How is he hilarious? I don't get it

[@karlwinkler66]

@@jp101galo the interview with him starting at 51:46 - he certainly displays a sense of humor.

Jessye makes strange glissando, and some out of pitch attacks, but...the timbre and her aura are still there.

[@leonardograssi1525]

il suono del maestro zuckerman,cosi' espressivo, con quel vibrato cosi' intenso, la cavata del suo arco cosi' aderente alle corde,nessun'altro violinisti ha attualmente la stessa espressività' del maestro, in passato il maestro ferras si avvicinava al maestro zuckrman.

[@Arnold3135]

A beautiful performance, thanks for posting. Only one glaring error -- Opus 34 is written in F minor and should be listed as such.

I play classical music but I have no respect for such a disgraceful musician. Zukerman must stop making culturally insensitive and ignorant remarks to young musicians who are Asian or Asian descendants.

[@scooterk23]

Shut up, dude.

[@DankChallenger]

Obv not a classical musician with any brain cells, learn from the great master, hope and pray you could even get close to 10,000th of him

[@RK-do8ug]

@@DankChallenger I may not be as gifted as he is as a musician but I respect people, their racial and cultural heritage, passion for life, and love for music no matter where they are from. Your so-called master failed and that's the end of it. Carnegie Hall canceled your master's 2022 winter concert series because they do NOT support your so-called music master who squashed young and gifted musicians' passion for music just because they have an Asian heritage (half Asian, half Caucasian, born in the US so Americans). Since when classical music is only for privileged white people?! Isn't music for everyone who appreciates it no matter where you are from?

[@DankChallenger]

@R K he squashed them? Have you ever heard of teaching? you know, when you try to help the student understand the concepts or ideas? Whatever happened to when people could speak their mind and genuinely try to help people? Guess you can’t do that anymore cuz now everything offends someone or their feelings get hurt. Such a shame that now the media follows what these sad peoples opinions because they fear themselves they will get attacked next. “A disgraceful musician” Is music a single language? Has he ever “quelled” their passion? What are you even trying to convey here?

[@DankChallenger]

@@RK-do8ug you are just completely full of it, hear this music and tell me it’s disgraceful.
