The reason Itzhak Perlman always looks so happy in these videos: he loves violin music, and he gets to listen to (one of?) the world's best violinist(s) play it literally right next to his ear.

It is such a pleasure to be alive, and to have experienced this level of musicianship and artistry. I was actually privileged to hear Lawrence Foster conduct the Houston symphony, Sibelius violin concerto, with Perlman as soloist 1977. It was a two night, sold out event...I went both nights. First night I was 5th row center, second night I went to the balcony to hear the difference. It was a stunning performance....simul-cast by KLEF radio....which I recorded...and still own. The difference between Perlman and the last couple generations of violinists is, he approaches the audience with the attitude, "I want to tell you a beautiful story, which I love". The others are "Watch how fast I can play, watch me stray from the score because you don't realize I'm just on an ego trip". Perlman is class....A-Z.

I have to disagree. Perlman was and is very VERY respected as a musician and an artist. Perlman is often considered better than many of the older legends such as Oistrakh, Milstein or even Heifetz. Even Heifetz was impressed by Perlman when he visited the Julliard school. Perlman also mentioned that he practised around 3 to 4 hours a day, except when there was an upcoming concert, when he'd practise 5 hours a day.

I saw Mr. Perlman in recital in the 1980s in Spartanburg SC USA. It was a "community concert series" affair. His performance was excellent and he was without question the most gracious major artist I've ever seen. Instead of presenting himself as the superstar he really was, it was more like an old friend had dropped by your house to have fun making music. By the end of the evening, he had everyone in the palm of his hand.

The beautiful integrity of sound: presentation of great magnificence! Great joy!

[@fingerhorn4]

Even now, still amongst the greatest performances of this piece. Such an unconventional style, vibrato, left hand position, nowadays probably banned from all academies and conservatoires, by my goodness it worked for Perlman. Such rhythm, such dynamic playing and such a sweet sound on those top notes. When you think about it, every bit of his technique is unconventional. Quite a tight grip, low in the left hand "V". Huge thumb all over the place. Extraordinary reach to high positions without needing to get the whole hand up there. A very individual vibrato which sounds fabulous, etc, etc.

[@anandkrishnan6604]

The reason for it “being banned from academies” is because now the teachers and professors want all students to sound the same. Perlman is one of the last of that old style of violin learning, where each violinist sounded different. Galamian is one of the reasons this has happened to many, and fortunately Perlman escaped the brunt of it, with DeLay helping him become the great violinist he is today.

[@stevengates4437]

He was around 37 here.....like he had mastered everything like twenty times.....by then you don't need to do things exactly like the first ten years....he IS doing things the classical way,he's not unconventional......he is probably the second best of all time.....he does everything the normal way.....I'm a retired soloist.....believe me he's just like the people of today.....i learned off of watching every video he EVER did....so inspiring......he's a top notch guy.....unlike heifetz....heifetz, was a taker.....Pearlman is a giver.....to bad heifetz was such a bullcrapper....so fake in front of the camera.....so good but also so bad.....

Perlman is unrivalled. Itzhak manages to tease out every ounce of emotion from this epic piece. The master of interpretation. Johannes would have been impressed.

MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE BY THE MASTER IN HIS GLORIOUS PRIME !! For years I have regarded Perlmans Performance with Barenboim And The Berlin Philharmonic as his Greatest Effort Pertaining to this piece, until I Recently Discovered this Vedeo, which Captures Perlman in his Prime at The Height of his Powers !! I was AMAZED at the Quality of the Sound of this Vintage Vedeo Considering its Age !! IS IT JUST ME, BUT DOESN'T THE YOUTHFUL PEARLMAN , RESEMBLE FRANZ SCHUBERT !!?, ( MAYBE ON STEROIDS !!? )..... Just A Passing Thought !!..
