Bruch Violin Concerto #1 mvt.1 - Itzhak Perlman

[@bb2fiddler]

He hits those chords like they're nothing... Every phrase breathes... The orchestra is flawless... Outstanding performance!

[@MrHappyPanda10]

Its incredible how much talent this man has. Every single one of his performances are just so breathtaking

[@4RINGSS5]

So much emotion..nobody can match a performance of the bruch violin concerto of this caliber.

[@davidb5127]

even though his fingers are so chubby and he seems as if he can snap his violin with his chin, he STILL have PERFECT intonation and everything... best of the best! I never get sick of playing this song!

[@bobbie001]

This is just amazing. Still amazes me how so much emotion can be put into such a small instrument..

[@Partnerfrance]

Perfect - just perfect. No other word for it. Perlman takes you exactly where Bruch wanted you to go and is admirably backed by the orchestra. Even the recording engineering is flawless.

[@Cubasenet33]

Simply the best

[@elainerickard8763]

This rendition just uplifts me yet again. Wonderful

[@sonjaesung123]

MAN I was expecting the techniques itzhak perlman uses to find the notes for the octaves, but he already knows where his hands have to go..

[@peterlhawks]

The assistant concert master(2and Chair, First Violin) was the Concertmaster of the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japn. As of now, she resigned her position back in Fall 2019, due to being diagnosed with ALS prior to one of her concert performances back in Spring 2019. Her name is Mayumi Ohira and has served 20+ years on that position, I think. To me, she was literally my favorite concert masters of all time from Japan. Let her passion of music & violin flow through her as she continues to live out her life, as of now.

OH ITZHAK PERLMAN !! Como pagarte la felicidad y emoción que transmite tu maravilloso Don, ese que llena hasta las mas profundas zonas de nuestras Almas, un gracias es poco. Doy gracias a Dios por haberte traído a este mundo. Dios te bendiga siempre maravilloso e inmenso Ser Humano y Artista.

[@karinekengren4507]

I saw him here in Vancouver a few years ago. A truly great violinist playing one of the greatest violin concertos ever. One of the best concerts I ever went to. AND I love watching Akiyama. He was conductor of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for many years.

[@vangel1443]

This concert is temendous. It must be in the all-time top 5 list for violin concerto. And Perlman... what a fantastic execution! (No words)

[@Nodame2006]

Simply marvelous! Listening to it bring me great joy. Thank you for posting! ビデオありがとうございました！あけましておめでとうございます！

[@ChristianPajusi]

It is amazing to see the accuracy of Perlman's fingers even though they are so large, one could presume he would be a cello or bass player. Fantastic performance, Joshua Bell can not yet be compared to a great such as Perlman.

[@Ithzascheifetz]

Perlman is such a brilliant violonist, a brilliant man. He is one of my favourite violonist, and he looks so simple, just kind, just modest... He is a great man. I admire him soooooo much...

[@TheTMAMA]

This performance put chills on my spine!!! Yay Itzhak!!! and to the great orchestra as well. Of course, what a magnificent piece by Bruch.

[@einherzundeineseele]

Perlman ist ein Wunder! Ich habe noch nie Bruch`s Violin-Konzert jemals von einem Musiker wie Perlman gehört. Er stellt alles in den Schatten, und bereitet uns ein Erlebnis besonderer Atr mit seiner hohen Kunst der Musikalität. Schaut in sein Gesicht, wie er jede Nuance eines Tones fühlt. Einfach grandios! Bravo Perman !

[@jjyooo11]

Perlman's playing truly captivates me. The epitome of a truly talented violinist.

[@jacobjacob1949]

Perlman god bless you .love you

[@johnhurkett]

Outstanding performance from one of the Worlds "Greats"

[@davidjensenplaysviola]

Perlman is absolutely stunning. Favorite violinist of all time.

[@DarthPreamp]

What an awesome soul Mr. Perlman has. Incredible.

[@roonil89]

My favorite concerto!!! So full of life, I can't get enough of it....

[@너보고싶은]

Speechless👍🏻👍🏻I respect Itzhak Perlman👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@robmcg567]

Thankyou Itzak and also orchestra, I am 35 years paralysed T5 and know a bit about how hard that would have been, and the musicianship is brilliant beyond words.

[@andacomfeeuvou]

Esse concerto sempre me faz chorar mas nunca tinha visto uma gravação com tão boa qualidade de áudio e vídeo no youtube. Sobre a interpretação de Perlman, é, na minha opinião, a melhor que ouvi.

[@fastfreddytyke40]

Perlman is without a shadow of a doubt a maestro. He is one of the worlds greatest soloists. His interpretation, expression and execution are superb, however there are other soloists worthy of Bruchs masterpiece. Maxim Vengerov in my humble opinion ranks alongside Perlman and Chloe Hanslip young as she is is not too far behind.

[@yohannesephrem9096]

+fastfreddytyke40 Shlomo Mintz is by far the most adept in Bruch. He played with right tempo and finesse. Search it on you tube please.

[@huanglinli]

[@TheDollarCasual]

Thanks for the upload! This is always one of my go-to pieces for introducing friends to classical music. If the opening of this movement doesn't affect you... you're not human.

[@aaronmcintyre8239]

Beautiful interpretation

[@אבגדהוזחטי-ע6ס]

Perlman has an extraordinary good soul !!

[@empoleon9999]

I saw this performed by him live at the Concert to End Polio. The whole time, I was in disbelief that that man was actually sitting there on the stage, playing such incredible music. I thought I was dreaming.

[@muzz100]

This is a very nice video: great picture and superb sound quality. For me, this is indeed a great performance. There`s no pretension, over-indulgence or ego; he just plays the piece beautifully. Lovely facial expressions and such a wonderful, honest, expressive sound.

[@albanvic]

The best in the world, nobody near him today......

[@Buddyluv484]

I cannot listen to this piece without thinking of Tyler Clementi. He performed this at his final high school concert, and at its conclusion, there was not a dry eye in the audience. I'm so honored I was able to play it with him. He was such a beautiful person and his loss is a tragedy.

[@ponpon1319]

Et voilà la meilleure interprétation de Bruch... Perlman a une sensibilité incomparable, l'enregistrement n'est pas excellent mais cela date....Merci

[@benpant]

Incredible performance

[@JPizzle1490]

What a great video! Perlman has been growing on me lately. I'm sure this video will starting picking up steam soon.

[@evitah6113]

The gretiest for ever

[@lilianamorselli1547]

sublime !grazie infinite

[@nathanberge1218]

Wonderfull

[@Izzilla09]

Amazing...

[@GeniusHaydn]

The Dvorak, Mendelssohn, and Bruch VC's seem to be the best of the romantic period. If I had to choose one of them, it would be this one. The feeling and emotion of this piece is spectactular and Perlman playing shines like no other. There are only a few violinists in the world that rival him. God Bless Bruch and Perlman........Truly Amazing........

[@Violinista2008]

wonderful! great! beautiful!

[@llyranor]

6:10 is great, and 6:41 as it picks up is fantastic.

[@Classikev]

A superb violinist who I believe rivaled even Heifetz and Perlman, Franciscotti, Ricci etc.etc. for her performance of this Bruch Concerto is the (sadly) little remembered great Joan Field (now deceased) who recorded what I believe is the most sublime version of this concerto ever. Masterfully played with technical perfection combined with emotional phrasing that matches the composition and pure soul within every note. 1958 with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, Albert Rudolph cond. Only on vinyl.

[@Goateed]

OMG - 7:48-8:06 - AMAZING. And that harmonic at 8:00. He makes it seem effortless. Wow wow wow.

[@Jprolee]

amazing

[@Kkkkjjj786]

He is a genius.....

[@slee331]

This is excellent. I thought Sarah Chang was untouchable with Bruch, but wow, pearlman is amazing, his phrasing...tone, etc.

[@Jamesdc09]

long live perlman!

[@alexisebarton]

I get to see him play Mendelssohn's violin concerto in March with the Chicago Symphony. It's a stop polio concert. Front row tickets :D

[@최영자-z1y]

all was is will be ..my favorits .

[@UTubeSL]

@vincentpaniccia Hi Vincent, he was crippled after he contracted polio aged 3. I'm with you on the playing - he's remarkable!

[@FeliciaMirage]

Wow...I'm learning this one...and he has it all memorized! D: lawl, that part I'm not looking forwards to, but it is a beautiful piece, and Itzhak Perlman play it so exceptionally! Well done, Perlman.

[@MrChroissant]

mind

[@오현주-b6i]

Very good

[@fiercedragoon1982]

Very lovely sound. Especially nice sounding around 6:30 and 6:50.

[@FeliciaMirage]

@imareallyikeygirl Yeah, I'm 3 years younger than you, and I'M learning to play it, and you just took the words right out of my mouth! It's hard to make it seem effortless, especially the down bow cords. I love Itzhak! :D And I do understand how hard it is! But I still love the piece, it's beautiful! :D

[@alvarito45]

The correct order is: Beethoven, Bruch (this one, he has two more) , Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Mendelsohnn, Dvorak, Saint-Saëns, Then a long long list. In piano concertos: first Brahms no.2, then Beethoven 5th op. 73, beethoven 4th,Tchaikovsky 1st, Brahms no.1, Mozart 20th...then a long list....

[@mafajardo]

Bruchs G minor is top 5 and Perlmans permorfance is so WOW!

[@violinist1969]

HISTORICAL

[@Fearun9033]

6:30. I got goose bumps! Amazing piece!

[@igalflint]

@vincentpaniccia you forgot Heifetz,Menuhim, Stern,Zukerman

[@khj66690004]

이사람이 연주하면 뭐든지 포근하고 따뜻해져...

[@alvarito45]

You're absolutely right! But I think those ones are in the mention "Long List". This is a very personal opinion of mine and to other diletantti may be is not the correct order. Thank you for commenting.

[@Amarynthine]

perlman is a musical genius, who happens to play the violin

[@Juscch]

wow

[@brianfan1]

me too..... best interpretations for Chung.

[@bazoom-o3k]

As much as i love him, and God knows how much I do, i'll always go for Jascha Heifetz on this one :)

[@rubadebora]

Perlman seems to be playing with his violin!! Its as if he were looking at us and laughing: "ha ha ha!! U'll never play like me!!" hahaha AMAZING!!

[@untxen]

It is nice to hear an out of tune note played by one of those gods (here from 4:31 to 4:32) because even if it's not tuned I don't care that much, it sounds good. By the way, I couldn't find any out of tune note on the Heifetz version (and I've tried) :)

[@dannyboy2267]

At the end of the day, no matter how good someone is, we're all human.

[@Classikev]

Although of course recording technology especially for dynamics and clarity is much better now than it has ever been, for me it is the emotion in the playing that I care mostly about and some of those older players such as Joan Field just have no real comparison when it comes to true soul touching within some of the great compositions.

[@GeniusHaydn]

The Long List in the Romantic period is longggg. So many good VCs. Speaking of PCs Long List, Chopin and Rachmaninov's PCs are definitely really good.

[@alvarito45]

Agree. Rachmaninov's No. 2, op 18 is one of my favorites. I have an old version of this one with Vladimir Ashkenazy and LSO, Previn. It's quite great. Perhaps I should have enlisted it before Mozart' 20th. Chopin is also good, but I like more Beethoven's 3rd or even 1st than Chopin's concertos.

[@허만희-g9n]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@HoEthanKing]

good

[@xAXTTXAx]

the less fingers you have down, the more potential pivotal motion you can have, right? I mean, with first or second finger down, it's more sturdy and all, but maybe it's just his style? just speculation xD

[@romain190294]

Look at him: the best violin player of all time has mechanic's hands!!!

[@ceruleanmist111]

*sigh* Heaven...

[@danangstadt1976]

He is an amazing violinist, that goes without saying. What I really want to know is how he keeps his bowtie straight while playing.

[@Vermanater1]

2:59 I wept

[@GeniusHaydn]

I am aware of Franciscotti, Ricci, and Field, but the problem with all of these older violinists is the recordings. It's not the playing, that's great, it's the quality of the recording; not in stereo, background noise, etc. I have Accardo's version of this concerto, on Philips, his playing is sublime and the recording is also.

[@igalflint]

@fiercedragoon1982 and a jewish virtuoso in the violin as always, the best !

[@dannyboy2267]

2:16 is when it gets good

[@Skylnk1]

at 4:32 he probably forgot his accidental, even so, everyone has done that before in their lives, don't make such a big deal about it. Also, many of his intonation issues are minor to the point of nonexistant, your fishing for mistakes. This interpretation is resounding, i enjoy especially the beginning two ad libs. by Perlman. They are unique in that they are quieter than actually marked, but just as intense (if not more). Bravo Perlman Bravo!

[@lisacipriani6105]

I wish

[@Candyberry2006]

After Heifetz I think its really really be him!

[@prototype181]

Joshua Bell has 6 accounts on youtube.

[@Pvviolinist]

makes it looks so damn easy -.-

[@Pvviolinist]

and he's enjoying himself as well!!! god damn!!!

[@cowlikesbeef]

@Amarynthine phrasing makes all the difference

[@Classikev]

"about 10 years old" ?? This recording is now 22 years old. (1991)

[@punchaloo]

@sake121 did you play the bruch yet?

[@GeniusHaydn]

Hey, old man you left out Paganini's VCs, Joachim's VC#2, Wieniawski's VC#2, and Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen"'. Technically, these are some the most difficult and some of the best. Your list is good, but Bruch's and Mendelssohn's are the most romantic!

[@Imbetterthanmost]

@larryrael we do the same thing?

[@igalflint]

@vincentpaniccia he had Polio in childhood

[@sunyuloveu]

@manifold0606 R U sure? Wasn't it true that the conductor gave two full bars upbeat???? Perhaps you meant Beethoven concerto....

[@sworly]

i almost cried from 4:30 to 5:00

[@GeniusHaydn]

@cohataiv-This one of Perlman's is excellent, but Heifetz well-it's a little too fast for me. Check out Salvatore Accardo's on Philips @ Amazon.com, I think it's the Best of the Three.
