When Spielberg showed to John Williams an unedited copy of the movie, the composer was left speechless. He declared himself unable to write the score, and said to Spielberg "you need a better composer than I am for this...". Spielberg just replied, "I know, but they're all dead!".
@@okolekahuna3862 Agreed. The music that came out of John William's pen really makes you wonder whether a human wrote it. And then they also picked an equally out-of-this-world man to play the music. There is no one who would play this better than Itzhak Perlman.
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.
Never noticed that but you might be onto something. The first woman we see is not just waiting for it to finish, she is literally covering her mouth, that moved. It's just true, this tune doesn't sound the same when others play it. Beyond beautiful.
@@user-vn7sj5ig8w Not a fine musician. THE FINEST!! No one plays like him. It's his soul and and his being are playing . There isn't one like him. He plays to the 6 millions and to us who survived and he moves our souls and our being down to the deepest core and soul. He does not play an instrument he plays his soul to our souls.
Perlman is one of the only ones who can play this well. He doesn't just play the notes, he really gets the whole feeling and sadness. It is almost like the violin is crying. It is so beautiful and his timing and everything is just perfect.
I heard he plays it at every single one of his concerts. He’s a Jew, too, so this song probably means something very personal to him, hence his heartfelt interpretation of it
I agree , I am an ex ballerina , forever a dancer and I am choreographing edited , I am injured too , say half the piece , my long bendy arms with small but beautiful In line steps piece for a Jewish woman , my rock through my injury , lockdowns and a quiet achiever . She is an outstanding in all ways teacher. Her daughter said ✔️she loves this ! I will honour all Jews with my emotive arms and my father who was the most unbiased human , loving all , he would be happy
You and me both, Martin. I've listened to a few renditions of this but Itzhak's performances are extraordinary! I mean he makes that violin almost sing! Beautiful.
It just blows my mind to know that the same person composed this epic piece of music and the Imperial march from Star Wars. Both are marked with genius being entirely different.
I am not Jewish but I'm not ashamed to cry when I hear this recording. If it doesn't touch your heart then you don't have one. As an aside I think history will record Perlman as the greatest violinist of our time.
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.
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.
completely agree. so moving. horrific but beautiful because of Schindlers desperately passionate attempt to rescue just a handful of people. humanity at it's finest. this music does that emotion so much justice. magnificent x
John Rabe is another good movie about a nazi trying to save thousands of Chinese from the hands of the Japanese during WW2. Otherwise, Schindler's is tied with Saving Private Ryan. The latter showing how flawed everyone was during the war, even the good guys.
+Draco Malfare i guess that's forgivable seeing how beautifully he played the piece and how difficult it is to make that note sound good without a break when changing bows.
There are many versions of this song, some people play it as hope, but god, the sadness and loneliness that came of this particular performance brought me to tears
This is the best rendition of this piece I have ever heard. One can really feel the struggle and the sense of hopelessness growing as the music progresses.
Pal ! you are absolutely right.... this song's appeal is too pathetic . I have tried this on Harmonica .During practise... it took me a lot of strength to check the tears. ekta osadharan composition ...
Whether just listening or while watching the movie, this John Williams’ theme never fails to touch me way down deep, calling forth tears, producing a lump in my throat, and raising goose flesh on my arms. The collaboration between two of the great geniuses - Maestro Williams and Itzhak Perlman was manufactured in heaven and will reside there for all of time.
Spielberg should write and direct a film based on a strictly Biblical account of the Book of Esther. We might get sublime piece of music to accompany it. "We are all Japhethites living in the tents of Shem." Franz Delitzsch - 1813-1890
There's that moment where John Williams recognizes that this performance by Itzhak Pearlman is something special and hushes the entire orchestra to let him shine that much brighter. One of the finest pieces of music ever written by man.
Josh Silver, I’ve also thought that. Those high notes sound like tears and pain and it has me sobbing like a baby when I hear this piece of music. I never thought a violin could have such emotion and pain. Truly amazing.
There is an old workshop series the Royal Shakespeare Company did and in it Sir Ian McKellen says he saw someone perform a piano concerto (Beethoven maybe or someone) and he said something along the lines of: "I don't know if he was putting music in the piano or taking it out" Very similar to this. He is one with the instrument
I read in an article that violins were invented to have an instrument that could mimic the human voice. If someone doesn't understand what that means and sounds like, it's easy with this masterpiece.
The first time I heard this was on Public Radio. I missed the announcer's introduction, but caught the first notes of the music and knew it was Itzak Perlman playing.
What a haunting piece of poetry, it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, I be come obsessed with it and play it incessantly, What talent, I love it, Thank you both John Williams and Itzhak Perlman. Thank you so much for your talent.
+周 むてん（Lel On'Yomi Readings） In modern French, monsieur is used as a courtesy title of respect, an equivalent of English "mister" or "sir". Messieurs is the plural form of monsieur.
Yes! Every single note is played on the strings of that man's soul, and the souls of his people, both living and dead! I'm 71 years old now and I don't have the words to do this music justice! God Bless Israel!
Magnificent rendition. If you notice, the audience was so stunned by the performance that it took several seconds for anyone to be able to applaud. Mankind at it's best in answer to mankind at it's worst. Gives one hope!
There are many fiddlers out there today who can play Paganini flawlessly but only Perlman can this simply but breathtaking melody so beautifully and touching. At this point he blow away anyone else!
The violin cries for all of those who perished during this horrendous period of our world. So difficult to listen to without becoming emotional. Magnificent.
How can anyone regardless of faith or taste in music not listen to the purity and perfection of this piece of music and not be profoundly moved? It's one of my personal favourites.
The same reason my mother (who prefers Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, etc) tolerates country music because that’s what my sister likes; tolerates heavy metal because that’s what my brother likes; Tolerates Sir Paul McCartney and The Beatles because that’s what I like.
Composer John Williams is a genius....and words cannot express the contribution he has made to American music (global audiences) and the movies. ((And, he remains so very humble....a true artist.))
The legendary John Williams and the great Itzhak Perlman combining forces for an OScar Award-winning movie. Sublime beauty and magnificent art put into music. So touching.
Thank you, Mr. Perlman and Mr. Williams. I will never forget the first time I saw this important film. The music is so hauntingly beautiful, and I am so glad Yulia and her coaches have brought it back to the forefront again. We must Never forget~!
Remember these people were Lawyers, Doctors, WW1 veterans, Tailors, Barbers, Musicians, Teachers, Clerks, Businessmen, Shoekeeper, Jewelry owner, Fathers, Mothers, Daughters, Sons, Babies, just decent people they were all just normal people, It was a terrible fate.
I was at this concert, which was filmed for Evening at Pops. The hush at the end of the piece was completely accurate--the audience was reacting to a superb piece of art...
Heart-wrenching.One of the finest performance ever by one of the finest man of unparalleled genius.This song will survive the test-of-time and will reveal and remind to the future generations the saddest and most-unfortunate times of human history.
Justin Phillips - your comments are uncalled for... Truly your words "failed" the test of time. This is truly A beautiful rendition of a soul-ful piece wonderfully played by a maestro.
im watchin this again this year..and I still cry when they put the camera on the woman who is in true awe of his powerful performance. Gotta love the last part on the e string and the last note....he plays like he puts you through a time capsule..such an incredible artist....
+Joe Smith John is a talented man but saying God gave his power is a little demeaning, dont you think? John worked very hard for hist talent, no God was needed
+ZOE L.M.F Ugh. The dissipation of all hard work done by humans as the fault of a pretend supernatural being. This is disrespectful on so many levels. God doesn't give us talent. We give us talent, and we work for that talent.
Я русский, меня эта музыка тронул до глубины души. Когда смотрел фильм "Список Шиндлера" рыдал в прямом смысле этого слова. Самое большее чего хочу то чтобы в мире никогда не было войны и ужаса который она принесла. И чтобы будущие поколения это не испытали и не видели . Но это не значит что можно забыть о прошлой трагедии ,думаю надо об этом рассказывать чтобы сделать максимально чтобы предотвратить подобное.
I can't think of any living violinist who could have done this score justice as beautifully as Perlman did... cannot help but cry at the remarkable beauty of this solemn and horridly melancholic piece...
He always makes me cry when he plays this piece His yiddiskite flows from his heart to his violin. No one plays this piece like him. He is truly blessed with a great gift, and we are blessed to be able to hear him.
Itzhak Perlman - лучший! Много музыкантов исполняли это величайшее по пронзительности произведение. Но исполнение этого музыканта невозможно спутать ни с кем. Его скрипка гениальна. Она поёт, говорит, плачет... На все времена. Браво!
this man, leads me to understand what is the definition of a music. a sound that is not only gives color to our faded world. giving hope to our dying dreams. and strengthens our faith and belief to what we believe in. agree?
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!
@Edna Turner I do not disagree with you ma'am. I know much more about the Jewish holocaust than you realize. I was merely adding that other people groups have been oppressed and nearly annihilated as well. American natives for example. This music weeps for them all.
John Williams, Itzhak Perlman - Schindler's List This wonderful music is a touch of deep emotion and tears, composed by a genius, John Williams, and performed from the recesses of the soul of a great artist. A great musician: a virtuoso of the violin: Itshak Perlman. Thanks, Mr. KlezmorimI for this beautiful video.
I felt this tremendous piece even deep in my bones. Perlman plays with such passion that I had goose bumps throughout his performance. Now this is music that you can see, hear, smell. and touch with the heart!
At a John Wiliams tribute at the Sydney Opera house in 2007 this was played by a young female violinist and the reaction was the same, like a spell had been cast over the audience. There was that heart breaking ending and that long final note. There was silence for easily 5 or 6 seconds, a collective exhale of breath, one or two claps and then thunderous applause and a standing ovation.
I went to the movies to see Schindler's list back in the day, it was heart wrenching, I could never see that movie again as it brings me profound sadness. How can humans behave like that to one another.
@@lisakayruetz7354 pretty off topic but not really listen to dance with the devil by immortal technique and really listen to the lyrics.... when i first heard that song i was terrified literally terrified to ever hit replay on the video... similar feeling
John William's and Perlman's hands must have touched by G-d to have composed and played such a hauntingly beautiful composition. Kudos to both and thanks for uploading.
Una maravillosa expresion musical para representar los sentimientos de un pueblo perseguido hasta casi su exterminio. Creo que Perlman y Williams dieron vida a un tema que perdurará en los tiempos.
Schindler's List is the only movie that has ever induced a nightmare from which I woke up sobbing. The John Williams score increased the emotional impact of the movie's haunting scenes tenfold.
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.
Hes the original one who played this.
Oh.. yes.. very well said
He makes his violin speak
When Spielberg showed to John Williams an unedited copy of the movie, the composer was left speechless. He declared himself unable to write the score, and said to Spielberg "you need a better composer than I am for this...". Spielberg just replied, "I know, but they're all dead!".
Then John took a walk around the block to take in what he just watched. It was then when he knew what he had to do.

Perhaps, but i'd like to hear Steve Vai give it a go.
The violin here doesn't play a tune, it cries in memory of those that died

Margot HH and I have tried to play this, but I just can't get the sorrow and the power of this beautiful and thought provoking song.
Margot HH I've listened to this song many times and only when Perlman plays it does it evoke the horrible sorrow and makes me hate humanity.
I heard he plays it at every single one of his concerts.
He’s a Jew, too, so this song probably means something very personal to him, hence his heartfelt interpretation of it
Well it's important to him, he's one of the people Oscar Schlindler saved

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
Punto
you just haven't listened to much.
@@simoncarrier9910 Really?
This piece of music is sacred. The reality it touches is so horrendous, so awful, so unspeakable. Only this music can begin to express the sadness.
@@simoncarrier9910 Simon you are correct. LOL!
The weeping violin. John Williams and Itzhak get it perfectly. Such a treasure.
John Williams is one of the greatest composers of our time and Itzak Perlman is truly magnificent. Never fails to make me cry.
He is hear😮ng to what God is saying!
John Williams is a genius. It's an honor to live in his time.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written in my opinion. It tears me apart each time I hear it!
So so true

So true; it’s deeply coming from the soul.
In the same category as Mozart
You and me both, Martin. I've listened to a few renditions of this but Itzhak's performances are extraordinary! I mean he makes that violin almost sing! Beautiful.
It just blows my mind to know that the same person composed this epic piece of music and the Imperial march from Star Wars. Both are marked with genius being entirely different.
John Williams composed literlaly everything. he also did Indiana jones and the Jurassic park theme.
And Harry Potter !
And E.T. !
And Jaws...one of the great movie composers. Actually, scrub the word “movie” from that.
John Williams n hans zimmer, these 2 are Beethoven of our lifetime
The sadest music ever composed by John Williams, played brilliantly by Itzhak Perlman.
i see beauty where you see sadness, im listening to same piece
I cry.with this brilliant music. My family escaped from Poland. When the music ends I smile.
When I first heard this music, I cried as well.
I am not Jewish but I'm not ashamed to cry when I hear this recording. If it doesn't touch your heart then you don't have one. As an aside I think history will record Perlman as the greatest violinist of our time.
Perlman and Yo-yo Ma are truly two of the greatest musicians of all time.
The power of music to touch the heart and the soul fully realized in this piece, masterfully performed by Maestro Perlman.
This violin cries for the earth entirely.
3:38 That high note always breaks my heart, so much emotion in just one note, amazing talent and beautiful master piece.
So moving! I’m 80 years of age and I have never been so moved by anything like this composition! The movie is my favorite of all movies I’ve seen!❤

Do you know the coolest of hearts? So ignorant to what those of us have to face so you can live so!!
This is far more than 'liking' or 'disliking' violin music. It is far more than just music. Thank you Itzhak for giving this to us.
so many years later, still so magical...

im watchin this again this year..and I still cry when they put the camera on the woman who is in true awe of his powerful performance. Gotta love the last part on the e string and the last note....he plays like he puts you through a time capsule..such an incredible artist....
God has given John Williams a talent, there is no doubt.
+Joe Smith John is a talented man but saying God gave his power is a little demeaning, dont you think? John worked very hard for hist talent, no God was needed
+Clay Deichman God gives us the talent...whether we use it or not is up to us...so yes I agree without the work this could not exist
+ZOE L.M.F I don't believe in god, but sure
+Clay Deichman I think we got that lol
+ZOE L.M.F Ugh. The dissipation of all hard work done by humans as the fault of a pretend supernatural being.
This is disrespectful on so many levels. God doesn't give us talent. We give us talent, and we work for that talent.
The man who created the immortal Star Wars and Indiana Jones scores...created also this breathtaking piece
Steff R. And Harry Potter :D
I think that this was the most powerful rendition by a wonderful musician I have ever heard. Makes you want to weep.
That violin piece dives into the deepest and darkest crevice of despair, loss, and sadness that one can imagine.
Я русский, меня эта музыка тронул до глубины души. Когда смотрел фильм "Список Шиндлера" рыдал в прямом смысле этого слова. Самое большее чего хочу то чтобы в мире никогда не было войны и ужаса который она принесла. И чтобы будущие поколения это не испытали и не видели . Но это не значит что можно забыть о прошлой трагедии ,думаю надо об этом рассказывать чтобы сделать максимально чтобы предотвратить подобное.
I can't think of any living violinist who could have done this score justice as beautifully as Perlman did... cannot help but cry at the remarkable beauty of this solemn and horridly melancholic piece...
Schindler "un juste" un homme hors du commun , un héros, des gens comme il n en existe plus de nos jours !MERCI
Vous n'avez pas connu ma maman.
Qu'elle repose en paix avec Schindler auprès du Seigneur. 😥🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
The violin weeps, and I with it.
He always makes me cry when he plays this piece His yiddiskite flows from his heart to his violin. No one plays this piece like him. He is truly blessed with a great gift, and we are blessed to be able to hear him.
When that mustache came out. I was like, WHAO!
Peter Tran To be honest, I sometimes just come here to see the mustache... :>
Why are we talking about the mustache? This is supposed to be about the song!
Sero El Mero hahahahaha so funny!
Lol....thats funny
+Sero El Mero then you suck.
Itzhak Perlman is God Almigty's gift to mankind. As a musician, he can not be compared.
What are you talking about? Kitaro, Hans Zimmer, Yanni, much better than him and won a lot awards rather than Perlman
He can. Try Nemanja Radulovich. He is what a miracle is.
Shaeew Bunga I see your point but feel it would be strange and funny for Perlman to get a Grammy though... :)
Without a doubt, this is John Williams finest composition.
Itzhak Perlman - лучший! Много музыкантов исполняли это величайшее по пронзительности произведение. Но исполнение этого музыканта невозможно спутать ни с кем. Его скрипка гениальна. Она поёт, говорит, плачет... На все времена. Браво!
this man, leads me to understand what is the definition of a music. a sound that is not only gives color to our faded world. giving hope to our dying dreams. and strengthens our faith and belief to what we believe in. agree?
Try also Nemanja Radulovich. Colossal talent and work he has done. Also, he has a charming smile... and I really love his hair.
chris lens :)
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!
Cindy Bear well said
@Edna Turner I do not disagree with you ma'am. I know much more about the Jewish holocaust than you realize. I was merely adding that other people groups have been oppressed and nearly annihilated as well. American natives for example. This music weeps for them all.
@@cindybear It does indeed Cindy, for each and every soul.
@@katy4779 thank you for understanding what I meant.
John Williams, Itzhak Perlman - Schindler's List
This wonderful music is a touch of deep emotion and tears, composed by a genius, John Williams, and performed from the recesses of the soul of a great artist. A great musician: a virtuoso of the violin: Itshak Perlman.
Thanks, Mr. KlezmorimI for this beautiful video.
listen at 3:50 how clean, smooth, tender and sweet he plays that last note. skillz. skillz. he DESERVES a standing O.
Two geniuses at the top of their games. If you are not moved by this music, you have no soul.
I felt this tremendous piece even deep in my bones. Perlman plays with such passion that I had goose bumps throughout his performance. Now this is music that you can see, hear, smell. and touch with the heart!
At a John Wiliams tribute at the Sydney Opera house in 2007 this was played by a young female violinist and the reaction was the same, like a spell had been cast over the audience. There was that heart breaking ending and that long final note. There was silence for easily 5 or 6 seconds, a collective exhale of breath, one or two claps and then thunderous applause and a standing ovation.
A well deserved standing ovation. Superb performance!
I went to the movies to see Schindler's list back in the day, it was heart wrenching, I could never see that movie again as it brings me profound sadness. How can humans behave like that to one another.
I was just thinking how I could never bear to see that movie again. I know exactly what you mean.
@@lisakayruetz7354 pretty off topic but not really listen to dance with the devil by immortal technique and really listen to the lyrics.... when i first heard that song i was terrified literally terrified to ever hit replay on the video... similar feeling
such an emotional song
Przepiękny utwór , zawsze jak go słucham , mam łzy w oczach 😥 .
Pure deep welling emotion, incomparable brillance! A Career defining performance, reflected in the reaction of his wife and the entire audience
John William's and Perlman's hands must have touched by G-d to have composed and played such a hauntingly beautiful composition. Kudos to both and thanks for uploading.
So beautiful and such an inspiration for violinists
Una maravillosa expresion musical para representar los sentimientos de un pueblo perseguido hasta casi su exterminio. Creo que Perlman y Williams dieron vida a un tema que perdurará en los tiempos.
Brings still tears to my eyes
Schindler's List is the only movie that has ever induced a nightmare from which I woke up sobbing. The John Williams score increased the emotional impact of the movie's haunting scenes tenfold.
