Perlman and Zukerman: "Grand Duo"

[ViolistMourlam]

needless to say, theyre incredible...

Zukerman looks like a musketeer or a conquistador xD

[AmadoDom]

Jajajaja Zukerman no hizo nada, solo conto unos chistes un poco de pizzicato algunas notas de principiantes, pero de alguna manera el se merece los aplausos... ¡Bravo!

[PainMonkey]

Perlman: Scabillybibbillydabbilydoobill­yzaazaaazaaazippydibibbityzooz­abedabbityzoozoozoo.

Zukerman: pluck pluck pluck *turns page* pluck pluck pluck

[because88]

Surprised Zukerman didn't break a sweat next to the fucking heat that is Perlman.

[yangsta72]

I'm doing this piece with my teacher (she's playing the first violin part), and may I just say that the accompaniment is incredibly fun to play.

[javipol09]

Oh my gosh! this is incredible..! his hand is so fast!!! OMG!! is the best of the world! Definitively

[adaptiveagile]

No words....

[randomdude1020]

0:35 kinda makes me wonder what "too fast" is

wow

amazing performance

[ViolinBachlover123]

OOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG­GGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[reh1997]

@guitaristified they had red bull

[halneufmille]

Perlman is rushing.

[vadvadim]

good for you

[Guitaristified]

WTF was that!! his fingers had wings!!!!

[killercheese101]

Man, viola parts are just supportive nowadays...

[thelostnoob185]

@killercheese101 Zukerman is playing a violin, just like Perlman

viola is bigger

[justbeitnow]

baaaaaaaaaaha. ba. woooooooooooow.....that was stellar!!!!

[097RochiTha097]

muy bueno ,excelente :D

[jkviolin7]

perlman: "not too fast now"........what i'm thinking: NOT TOO FAST NOW?!?!?! WHAT?!

[MrMKH2010]

Viola Rules!

[root1995]

@MrMKH2010 zukerman isn'T playing the viola

[punchaloo]

my two friends are doing this piece. DANG. I'll get there soon

[Ivanhoe2]

Wonderful to see these superb artists work together, with the light hearted touch in between the magnificent performances. So amusing and uplifting at the same time. Many thanks for posting. ,Best Wishes.

[PrettyLittlePinup]

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

[Andromcfenne]

ush <3 . <3

[Hell0oIrony]

I remember when they had brown hair<3 hahah adorable ^_^

[death0personified]

it seems like Perlman has played this better before, or maybe i just heard a better recording???

[nickia88]

expertise

[MusicCloud1]

If you listen to Zukerman playing, you can obviously hear the E string, which a viola does not typically have (5 string viola exception). Also, in the video there are several times where you get to observe Zukerman playing and he obviously plays G note strings on his lowest strings, which should make it obvious to anyone as to what instrument he is playing.

[sarbiewskiego]

Ever asked why especially jewish musicians are so talented ?

[lemidi]

@sarbiewskiego Yes, but whats the answer...?

[MmmAnastasy]

@sarbiewskiego It`s not a question of nationality, imho. Simply sometimes geniuses are born, such Man like Perlman is a present to us. although...сoncerning Jews, they are very very talented people, talented and clever, such is the custom

[fabiolcezma]

it cant be better i love them sound very professional =) thnx

[Zhyhm]

oh no i will never be able to play this crazy!!

[Roquefortify]

The real reason why Zukerman can't play the hard part is a viola can't go that high. Only if he did harmonics like a crazy bitch.

[violadude2]

@Roquefortify but he's not playing viola, he's playing violin.

[Roquefortify]

@violadude2

Seriously? I thought I heard a C.

[violadude2]

@Roquefortify Well if you look at 0:18 you can see both the instruments are the same size also I play the vola so... also sorry if I come across as pedantic but I've finished for the summer and have alot of spare time and i have to spend it doing something.

[bckm54]

@violadude2 u can also tell zuckerman is playing a violin cuz it sounds shallow and shrill, disadvantages that the viola doesn't have... :)

[JNLVB21]

woooowww!

[mimiklunique]

"Not too fast"... ha ha ha....

love them ^^

[methuseling]

it would be nice to se them taking turns they could play it twice

[ollik6]

@methuseling, have a look at the clip titled 'Perlman and Zukerman Violin Virtuosi', ohh it's one of those Video Responses.

[methuseling]

this not equal sharing

[Perpolla1945]

@methuseling does it have to be?

[raoultak]

Perlman is doing the work......but both are magnificent

[TheViolinCase]

@raoultak There's not really such a thing as "doing the work" because it contributes to the overall quality. (: Think about it, Zukerman is keeping the tempo. He could totally rush Perlman to doom, haha.

[brankco]

Simply umbelievable!!!!!!

[gajek1]

This is amazing! I love how much fun they can have with such an incredibly difficult piece.

Fabulous.

[shadowzrike]

Now not so fast? That's really quick man!

[zhangshinyi]

at :16 are they arguing over who should play the part perlman ends up playing?

[wilofevil]

They are arguing over who will announce it.

[Humperdink18]

No.

They're arguing over who will announce to the audience what piece they are about to play.

"You announce"

"No, you announce"

"You announce"

"No, you announce"

"Just guess!"

[joelsan2000]

this is the part when we all go out of out petty problems to enjoy the beauty of the creation and its diversity. Enjoy

[carmenglezmart]

I just love them!

[usamaki10]

yes...

"the violin is nothing"

[007TheViolinist]

wtf! It such a great music!!!!!

[007TheViolinist]

THey play really wicked in such a short a time!

[ocramizz]

two gods of the music @_@ amazing

[gogosatoko]

yafe.....

[mquandour]

I saw this concert in london so many years ago. They were wonderful. The slides... the intonation the expression and techniques are a pure joy to hear and to watch. Perlman is simply one of the greats of our times.

[zuzanazuzanita]

Increíble dúo.

[Ender91]

After you watch something like this, there are not really many things to say.

One thing is for certain, those damn jews know how to play some serious violin!

[ericgable]

not just jews AMERICANS tooo... T.I.P Jascha Heifetz... greatest of all time!!!..

[Zhou9]

He wasn't American...

[ericgable]

he was too -.-

[Zhou9]

Heifetz wasn't born in America, nor did he pick up his skills there.

[violinastik]

dios que bueno . . . que sonido tan guao

[soadfan]

i love that little slide at the end of 43 seconds

[musikgirl1]

Thank you Christoforo!

Abrazos,

Jan :)

[shion051989]

when was it?

[pizza1512]

I just love these two! I wished I was born a few decades earlier to appreciate these guys!

[Mastershayster]

The real Gs of orchestral performance. They are so excellent, acting like this song is no big thing.

[TwelfthRoot2]

Perlman always has a great sense of humor no matter how large the performance is haha. I love these guys!

[SuperSpazzer]

ooo i love how they change the ending (:

[tanahara8]

tocan con madre esos dos. Ya dijeron todo lo que debieron de haber dicho. Simplemente perfecto.

[golfdog42]

shieeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttt­tt

[NonDairyYogurt]

You just can't help but to smile at things like this

[fingerhorn4]

This is utterly magical stuff from two shining pearls of violin mastery. Fantastic!

[ArthurTyler]

Unbelievably wonderful

[TheTheifInYourHead]

very virtousic. i like

[Srouble]

I saw these two perform last night, Thay are truely amazing! Thay always make thr crowd laugh before the performance!

[Imasianurnotstfu]

...absolutely phenominal...perlman's clarity is just incredible and zukerman's accompaniment sounds vastly more interesting than the piano accompaniment commonly played with this caprice =D

[kenkim5]

just spectacular.

[warsawuprising]

Perlman looks adorably nerdy. :D

[singinginachurch]

Sure does. =]

[sijas]

but sexy too :)

[singinginachurch]

Who?

[crschang1985]

I think they are the best duo ever, beating all duos in history like Malone and Stockton, Jordan and Pip, and such

[Violinater]

Ha lol...I like kobe and vujacic.. not bad :D

[mtava002]

this performance gives me a boner.

[LegionMCR]

wow. i love this. also, this is has some rather impressive camera shots like at 1:00.

[wmd10]

Nice, rare footage. Thanks for posting this.

[IonizedViolinist]

perlman is undeniably one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century

[vrljikkerssfesst]

who composed this violin & viola duet ???

[violindevil]

sorry but this is violin duo by wieniawski. i know zukerman does play viola as well but he is a violinist

[vrljikkerssfesst]

oh, so wienawski then.... i didn't know he's also a great violinist..... ^_^

[willspear1564]

Interestingly enough, for a while he was simply an awesome violist, then he switched to back to violin after about 20 years of mainly viola.

[vrljikkerssfesst]

oh, ok

[wutuworry]

freaking awesome ^.^

[violaplayer1995]

:] amazing
