail.

"Fanya, give the guard your jewlry" said grandma to my aunt. So the aunt did and the guard turned away his head as she holding the hand of her son escaped into a sideway street. They survived but from that moment nobody has heard any news about my grandma.

    I can't count the amount of times I've heard this music, and this time as many before, I cried, you can feel the pain and anguish of the people that died, during the war in each and every note. but also the hope of a release in time, which came. I was a war baby, I grew up during and shortly after the war. so this meant I grew up hearing all the atrocities that happened. Thank you for sharing ECF

    This music weeps not only for the Jews, but for all the oppressed peoples of the earth. Scottish poet Robert Burns also expressed such angst with these timeless words:
    Many and sharp the num'rous ills
    Inwoven with our frame!
    More pointed still we make ourselves
    Regret, remorse, and shame!
    And man, whose heav'n-erected face
    The smiles of love adorn, -
    Man's inhumanity to man
    Makes countless thousands mourn!
