A Gala concert to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the IPO features many world-famous soloists. From veteran violinist Issac Stern to the younger talents of Maxim Vengerov and Gil Shaham, ".... anybody who comes to play here does not come because it is a job. They feel friendship, they feel something of the heart." (Itzhak Perlman)

[@NicolaSfredda]

Isaac Stern was born in 1920 (died in 2001), while Gil Shaham was born in 1971. The recording is from 1997. A nice meeting between generations

For real? His intonation if off with a lot of microtones. Also, the double stops in the 3rd movement are beyond pathetic. This is the worst performance of Bach's double violin concerto I've ever heard!

Listening to this again August 2021, in all this disaster we’ve all been going through worldwide this is incredibly uplifting and brings joy and peace.

[@santjoa7630]

I have read a biography of Isaac Stern's life. My father was a pharmacist in Haarlem ( the Netherlands ), but he had also played a Violin Concerto of J.S. Bach with orchestra ( in E-Major ). That is why I love listening to J.S. Bach. From my father I have learnt to appreciate the Music of J.S. Bach the instant I heard the Violin Concertos on a long-play record when I was 13.

[@alisonsmartfisher1488]

Delicious in every way- poised and a lovely silvery tone from both players (wonderfully matched). The maestro Isaac Stern is truly great.

[@davidseraphim7402]

4:35 A clear demonstration from Mr. Stern of the tricks he's learned over time. Notice he folds the corners of the pages so he can turn the them easier mid-piece. When you have so much experience you learn these little things, and I'd also be willing to bet he learned this trick hard way!

De la generación de violinistas “de antes”... entre Heifetz, Milstein, Elman, Menuhim, etc. solo Stern me gustaba, no era aburrido, ni frío y el sonido era perfecto (quizás solo Oistrak lo superaba). En este video ya no estaba en su mejor momento, pero siempre es un gusto escucharlo.

[@jungwirthmartin]

The peak performance of this concerto is by Menuhin and Oistragh when they were in great shape. I think that Isaac was already not in the top shape in this performance.

[@ramigoren]

The 1958 performance of Menuhin and Oistrakh u mention is indeed G-dly. I've heard many performances of this concerto. Most are inconsequential. Some are technically perfect but are rushed and lack soul. This Stern Shacham performance shows the technical challenges of aging Stern was facing, but musically it is still lovely. Phrasing, tempo, dynamics and balance between the performers were all lovely. It has soul.

This is so-called demonstration of power in the music business., 90%. Music 1%. Bad intonation 9%. Good behavior 0%. Those who thing this is good or beautiful do it from lack of music education in general.

I saw him in person in Yale campus in New Haven, Connecticut many moons ago. He had dark hairs. There were a line to buy tickets. I had to pay $12 to buy a ticket from a Yellow Cow. Audiences including Yale doctor who I knew. We sat on the ba loony. I really enjoyed his violin. Later, I saw Ma Yo Yo too. In Chinese, yellow cow means a person went to ticket window to but a ticket resell to you. One time I went to a movie in Taiwan. I did the same thing. I gots into big trouble for the person intended to sit on my chair thought I was stealing. Good thing was that I happened to wear my uniform which represented the best girls, high school in island. So the person let me go. Try not do what I did. Tickets will be more expensive!
