Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman: Halvorsen Passacaglia

[@ragnaroz97]

Am I the only one to think that Zukermann is sounding like a beautiful cello? Anyway, excellent performance! They are truly the greatest of greatest!

[@Bratschector]

I think more like a beatiful viola than like a beatufil cello but anyway very good performance

[@EraLily]

Lmfaoooo who is zuckermann?? 😂😂

[@franciscomachado7921]

@@EraLily ur joking right? ahah

[@jurgengiesler754]

Zukerman is a true genius on the viola. It is always touching how he plays the viola

[@ramaisinhoroto]

@@franciscomachado7921 i think she's just picking on the extra "N" written there

[@charmcello]

These guys make a violin and a viola fill up a concert hall as if they were a whole orchestra. What talent!

[@pt192]

Is it just me, or is their synchronization at 6:04 heart stopping.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

Yeah it is truly wonderful... you know they have played for years when that is the level of musicianship. They're telling the Passacaglia "story" together as if *one* narrator :)

[@hyybreadno4]

very bold and loud indeed!

[@JMS1089]

4:08 sounds incredibly pleasant, listening with headphones. Especially the viola.

[@phoeberose3430]

love this so much! My favourite composition of all time and even better with the greatest players in history!

[@김태현-q7l1y]

I am convinced that it is by far the best of perlman's performances.

[@ayasagiv8295]

Also Zuckerman’s in my opinion

[@0DiegoPeralta0]

o melhor dueto da historia dessa peça, concerteza esse mesmo acabou virando história...

[@erikericksen9693]

Goose bumps. I love the smirks coming from the orchestra behind them..the orchestra was really impressed and they know. It was also wonderful to see Itzhak's expressions near the beginning and the end...he is really enjoying himself and is so at ease with this material. Probably Perlman and Zukerman both near the apex of their careers, just wow.

[@myhoneybee]

The perfect harmony we very much long for but is so hard to find in real world.. Beautiful! 💕💕

[@londonFILMharmonic]

That's the Stradivari Tuscan 1690, an absolutely stunning instrument.

[@kalmanimrecello]

A hegedű nem játszik önmagától!

[@opera144]

This one of the best songs in the world i never thougt of such a splended viola i almost cant belive it same with this song

[@307trinity]

This is one of my favorite pieces to listen to, as well as to play, and this particular performance is the best ever! I think I have it on about 5 different VHS tapes, from when it was first aired on TV :-) Truly goes down in history!

[@wildqpid]

Whoever disliked this video can not be thinking clearly...souch a beautiful sound. Emotions transferred in to art so beautifully.

[@lmfviolet78]

at 3:10 and 5:20 it sounds like an entire orchestra. They are the most flawless players ever! When you're that good it looks so effortless, but yet the sound coming out is so passionate and inspiring...

[@xiongfeiwei2988]

i almost cried. so beatiful

[@funkacelloik]

I'm not even sure how it's possible to "dislike" this song. It's truly amazing to watch both of them play it. They make it look SO easy and effortless. And by having played this piece myself before, I know first hand that it is NOT easy!

[@rjmahabir]

no one plays the passacaglia like these two.... just flawless every single time i see them do this... from 1983 all the way to now

[@fionashow007]

Love viola!!!

[@ForArchenland]

It's very entertaining to listen to - Itzhak Perlman and Pinkas Zukerman are great!

[@akroatis]

Fantastic performance. There's a touching pathos in Perlman's playing.

[@pyroticmaniac]

i can't stop listening to this! it's purely divine. oh how i love perlman :)

[@CcCharlesW]

i hope i can get tickets to zukermans concert this saturday!! so lucky that hes in my city conducting!

[@אבגדהוזחטי-ע6ס]

I love them together Magnificent!!

[@shawkobezhu]

A++++++++ played precisely and musically!!!! will watch again!!

[@zacharyewald3446]

Don't worry man, i couldn't play it until my 19th year playing. keep at it, you'll get there. It'll be a wonderful achievement when you do.

[@b.terenceharwick3222]

Incredibly beautiful!

[@aidanbrumsickle]

Great performance. I love the recording of this from the Israeli orchestra 60th anniversary gala concert. This piece is a lot of fun, I'm working on the viola part right now. It's a great way to work on staccato and finger work in general.

[@violinplayingdog]

His Sound is beautiful!!!!!! Magnificent technique!

[@barbaraweselakfranch1387]

Amazing 🌹. Maestro Ithzak Perlman and E Zukerman... Maestro Ithzak Perlman is together my favorite violinist 🎻 ♥️

[@cello0522]

What a wonderful performance! Absolute classic! It's a beutiful world we live in. Thank you!

[@akroatis]

"a style that has the power to evoke feelings". Fancy words are worth looking up!

[@Ivanhoe2]

A privilege to listen to such virtuosity. Many thanks for posting.

[@Christinecedar]

Beautiful

[@tooootooootoototoooo]

Great one I´m just trying to play it with my viola teacher at the moment it´s just great and has such a full, loud and just great viola sound, aaaaaaaaaaahhhh;D Just a great piece, played brilliantly by the two guys Perlman and Zukerman, who are really "playing" with this great piece of music! Very much thanks for uploading this video!!!

[@ForArchenland]

If only we could thumbs up more than once...

[@MJAS57]

One of my favorite songs from all time!!

[@AlexRiversMusic]

Amazing!!!

[@JonahGui]

1:52-2:03 Relaxed, confident, emotionless face, but emotional playing...annnnnd...page turn. so good. just so good.

[@manuelfohr6898]

Best Halvorsen Ever

[@francoiseceau-yr1om]

Violon et alto en parfaite harmonie Son d'une pureté irréprochable Mais que c'est beau Handel quand deux grands seigneurs s'en emparent.

[@司睏肄]

This piece is super beautiful,thanks handel!!

[@salomonhelperin4837]

Great art. WOW!

[@Phyoomz]

This is my favorite interpretation, love the soft improvs

[@fionashow007]

they are all geniuses!!!! wish i could play the viola as well as Zukerman does...

[@hflvx]

@MrCelloman5 Thanks so much. I think I found it. It was played at the Huberman Festival in 1983.

[@devaraja42]

The Julliard School? Perlman teaches there on Saturdays. I'm currently in Zukerman's old high school! Which is across the street.

[@rapter9800]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@slimbullet96]

Perlman and Zimmerman both blew me when I heard their passacaglias, and I really can't decide which I like better, without hearing perlman play it with a cello and Zimmerman playing it with a viola :)

[@Sortudinho]

Love the contrast right at the end at 6:05. So little, but so pleasing to hear

[@punchaloo]

decided to play this song for fun. So Beautiful! They play it so well.

[@gatfatf]

I didn't realize there was a false ending until I listened to this recording, my violin buddy and I just barreled through. This really set me straight.

[@pt192]

Two legendary masters

[@marcelo-ze6ng]

Love to hear drums at 5:38 you realize their mastery when you hear Zukerman’s fourth finger as it’s own percussion

[@qweasd123456543]

Harmony is very well played!

A melancholy piece, yet so touching.

[@pabloXXVI]

Que hermoso!!!!!

[@makaitung1]

A treasure to be found in KZbin!

[@ms2cu225]

Luck luck luck luck....what beautiful luck to have found this piece today.

[@Viiolinist2323]

It is called ricochet, in which you bounce the bow across the string in one direction, therefore making a spicatto sound. It is used in Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and Bazzini's La Ronde de Lutin

[@bb1111116]

This Passacaglia is an arrangement of Handel's Harpsichord Suite in G minor, HWV 432.

[@victorgustavo4366]

Thx Johan Halvorsen, great work

[@corriedebeer799]

He only did the adaptation.

[@carolinabrava8363]

[@spacialzeropoint]

This is amazing :)

[@scooterk23]

@Flaminggential when you are playing on an open string, you con vibrate the note one octave above and it will sound like you're vibrating the open string.

[@1AdrianR]

@MrJYTK du pre refers to Jacquelin du Pre arguably the greatest cellist of the 20th century and recorded what is considered the definitive version of the Elgar Cello Concerto. Unfortunately she had multiple sclerosis and died at an early age.

[@chinonhl333]

This is fucking REAL MUSIC..!!!

[@urss24]

Bela performace!!!

[@MrCelloman5]

@hflvx not sure, but I know that it was part of a string of performances held in Jeruselum during a music festival of some kind. Hope that helps!

[@2ndintelligentWorld]

amazing!

[@maybenaught]

@ragnaroz97 sounds like a beautiful viola. :)

[@rhiannalingle7509]

Immaculate!

[@richardwebb2348]

Zuckerman - long time advocate for the performance of baroque music on period instruments

[@jelmer1234567]

yes he was:) it's brilliant

[@japanesecorndog]

The reason this viola playing is so good is that Pinky is really a violinist! :P

[@shaynamabee]

mad skillz.

[@chelsearule789]

this is brilliant! alexander markov and his dad also play this piece

[@carvindc400]

@122chucknorris Please upload that! Thank you.

[@Salko62]

5:23 ....

[@zackatak]

okay i see what you mean! wow!! i'm not sure if i prefer this piece with viola or cello. the zimmermann/brunello "rendition" is probably still my favourite! thanks for sharing wells' though...fantastic!

[@jonkathon]

NEED TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THIS PIECE!!!!!!!

[@122chucknorris]

No bullshit, I had this years superbowl party with Pinchas and his wife, just them, me and my parents. They're old family friends. If you want, I can upload a video of me playing the Telemann double viola concerto with him during the 4th quarter.

[@musiccritic10]

well said

[@massimilianoitalia9444]

Capolavoro per tutta l'umanità

[@Rufetia]

I have noticed some do, but you have to remember a few things 1)they're old 2) Many of them don't use shoulder rests. They sound good and don't seem to get injured so whatever works Anyway, Heifetz had perfect posture and a lot of great violinists don't have bad posture. I wouldn't recommend you emulate anything hunched over...

[@alexriedel5131]

I wish someone with a tardis could have picked up Händel and taken him to one of the epic performances of Perlman and Zukerman! This is punkrock!
