John Williams, Itzhak Perlman - Schindler's List

[@sharonhii1099]

Itzhak’s version feels like the violin is crying deep inside but still trying to hold back the tears and putting on a straight face.

[@jehuirasales3588]

Hes the original one who played this.

[@franziskad.5738]

Oh.. yes.. very well said

[@stephenwatkin18]

He makes his violin speak

[@Burnieceproductions]

The fact that the audience pauses for roughly 6 seconds after the piece is completed just shows how moved everyone was. The fact that Perlman was able to do that with his violin reveals how marvelous of a musician he was. He moved an ENTIRE audience. Not ONE person knew what to do when the song was over. EVERYONE was so full of emotion for the song. Bravo to you Itzhak Perlman. You are a fine musician.

[@downboy3957]

[@eringryffin]

Never noticed that but you might be onto something. The first woman we see is not just waiting for it to finish, she is literally covering her mouth, that moved. It's just true, this tune doesn't sound the same when others play it. Beyond beautiful.

[@savtazvia3456]

@@user-vn7sj5ig8w Not a fine musician. THE FINEST!! No one plays like him. It's his soul and and his being are playing . There isn't one like him. He plays to the 6 millions and to us who survived and he moves our souls and our being down to the deepest core and soul. He does not play an instrument he plays his soul to our souls.

When Spielberg showed to John Williams an unedited copy of the movie, the composer was left speechless. He declared himself unable to write the score, and said to Spielberg "you need a better composer than I am for this...". Spielberg just replied, "I know, but they're all dead!".

[@tylerjacobson8012]

To dive into Schindlers list is to dive into a pit of loneliness. To immerse in Schindlers list is a challenge to ones soul. You begin to relate to these people and you begin to relate with the pain and sorrow. I don't believe there is a better film ever made. It's the most haunting experience I've ever had watching film. And this song wrote by John played by the great itzahk is the most beautiful piece of music for film. There's no comparison. If you don't feel something when hearing it you're dead inside. There's something about it that simply haunts you. It's superb.

[@georgiikhachaturov6170]

In Odessa in 1941, my pregnant aunt holding her 7 year son and my grandmother were at the tail of a column of Jews escorted for extermination. The guards were Romanian soldgers. "Fanya, give the guard your jewlry" said grandma to my aunt. So the aunt did and the guard turned away his head as she holding the hand of her son escaped into a sideway street. They survived but from that moment nobody has heard any news about my grandma. Every time when I hear the Schindler's list tune, I imagine how, still walking in the column, my grandma follows with her eyes for her escaping daughter and grandson.

[@dhui777]

Luka Sulic no violoncelo. Absurda!

[@bettyanngerman31]

Everytime someone publishes a performance of the theme of Schindler's List, I always return to this performance for a comparative study. Many violonists play this piece with a slower tempo, but for me the tempo which Itzhak Perlman plays this intrinsically sad melody demonstrates the urgency of time for the poor victims who had so little time left by continually pushing the song through. I have always felt that this performance is like the sound of a human voice reproduced by the violon. Mr Perlman plays the piece with such a deep understanding that only age can bring. This piece truly belongs to him. PWhat also makes this performance so great is John Williams' understanding of Hebraic folk music for the composition as well as his wonderful conducting skills. He holds back the orchestra at certain points to let the violin sing its melancholic song and then controls the timing perfectly of that so important last note. It enraptured the entire audience so much they didn't breathe or clap for 6 seconds. It always makes me cry without fail.

That song--his talent--haunts me to this day. I cannot listen to this song without crying. What a master violinist!

As masterful as John Williams is, still it is hard to imagine this tune without Itzahaks touch.
