Is no one going to talk about how Perlman shut down the audience, with just his fingers at 2:36?

[@MarshallMusicStudio]

I saw it! Amazing!

[@MarshallMusicStudio]

He didn't even look at them... just clicked his fingers. 😉

[@kroert2259]

I hope the old-fashioned tradition of not clapping in between movements goes away. Let the audience appreciate the music! Enough with the elitism of classical music. It’s time to end old ideology.

[@porc3lain_7]

@@kroert2259 its not supposed to be about elitism, although I can see how it can come across that way. It's supposed to be about listening to and appreciate and enjoying the music how it was written. Being able to hear it how the composer intended it. If I were the composer and I heard my piece performed and people clapping between the movements, it would bother me because it disrupts how the piece flows.

[@bag3lmonst3r72]

Just to let anyone interested know, the first two are from Op. 98 (Five Pieces for Two Violins and Piano). It's only the third one, the Waltz, that's from Op. 97d, which is an arrangement of themes from "The Gadfly".

[@blundgrenviolin]

I was wondering why the Waltz was different... thank you!!

[@patriciajrs46]

Thank you, truly, for the identifications.

[@JeanDeLaCroix_]

Deepest interpretation I've heard so far. The violinists are getting old but the musicians are still young.

They were scheduled to play in Miami in late February, but Perlman fell ill. Hope he is feeling better by now. They really are the violin duo par excellence.

[@johankaruyan5536]

How are you on every classical music video ?!

[@williamkhairi9339]

If you look closely at 2:44 Perlman wasn't ready and had to quickly get his violin up, and yet he still starts out perfectly lol

[@masonhaskett3425]

The pianist was waiting for them to put their instruments up too lol 'time to play, wake up'.

[@sebastiansuvini6897]

He did NOT come in in time, the pianist streeeetched out the intro

[@williamstadel6113]

Don't you forget that they're great teachers now

[@Vegathlete]

Truly, we are blessed to have them still playing for us. What a gift that is !

[@georgefarias7409]

Discovering the romantic side of Shostakovich. What a surprise as Perlman said without the bitterness.

[@abluelobster2586]

Great stuff. And I think that's Boston's Symphony Hall?

[@debrawhited3035]

Mr. Perlman recorded this piece with his former student David Garrett on the album ICONIC. With CV shutdowns effecting everything, it's hard to know which performance might have inspired the other, but whichever came first, it is a beautiful piece of music and both are wonderful performances.

[@michele4837]

This is amazing!

[@personalnotesmusic]

So glad to see them still playing beautifully!!! This is lighter music for Shostakovich than I'm used to hearing. Delightful!

[@christinestill5002]

Just switched to this from a 1978 performance (Handel). Wow, so glad to see them still playing together, both white hair & sitting!

[@keithlewis859]

These are only avaliable live on youTube !!!!

[@RAFITAESTRADITA]

Thanks God for this gift.

[@classicalduck]

Arrangements of other Shostakovich works by Lev Atovmian.

[@kinorspielmann4649]

Gewaltig! Magnificent performance by two of the greatest violinists of our time. And who would've guessed this was Shostakovitch!

[@paganini1759]

Is this second Vn Zukerman ? Perlman and he are mutual partners for the two violins.

[@steph-dl7ye]

That angle gives me a throwback to when I recorded a classical concert as well 😂😭

[@BytomGirl]

Yesterday I was listening to all 5 pieces performed by Joshua Bell, now cam across this one and love it so much. Both are wonderful, I adore Shostakovich and this music makes me feel good, I love his symphonies but you have to have a different mind set for them.

[@mariexenhave5402]

yes

[@Noriel1221]

how to find the sheet music of walzer?

[@gretelgtz5478]

You can find it on IMSLP by Internet. There you can find a lot sheet music about all. Is a virtual library for all the world!!

[@marks9618]

Be careful, though. A lot of Shostakovich's music isn't public domain yet

[@neonwolf___1116]

Hi, did you manage to find the waltz?

[@nomanches3547]

Why does the clapping after the first movement only happen in America? I’ve seen Ormandy frown an audience into silence !

[@eri6219]

@@christinestill5002 it does NOT happen in every concert in America. but there are always going to be people who have never been to a classical performance before.

Perlman's sound is mostly still there but Zukerman is beginning to sound like a marshmallow. (It would have been good to have professional microphones instead of a mickey mouse cell phone, but, still..... )

[@DLamasVla]

violinhunter2 well it's recorded on a cellphone and Perlman is closest. I've seen PZ live and he definitely doesn't sound like a marshmallow.

[@belmon38]

Actually Zukerman keeps in much better shape than Perlman. He is just farther away
