I was there when this performance took place several years ago.Zuckerman is one of the world’s greatest violinists who has a special affinity with the Elgar .He can make the fiddle talk, so coupled with Andrew Davis conducting,this is a great combination.Everyone talks about Hilary Hahn these days,who is very good but this guy is the master

[@NikosZarb]

I was lucky to be actually playing in this, it is one of the highlights of my performing career!! I’m glad you liked it too! ❤

[@timperalta9430]

@@NikosZarbamazing!!! Would you share more about the experience?

[@nikoszarb1]

@@timperalta9430 well Zukerman was on top form (when is he not?) & the atmosphere was both exciting & relaxed during rehearsals. The sound he produced from his fiddle was incredible, really individual & it really spoke emotions & character like one rarely encounters with soloists. It was unique. I don’t know if this comes over for everybody in the video. It was a culmination of the whole experience for me, from 1st rehearsal to final notes & applause.

[@Biber0315]

Master? Not so long ago I saw him in Cleveland (Blossom) performing a Mozart concerto and he was playing wrong notes.

[@nikoszarb1]

The chap is 75 years old, give him a break…I’m sure Heifetz doesn’t sound too good these days but he’s still a master!!

[@mjp4164]

Everything Pinchas loves and cares about goes into his music. He's not trying to show off or be special. He is a musician, a musician who loves his music.

[@user-ie2bx2dd7e]

What a beautiful arm vibrato!

[@RobHersh-st7rh]

Oh he played that beautifully tremendously.

[@duggiefresh8170]

My favorite violinist playing a fabulous concerto....

[@josesentieiro4988]

É um exemplo a seguir por todos que amam a Música, e o violino, e viola de arco! Zuckerman é um violinista de excelente categoria!

[@wellingtoncardoso3956]

I have never seen master Zukerman playing with this interpretation and quality. Wonderful.

[@manuelgonzalezguerrero3254]

Estoy de acuerdo con todos los comentarios.

[@user-iz2pd9zb7h]

若い時にベルクの室内協奏曲を聴いてからズーカーマンのファンです。彼のひくコンチェルトの中でもこの曲や、バルトークは出色の出来と感じてます。本当に安心して聴ける数少ないバイオリニストでないでしょうか。

[@robotnik77]

Dedicated to violinist/composer Friedrich "Fritz" Max Kreisler 1875-1962. First performance Nov. 10, 1910, by the dedicatee, with the composer conducting, Queen's Hall, London. Zukerman's violin, to my ear, sounds as sonorous and deep-throated as a viola; it has a very rich timber. I have no idea what violin he's playing, but I love its voice.

[@tompenn-davies9560]

The “Dushkin” Del Gesu.

[@Orson2u]

YEAH. I love your viola timbre evocation because it’s TRUE!

[@sonviolin]

True music from an honest personality

[@nitavihervuori935]

Exellent performance ❤

[@440muzikatolyesi2]

This is what does means playing... He's got idea for each notes and moments of notes...

e' tutto una melodia, di una bellezza decadente.

[@ronnyromano2979]

Hilary is the Master as well and she is better then very Good she is among the greats of the 21 Century Violinist But this musician is great in this Time

[@nickhickson8738]

She is but very often her performances lack warmth or at least don't move me.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

⁠@@nickhickson8738I agree, she is often too harsh on her instrument. But she does have a beautiful, rich sound still, so this separates her from the majority of violinists I see today which are just soulless technicians without a sound to back it up.

[@powerofalto]

Zukerman sounds sensational. I just wish the conductor was a little more sensitive in terms of balance with the soloist.

[@ManorHouseMusic]

You're right, he does sound sensational. Do you think the balance issue may simply be the recording? The Albert Hall is such an enormous space that no soloist can fill it entirely (remember seeing Vengerov playing Shostakovich 1 and I'd bought a cheap ticket up in the Gods and could hardly hear a note!) :-)

[@olli-pekkakarppinen2747]

Probably there was nothing wrong with the hall, but the violinist. I was listening to Vengerov playing Brahms Concerto in Helsinki, Finland, and heard just half of the music. He forces sound so much that I always think, he must have something against his violin. Why else would he try to kill it in every concert? I have heard both Perlman and Zukerman in the very same hall - just beautiful violin sound.

racist

[@robotnik77]

Nuts - you don't understand - I'm a non-Jewish Norwegian. My Dutch violin teacher who was also non-Jewish always told me to "play more Jewish". There's nothing racist about it. It's cultural. You have to listen to violinists of the early 20th Century to understand. The violin was a staple of the Jewish diet. Through their troubles among Gentiles, they expressed their sorrows and yes, joys, through the medium of the violin. Learning how to play "Jewish" (Gypsy, too) it is helpful to know the culture and listen to more dramatic playing. I used to go to a store run by an ancient Jewish man; he sold old 78 records. I'd take the bus from Anaheim, and his shop was on Wilshire. He knew a lot about the old violin stars. I got Elman, Kreisler, Zimbalist, and records of less well-known European violinists and studied them and copied them, and after awhile, you get a feel, through the music, of the culture. I never took it as "They're Jewish" that's how they are, blah blah blah. I knew then what my teacher meant; and I think I know what Zuckerman meant when he said what he said. You haven't lived it, you haven't listened to it, you haven't spent the time to imbue yourself in the culture - of course you are not going to realize what he meant by "It's not in their DNA". he wasn't being a biologist. You just haven't learned to play with emotion because you haven't lived, or learned. The violin is not a typewriter - it's a medium through which you can express joy, sadness, excitement. Let your emotions come through your playing you can do it - and I'm sure that's what Prof. Zukerman was trying to draw from you. Don't play victim - play with your heart and soul. When you play, you must communicate with the listener's heart.

[@brc389]

@@robotnik77 You asshole - what nonsense are you talking about I don't know how that old racist gave you a lesson Don't let your emotions justify that old racist's behavior, you idiot The great man you said was racist scum So does his greatness make racism beautiful?
