An Allegro Film by Christopher Nupen

[@voraciousreader3341]

You know, as much as I love Zukerman’s solo playing, I looooove his ensemble playing better. It really showcases his sensitive articulation and phrasing, especially the soft, delicate articulation at the end of phrases, and at cadences, and his beautiful tone just shines when he matches it with another player or other players, whether he’s playing violin or viola. This combination is so brilliant, and Perlman’s joy in playing never ceases to draw me right in! There are a few instrumentalists whose gorgeous sound and manner of playing I can recognize blind, and Perlman is one....doesn’t matter what I’m doing, what piece it is-even songs from the klezmer album on the radio before I even _KNEW_ there was a klezmer album, which was bizarre-or where I am, I _always_ know it’s he playing. Such a phenomenal combo!!

[@ViolinistGioraSchmidt]

When those two meld their individualities together you get the ideal complete violinist to my ears and heart. My God bless Christopher Nupen for capturing these two giants at the absolute center of their ascent for eternity.

[@littlesquareroot2]

I love how they are so funny and adorable at the same time! Great sense of humor.

[@Vegathlete]

Their light-hearted symbiosis never fails to produce the most energized and brilliantly sublime music.

[@matttondr9282]

They’re both so deceptively casual. They play as if it’s just a regular day as any other, completely obscuring the massive amount of effort and energy that they pour into their craft. Marvelous..

[@prestigeworldwideproductions]

Beaucoup d'émotions qui me remémorent ma fin des seventies , avec ces vinyles d'EMI honorant ces deux musiciens alors qu'un de mes propres frères se mettait à l'alto , après le violon , s'épanouissant grâce à un don que je découvrait admiratif. Oui nous les mélomanes de bientôt 70 ans nous avons eu nos années heureuses , à l'écoute de tant de grands artistes qui nous ont tant enrichis de leurs interprétations passionnées. Merci pour cette archive partagée.

It is more than obvious to who is truly more versatile. Unfairly promoted. Though they both are equally great. One Is not better than the other. Style and sound is a matter of preference! Beautifully synchronized! Master of both violin and viola speaks for itself. Lawn ornament, or a statue of God.

Look who it is in the audience at 45:34! Jacqueline Du Pre!

[@albanvic]

She and Daniel Barenboim had been lovers for years. After she changed her religion (NO easy task) they married at the Western Wall in Jerusalem which very very few people get permission for especially for a convert like Jackie du Pre´. They were a small coterie of mates the stories of their activities are endless.

Perlman playing the “Eighth of January!!!!”

[@pgm3]

Maestro Perlman has impeccable virtuosity but the subtleties of folk idioms challenge him as much as anyone else. He has often for instance played Klezmer but is not yet (yet) considered an historically great Klezmer artist, which is fine. Give him time...He has great fun showing his love and respect for all sorts of folk fiddling, and is beloved by folk musicians for this. He has a reputation as a truly fine gent and a great artist. I play Gaelic/English/Americana and would play with him in a heartbeat. Asked by (as i recall) a Klezmerim how he he achieved such precision of intonation he answered "I make as many mistakes as you do, I just fix 'em faster!". This has become my mantra as I , a fluter, (try to) learn a bit of folk fiddlin' myself.

[@analogjackiwamoto6138]

Around 39 seconds into the film the narrator talks about Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern playing together in Edinburgh. Does any footage or recordings of their playing exist?
