Itzhak Perlman & Pinchas Zukerman - Handel Halvorsen Passacaglia (HQ)

Itzhak Perlman (violin) - Pinchas Zukerman (viola)

[@briannallamas9547]

I love this piece, I can hear it all day and not get tired of it. Only perlman and zukerman can do this perfectly in their own way.

[@Cat-no8ts]

I heard this stringed duet when both Zucherman and Perelman were younger and, to me, there was even more fire in this version of their performance than before. Both are outstanding musicians.

[@fpires7]

It is funny... you watch some performances of Passacaglia and people seems to make haste like hell through some parts and kill the emotion of that music. Than you watch Perlman and Zukerman's performance and feel like "ahhhh that's a performance that is not just pure technique and speed." Not sure if everyone feels the same.

[@STELLA-np7ge]

Yeah I think it too, other musicians on KZbin play this piece too speedy just to show they are very good and talented, not to share this pure magic with humans (musicians and not musicians)! And I'm talking by experience, I play violine

[@mrsloth-qw8pt]

Pedro Pires you should watch Julia Fischer and Daniel Muller Schott

[@_silverword]

Alessandro Vernante youre full of bullshit. these guys rush through parts more so than others. they also mess around with the bowings too much. their bows also squeak too much. the violinist here cant hit the high notes with accuracy. his sound becomes noticebly softer when he has to hit high notes cause he's not confident. theres a korean duo that was only 15 at the time that played this better.

[@rainyday6430]

But at some point you have to ask yourself, what is the point of perfect technique without real musicality behind it?

[@_silverword]

DiamondDragons there is a perfect playing by 2 koreans on yt that are 16. im just not happy how people are saying this is the best playing when its clearly not.

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

I love these two together. Thank you so much for uploading this. Sublime. Perlman looks like he's having so much fun.

[@BESTOFCLASSICALMUSIC]

Yes you are right. I love everything about this performance of this piece.

[@linhshan]

Right?! Itzhak Perlman always looks like he is immersing himself in the piece and it all goes to his face. That's what I love about him

[@Javi18House]

2:36 best face and moment

[@theredumbrella4899]

😂

[@carlijnhulsmann6955]

Javi18House true😝

[@joncaju]

You are referring to the lady in red in the background right? I am pretty sure that's Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palen impersonation

[@benandre3225]

2:36 Perlman: Hehe, I am so good

[@leonhardeuler6811]

2:36

[@joycegrace1032]

So hard to stop listening to this play. I am pressing the replay button for one hour.

[@adoreyourspouse1669]

I love this piece! I could listen to it a 1,000 times, oh, maybe I already have!

[@WobblesandBean]

And to think, if not for Star Trek TNG, I'd never had discovered this incredible piece!

[@annieb9627]

+Amelia Bee That's why I'm here as well. What a beautiful piece of music!

[@teepee431]

Me too. But I also heard it in a full dress Israeli Philharmonic celebration of Israel's 60th (?) year.

[@jordanwartell-composer]

One of the best pieces for viola and one of the best performers to do so!

[@ivana4638]

Incredible to watch Maestro Perlman play. I never see such effortless playing.

[@jameswilson4551]

I am a novice violin and viola player and am greatly blessed to hear these "God -Gifted" musicians play with such skill and expression P.T.L.!!!

[@malletbjm]

Fingers like sausages, but such incredible accuracy

[@Seannieeess]

The grace note at the end gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@annagretajaramilloparra5021]

No tengo palabras para describir como me siento cuando escucho este tema está tan llena de emoción, perfectamente decorada. Simplemente la música es hermosa.

[@miguelangelmontalvan2559]

Así es , está increíble 😍😍

[@JustFiddler]

betul.

[@breakingthebroken84]

zukerman.'s bowing is fantastic, so slight and elegant... his right hand seems dancing above the strings

[@indiopony]

Magic. Just magic. I never get tired of seeing this performance.

[@VoxsPats]

I love some people thinking that they're some kind of world-class musicians in comments section As a senior in a performing arts high school, this performance really is beautiful and how this piece is printed, it can be interpreted any way they want. The wanna add ricochet? Then they can add ricochet. They want to slow down some parts or speed up others? Then that's perfectly fine. Sheet music is the road map to true music, the way the musicians interepret it turn it into real music.

[@BeerBarbecueDad]

Their instruments sounded lovely xD Perfect resonance and crystal clear sound

[@Michajeru]

Top notch. It doesn't get better than this.

[@JeanDeLaCroix_]

Viola often sounds like an old pan, but zuckermann doesn't. I usually prefer the cello-violin version but this is lovely. They are fantastic musicians and great friends and therefore they form a wonderful and brilliant duo.

[@NathanMeltzer]

So fantastic!

[@NathanMeltzer]

pianodudeler Thanks! I definitely will! :)

[@applegreeenable]

Jajajajaja...indeed :-) Perfect presence

[@philipthelephant21]

Nathan Meltzer it is!

[@TheWachuflein]

Amazing movement economy of the right arm and hand by these two maestros. Total efficiency.

[@劉威文-n7l]

音樂界典範！ 百年來最美好的合奏～～～

[@AlexToussiehChannel]

Perlman is out of the ordinary.

[@SynthFrode]

Beautiful, beautiful, fantastic, fantastic! I have no words!

[@lukashf8440]

omg Zukerman's sound is just godlike 😍😍😍😍 so good

[@wahadmenel-ness6408]

itzhak, you make it look so damn easy!

[@Clutched392]

I tried to find a violist to do it with me but it was just too much to *handel*

[@thelookingcat]

Lol shhhhhh listen to the music, but very punny

[@violaisreallycool]

I'd love to try and play it with you! I need to find a violinist too.

[@arlos21]

aqui hay de todo, melodia, armonia, tecnicas, sentimiento.... amo esta pieza sin duda!!!

[@lauradewhurst2860]

So beautiful!! You sound great together as always. Yes that viola is amazing. Almost sounds like a cello!

[@Eric-oj1cl]

Shh... don't comment. Just listen...

[@akdune]

um, you just commented...

[@levifromthehood]

how could you fuck up something like this?

[@christinamoon5636]

😂😂

[@angeldeleon5812]

The irony

[@Clutched392]

Look who’s talking.... damnit I just commented

[@eimabey1901]

Hearing this makes me soul floating between heaven and earth, wandering in the beautiful unknowns.

[@焼き芋-w1g]

この曲を聴くと、なぜか泣きたくなる。とても見事な演奏です。 そして、パールマンの演奏が、先生の曲に近づきつつある。 When I listen to this song, I want to cry for some reason. It's a very nice performance. And Perlman's performance is getting closer to the teacher's song.

[@matiascruz1270]

Warning: even in this beautiful art, there is a flame war in the comments about its merits of being enjoyed or not. Please avoid this section and, if thou durst to venture further, please wear protective gear. If you don't want to feel upset, I suggest just enjoying the music and having a lovely life

[@yukaviguier9396]

Tout simplement parfait!

[@peggyjuma]

😢😢the begging just pierces my soul

[@ManTheSloth]

Best song ever made

[@XxganedenxX]

At @2:51 Zukarman plays with one hand. And other change page. I do it all the time ….with out viola when reading book. Superb performance , each give other place and when needed help to elevate other. Then together masterpiece. So much emotion they enter to it. And all on tune

[@caesarmaria-anitahelensant2135]

This is beautiful

[@JeanClaudeWelche]

Merci pour cette version expressive de la Passacaille

[@dantenorio93]

I absolutely love Perlman's face at 2:37, it's so easy for him!!

[@maurorossi7803]

[@rochelimit55555]

[@DeuteriumGames]

3:50 the lady behind perlman in the audience wearing red

[@martineshamzin7535]

Who cares. They look good that way.

[@Tonetwisters]

Yeh, that DOES add to the music, right?

[@guerrero4982]

Tonetwisters You’d actually be surprised

[@joncaju]

@@DeuteriumGames 3:50 that's either Sarah Palen or Tina Fey

[@ruyingsun4706]

watch to cry...not sure why.. it's so great

[@TheDjangojunkie]

absolutely beautiful

[@truscorpio13]

I wish I could sticcato like that

[@luponl997]

It's "staccato" not "sticcato"

[@wilfreddamon1971]

Actually - pizzicato (plucked notes)

[@areyougoingtoeatthatbanana2095]

No, he meant sticcato guys please

[@daxpulino7504]

Did you mean steccato?

[@LVcatTale]

Some quick definitions to those who are confused reading this comment thread: spiccato - a bowing technique where the bow bounces on the strings staccato - the notes are played short and separated from each other pizzicato - where you pluck the notes instead of bowing them Hope this helps

[@andrewchou3g]

Itzhak Perlman is the best!!!

[@violageiger1]

Eine schöne Erinnerung an meine Kammermusikjahre. Dieses wunderbare Werk spielte ich mit Christos Polizoides im Rahmen der Eggenberger Schlosskonzerte und in Salzburg im Schloss Mirabell.

[@tinana5723]

the viola shines for once

[@afanasiy299]

I love so much this masterpiece

[@caithnessviolinist7903]

Two genii.

[@Biribeau]

"Due" geni :-)

[@abernacle]

No words.

[@Miguel-ks2mc]

That's true

[@oniony2]

Beautiful, Beautiful stuff.... But you gotta wonder what that guy to the left did to deserve Perlman twatting him with the bow at the end :Z

[@cylcowenshen]

perlman just saying nice job :)

[@johnfawcett7621]

That guy on the to the the left is just as good and famous as perlman ya know:)

[@WeigleCorreia]

Wow!!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!

[@peterlabus5595]

The sound of Zukerman is simply amazing. Does anybody happen to know, what Viola he is playing here?

[@jxshify2972]

If I didn't forget. No one dare play this in the orchestra after these two guys played because everyone thought this was perfect.

[@Crazylogan101]

Itzhak Perlman is the same violinist who played the schindlers list theme song! He's awesome

[@andrealopezz]

🎻😍😍😍😍 this is so beautiful 💕💕💕💕 🎻

[@VioLAPlaYer239]

Love this piece.. the opening and 2:54 - 4:03 make me cry....

[@pietalpha2]

I prefer the depth and greater "soul" of the cello in this piece, wonderful as these two players are performing it

[@EraLily]

pietalpha2 What cello? You mean VIOLA?

[@ellacarmen7331]

MusicInMe I'm assuming he/she meant the cello-violin version of this piece. Julia Fischer played a version with a cellist as her partner, sorry I don't know his name.

[@EraLily]

Ella Carmen he/she was referring to THESE 2 performers in THIS video. It would make no sense to bring up Julia Fischer's performance without bringing up her name or referring to a different video. Otherwise, that comment makes no sense!

[@ericashmusic8889]

How Wonderful to hear this in their prime..Many Thanks to Patty.
