  • I didn't know Stephen King played in a orchestra? 3:56

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • WOW! totally effortless but at the same time played with so much expression - what a great violinist, maestro and orchestra and ... piece

  • Katy perry has 266 840 138 views, Beethoven has 398 887 views.

    You can't explain that.

  • @Holdtheline07 ...have you ever heard about the Gauss curve?...possible explanation...

  • C´est magnifique!

  • Instead we send an ad for corn chips into space -

    /watch?v=5eRAXIo537k&feature=r­elated

  • wOw!!!!

    

  • Beethoven's 9th symphony...

    youtube.com/watch?v=EmV35VPRT9­s

  • imho the tempo is a little bit too fast...just an opinion...

  • And to think; this only a very small taste of what the very spirit of human kind can achieve when it sets its sights to greatness and glory. And truely, I agree. This IS the kind of shit we should be beaming out through the cosmos.

  • Very interesting; a Jewish violin virtuoso and a Jewish conductor playing a german concert probably in the same theater hitler attended concerts.  WHO WOULD THINK THIS WAS POSIBLE 70 YEARS AGO!!!....Great!!!!

  • I love Perlman, he's truly one of the greatest musicians today, if not the greatest.

    He does the multitude of little things that others ignore. For example, as the bassoon starts his solo at around 3:16, Perlman backs way off and lets the bassoon shine, despite him being the soloist. The other soloists obnoxiously try to hide it. Also, that little grace-note played, at around 1:06, was so delicate and perfect. I could go on and on about Perlman's awesomeness.

  • Herr Beethoven...Ich wurde Liebe mit ihr machen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 3:05 Poor little violin is crying! I wanna hug it!

  • oggi è il giorno di questo concerto...

  • Antbody knows who is the cadenza composer?

  • @CookieMonster1893 Fritz Kreisler

  • Center grand orchestra sound are urtra ability on silver shining court as beautyful traditional art sound with Mr. I. Pealman.

    Very Fine traditional sound in a super shining shound making hall keep

    great fame

  • @alexxxxxx

    No no your brother sucks. Less than 0.

  • I love the emotion in Perlman's face when he plays.. Such passion. He is so inspiring. I will begin taking violin lessons, I swear it.

  • I wish I can play like him *sigh

  • Es impresionante ver la maestria de este hombre, que apersar de tener una apareiencia muy robusta toca con un dulzura extaciante el que a mi gusto es el mas bello de los instrumentos musicales y deja sentir la vibra de su ser al interpretar tan magistral obra. El mejor concierto para violin janas escrito por un ser humano. Esto es la maestria de Beethoven.

  • @jarjar1966 NO SOLO ES ROBUSTO.....POR LA POLIO QUE LO ATACO DE NIÑO, EL USA MULETAS Y A PESAR DE ESO NO PERDIO EL TOQUE SUAVE EN SUS MANOS Y DEDOS.......ES SIN DUDA EL MEJOR VIOLINISTA DE NUESTROS DIAS.

  • Hello my 362138 friends! Boy, would I like to meet you all!

  • @rideg62 i know,classical music lovers!

  • Comment removed

  • @rideg62 how about these 12 people? :D

  • You can see the love of this music on his own face throughout the whole piece. Excellent performance!! Bravo!

  • Three things:

    1 - Perlman is a god. His wonderful personality, obvious love for the music, and unbelievable talent combine to make a breathtaking musician. And he looks like a big teddy bear.

    2 - This is one of the best pieces of music ever written and Itzhak plays it flawlessly. I think he brought tears to his OWN eyes with that soft shit at 3:27. THAT is what violins are made for.

    3 - This is the kind of stuff we should be sending into space so the aliens don't destroy us.

  • @MrStrangeSensation The soft piece at 3:27 makes ME cry. Imagine if you were the one playing it.

  • @TheTremo99

    I know! That one section (just like 10 seconds or so) is among my favorite moments in music history. It's absolutely beyond beautiful and no one plays it like Perlman.

  • @TheTremo99 It does sound very modern at that point. Beethoven was way ahead of his time...

  • @MrStrangeSensation no because we will probally destroy ourselfs before that at this rate in the next five years

  • This is the best music performance in my 200 CDs (even though 100 out of 200 is by Perlman... *cough*). This performance with Barenboim is just sweet and powerful (not just the 3rd movement, but all movements). When I listen to this performance in my room with closing my eyes I always cry, but if I was there in the audience I am sure I am smiling throughout looking at his performance. Wonderful.

  • For those who must try to impress us with their critiques....post your performance of this Beethoven piece or shut up. I'll listen and admire Perlman's worst performance anytime!

  • The Soil Stradivarius and Perlman a match made in heaven and a blessing to our ears. Simply an amazing performance

  • Magnificent!

  • To the people that take their time to upload these wonderful treasures of music thank-you so much ,regardless of who is playing ,be it Joshua Bell ,Sarah Chang ,or Itzhak Perlman.

  • a apresentação que chegou mais perto da do perlman foi a da ANNE-SOPHIE MUTTER .

  • perfeito. o melhor intérprete de todos os tempos...

  • If only this were as beautiful as contemporary atonal music...Beethoven could have learnt a few things from Schoenberg and Cage :P

  • @JohnBrookMusic

    For many people its the other way around. Different strokes for different folks.

  • @alley595 I was hoping the sarcasm wouldn't be lost on anyone. I might have been tad too subtle. :) I/\'m poking fun at the establishment promoting that contemporary horseshit. Mon the Beethoven!

  • Pudgy magical hands. Overwhelming, my heart in my throat, and one of the most beautiful performances I've heard. Someone is right here about the nitpicking that goes on. It's as if the nitpicker proves himself superior to the artist by picking out something to chide him for -- whereas all he really proves is a certain verdancy of face. Pah.

  • He plays it a little too fast in my opinion. Still amazing though.

  • Right, Georgie, now.

  • His projection and double stopping is kick-arse not to mention his phrases with a trill in one upbow. I like Itzhak.

  • My violinist friend says that when he plays the 3rd movement he sings "It's almost over, it's almost over..." to himself in his head!

  • @MSalt69 Can't think why. I just want music like this to go on and on forever!

  • @MSalt69

    What does that mean? Beethoven was not a good composer? Who wrote a better violin concerto ( all subjective ) Sibelius is good, but not as good in my opinion.

  • 2.46 ..cresecendo crescendo crescendo e poi ....dolce dolce dolcissimo...

    then you can faint...you need a pacemaker to hear this stuff!!

  • Sounds like a race at the end to scream "Bravo!"

  • This is probably one of the most lively orchestras I have ever seen. All of the local orchestras near me just seem so bored with the music they're playing.

  • Absolutely touching and breath-taking.. :( Beautiful!

  • 3:28 - 3:51 is the best part of this movement isn't it ?

  • @rochefort82 if u say that u are pretty talented and understand music very good gongratulations totally agreed

  • @okenta3ei thanks !!!

  • @rochefort82

    In my opinion, that's one of the best moments in music, period. That and the part just after the 1:00 mark, when he takes the first solo. That first high note he plays gives me goosebumps every time.

  • Jeśli Beethoven komponuje dla Boga w niebiosach to Perlman będzie jego kompozycje w przyszłości tam grał

  • damn..... where're my spare boxers

  • At 9:17, Perlman actually has time to loosen/tighten his bow!? !#()&#$()&@!?!? Incredible!

  • The most precious violin concerto ever...

    Beethoven has been one of the few artists able to comprehend, express and enlarged every definition of what is human.

    Thank you for this gift, wherever you are.

    

  • @kiaragre just my man u are dude...wise words beethoven is a gift to the earth..for me the biggest one

  • this is the bomb xD

  • My goodness gracious!! check out how young Baremboim is!!!!

  • The goose flaps its wings to govern

  • I agree cyborgcaptaincrunch....Beethov­en said the same thing to his students, its about expression not perfection!

  • beautiful!

  • At 3:04 I found myself thinking "whoa, Barenboim, I think there is piano in the orchestra score but why so piano, almost pianissimo? The violin line will stick out too much" Then after a few seconds the violin sounds so lonely, like crying and praying... just beautiful.

  • cyborgcaptaincrunch - I totally agree, thanks for saying it, as I too usually don't comment unless I see the same type of foolishness. Well said!

  • Peero que maravilla de obra !!!! y mas aun que espectacular violinista, lejos hasta ahora Perlman es lo Mejor

  • I was playing this movement at my School Concert...

    Can anyone go to this video and leave some comments? :)

    (Of course it was infinite distance to Perlman's! =( )

    v=JdYGmPH9fcs

  • Mr.Perlman says this is his favorite violin concerto. I believe him. :-)

  • I keep going back to 6:43 for infinite cadenza goodness

  • Flaws and mistakes in his playing? Where? I can only hear perfection!

  • @alexxxxxx

    send me an mp3 of your little brother playing.

    Even if he had 20 million up his ass and a fiddle to prove it he would sound like a fucking cat being tortured

    I sold a Beckman six foot upright to people who had a little concert pianist daughter. She could barely play Fur elise -- and even she could that is nothing to right home about.

    Your obviously a fucking idiot.

  • @alexxxxxx

    Really? You must be unclaimed treasure. If she is so good why have you not had him in the Tchaikovsky competition? You must be angry idiot. I'm certain your little brother could not play the first two notes of the concerto without everyone running as it would sound like a fucking cat being murdered.

    alexxxxxx -- what are you a fucking pederast. Who would pick a name like that.

  • Perlman really is a genius!! He always has a great interpretation of pieces he play.. He's one of the few violinist I really want to be like in the future, because despite his condition, he could still create such a magnificent sound, which I call 'PURE'... i wish i could be his student... or just to meet him in person is fine!! ^__________^

  • @alexxxxxx but does he play on a stradivaruis in his video

  • @violinlord Mate i doubt he knows what a stradivaruis is...

  • @MakotoShishio5

    Konichiwa

    He does play a Stradivarius he plays Guanerius Get your fucking facts straight before you start lecturing.

    fuck you and the crock you fucked.

  • @turncapp

    that is he does not play a Strad. Sorry I was trying to send a email to that idiot whos 12 year old brother plays better than Perlman.

    Sorry, my Japanese is very limited ( just guessing from your user name )

    domo arigato.

    k

  • @MakotoShishio5

    Sorry for apologizing. Your a fucking asshole.

    What do you do? Run some porno sight.

    And he plays a fucking Guarnerius not a Strad.

    m'kay

  • @turncapp Clever...

  • @turncapp

    No fucking shit asshole.

  • @violinlord

    No he plays a Guarnerius.

  • @turncapp strads are better

  • @violinlord

    I would not necessarily agree. Its like pianos. If it has Steinway printed on it every one thinks it is the best. Well certainly the most costly, but since around 1940, they have not built a decent instrument. I remember when I played Rachmaninoff at Kenyon College on a 9 foot grand 1962, and the thing was such a piece of garbage I just walked off the stage when I was done.

    Yamaha and kwai are much better, especially for your wallet.

  • I never usually comment because I think its a waste of time, but I must say that I am deeply disturbed by those who listen to great performances and pick out a few errors, that in Perlman's case I would hardly call errors, and prove to everyone that they can here them. I am not saying that great artists are above scrutiny, but I do believe that picking out tiny flaws out of a musically fantastic performance is petty and immature. Music means much more than that.

  • @cyborgcaptaincrunch

    I know its a waste of time, but I have insomnia so it gives me something to do in the evening. Anyone who rip on Perlman is an ass. Everyone makes mistakes. You should have heard me play Chopin's f minor prelude. It was a disaster. But I can play the damn thing. When your in front of a crowd, you want to talk about motor skills being compromised. That is when a little vodka would help you out.

    Some ass said his 12 year old brother was better.

    yeah

  • @cyborgcaptaincrunch

    Very well said. If anyone tears someone apart out of spite, they need a hobby. Even if they are violists they probably can't play for s**** and are upset.

    I play the piano and have heard all the garbage about Glenn Gould.

    Its all jealousy, and trust me I am jealous of both artists -- but out of respect, not anger.

  • @turncapp I love Glenn Gould. :D Have you seen that bizarre movie they made about him?

  • @turncapp

    Well said. I played violin when I was a kid ( actually performed Bruch at the Manes College of Music )

    But when I first heard Gould's recording of the Goldberg variations, I was hooked on piano. I am very jealous of Gould -- because he was so damn good.

  • @cyborgcaptaincrunch - Excellent observation! Sadly, people that cirticize minute 'errors' only demonstrate their own insecurity and short comings as people. I know I was like that, then I hit puberty...

  • @cyborgcaptaincrunch Well said. People like to poke at whoever is at the top of the mountain...

  • @cyborgcaptaincrunch

    Well said Captain. A vain attempt to look knowledgable.

    On a general note, I'd also like to say I love how Perlman basically has an entire orchestra just backing him up here :)

  • @cyborgcaptaincrunch

    Well said Captain. A vain attempt to look knowledgable.

    On a general note, I'd also like to say I love how Perlman basically has an entire orchestra just backing him up here :)

  • he is one of the few violinists that understands the music. He gerts that the orch part is just as important as the violin solo.

  • 5 string bass ???????????????????????????

  • @violinlord 5 string double basses were around before Beethoven.

  • there are moments on your life when you get to experience genius I was 19 years old when I first heard this and immediately fell in love but of course being a metal head at the time had to hide my forbiden love for this piece but now being much older I can enjoy and share without any worry at all I have already posted and listene to this at least 4 times..brilliant

  • Listened to other recordings of this and even though they are all technically accurate they somehow just don't compare to Perlman. It's truly outstanding...the last minute of this movement took my breath away

  • This man is the world's great violin player. Truly!

  • Whenever i see Perlman play, he reminds me of the true meaning of being a BEAST

  • @Baconisdelicous lmao!!!

    

  • @Baconisdelicous - Mr Perlmann is Jewish and probably never tasted bacon. Your choice of name speaks volumes - you are the kind of idiot that really thinks that asphalt is a rectal problem - but just remember that V.D. is nothing to 'clap' about, and the best part of you ran down your fathers leg

  • @cullivoebhoy wow, first of all, you responded to a comment 2 pages ago, why??Next I suppose you'll respond to someone who wrote a comment a year ago, right? Next, why would you respond to someone just talk about their name?Are you venting on the internet or something?Oh, and what is so bad about bacon?I actually really like bacon, goes great with eggs.I get Straight A's, so im not stupid.Also,are you saying I can't respond to a video because of my name?Well i'm SO sorry then.(note my sarcasm)

  • @cullivoebhoy Also, i couldn't fit this in, but I'm pretty sure you are the idiot for responding like that. If your wondering about the no spaces after my sentences, I tried to fit it all in, OK? So don't even try to get me on that. You are truly an Asshole. You actually define all the swears I can think of, but I don't want to bother you with them. Thank you for your time.

  • brilliant

  • Magnificent

  • How close to heaven can you come? Real close by listening to Berlin Phil and Itzhak and Barenboim in Beethoven mvt 3!

  • Contratto e nervoso

  • i really love classical musics!

  • Few pieces can be actually rated as "magnificent". This is certainly one of them.

  • Love it. <3

  • it gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it!!!!!

  • PERFECT 

  • speachless...

  • masterful

  • From 3:00 to 4:00 is heaven. (Bad english? yeah!)

  • rideg62 Although it's totally against my nature, I want to meet you in person and hug you for uploading this.

  • who's cadenza is he playing??

  • @haiz369 I think it's Fritz Kreisler's cadenza.

  • excellent

  • é bonito demais meu deus!

    parabéns a quem posta esse tipo de video,

    e ao gordinho violinista "manda bem demais da conta"

  • This conductor annoys me. Idk why. I just think Karajan is the end-all conductor other than Beethoven himself. Although, I think Beethoven would admire Karajan. And as for Perlman- unbelievably good.

  • I love this piece ... can't listen to it without thinking of 'The Resident Patient' ...

  • @drkitten7

    SHERLOCK HOLMES??? :O??? Wow!!! :D I love Jermy Barret :DDD

  • You mean Jeremy Brett?

  • @drkitten7

    Yeah ^^' -feels stupid-

  • I am an amateur. This music means so much to me and yet I have a completely untrained ear. I used to attend CSO concerts, alone if need be, find myself completely taken, and not really know who I was listening to e.g., Barenboiim conducting. But I have attended with trained musicians, a violinist or two, and they identify the same errors; they identify the same errors, as with Pearlman at Symphony Hall SF last year (winter '11), but with a smile and a seduced understatement: "but so wonderful."

  • @drkitten7 Just finished watching that on here and when it finishes it suggests this...Clever Clever youtube!! :D

  • PERFEITOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!

  • my favorite movement of the whole concerto, 3:05 is the most moving part......

  • ho my GOD!!!!!!!!!! HIGHT LEVEL verry verry nice

  • This might just be one of the best songs ever written played by one of the best musicians of all time. Pure bliss throughout this entire concerto.

  • @PositiveHalo

    uhmm... songs?

  • do you have all of the movements in this high of quality?

  • maravilhosoooooooooo!!!!! agusa nosso intelequito o vilino e o fino do concerto maravilhosoooooooooooooo 

  • lol 7:30 woooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!1

  • top job!!

  • What a wonderful performance, full of passion, feeling and fire!

  • Let me screw everybody's nice fuzzy feeling of perfecting by pointing the annoying quarter tone slide he does at 1:07.

  • @halneufmille haha i just noticed that!

  • @halneufmille dka;lkjwekj lkwjg qoaoksdjf aokj slksijsisisj keklelosodf ed gfeg 

  • @halneufmille It's always easy to watch & find fault, it's not so easy to do it. Kind of like a sports fan.

  • @Johnnie23457 Totally. I play violin myself and I wouldn't even dare comparing my intonation to that of Perlman. My comment was actually more of a derision of people who do just that, finding tiny defects in everything..

    I've realized that sometimes, when I love a music video, I make the grave mistake of reading comments. Then some jerk finds some minor defect about it and it literally destroys my listening experience forever afterwards.

  • Where are the second and first movements?

  • Como siempre Perlman ¡¡¡Esplendente!!!

  • who the hell would dislike this-.-

  • I love his facial expressions, it makes me feel better about mine. :D

  • xDDDDDDDDDDDD his face at 3:30-3:40 xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

    anyway, a great performance of the best violin concerto of the history of music!

  • His face, at 3:39, priceless.

  • Hi Rideg62,

    I am a short film maker. I loved the piece (Beethoven's Violin Concerto played by Itzak) that you have uploaded. I want to use a small piece (30 sec) for my short film which about an old Violinist. Its a no budget film and I was wondering how what are the Copyright nuances about this particular recording. Don't know if you would be able to help...but if you can please share your insight.

    Thanks

  • I´m not an expert in music...problem note in 2:21??

  • @rubkas what problem note?

  • @MrViolinGuy I repeat I´m not a expert but in 2:22 I think the note is not sound perfect. Am I wrong?

  • @rubkas His bow may have caught something on the string. Either that or he didnt come down with enough pressure. You're right though, the note wasn't 100%.

  • Realy!

  • I'm 72 years old, but I love this music and it's better than anything composed by my generation.

  • damn how does his big fingers get the right notes on that small violin

  • splendid

  • Where is this being played? Like to visit sometime.

  • @thewall1179 this is in the Schauspielhaus (Konzerthaus) in Berlin

  • 9:17 this guy is good

  • I think it's obvious : I.Perlman is the HANDMAN of the orchestra; his eyes could kill anyone who is wrong, or problematic on stage or in the crowd !

  • WOW! Don't you just love Beethoven? He never disappoints. The only way it could have better if it had been Perlman and von Karajan.

  • 3:37-3:38 sounds like Fur Elise...

  • 3:00 - 4:13 my favorite part !
