Pinchas Zukerman: Four Seasons Summer I. Allegro con molto

[Sylvain894]

I am one of yours, people; i'm a Jew, please accept me. And i know how to play !

[chopinzone]

ya veo de donde saca yani sus mamadas >.<

[Chichiri520]

GASP..this is awesome!

[Oistrakhfollower]

Zukerman is not just the "best" violinist, but also he is the most "interesting" violinist and violist...

[winrx]

This is just dreadful vulgar playing - I guess there will be some who appreciate his macho hacking away at the fiddle...

[jsalvattoo]

@winrx You are a fool for merely suggesting such an opinion, Pinchas Zuckerman happens to be an accomplished and succesful violinist, while you most likely have failed and jealousy rides within you.

[MrFpam]

@winrx What an extraordinarily negative comment. He is unusually serious and involved here. I am sure Vivaldi would have been impressed. The piece requires quite a deal of virtuosity but Zukerman is quite restrained here.

He is a fine (and very talented) violinist!



[DirtyDonno]

c'etait magnifique.

[macmusikpro]

Love this one , thanks for posting. But correct me if I am wrong, was he getting faster at the beginning? Am not criticizing the great Zukerman , just wondering.

[Srouble]

I had tickets, But I traded them for the concerts in February and March, I think I'm going to see "The amazing Ehnes"

[gatt543]

I want to know whether Perlman , Zukerman , Stern, and Mintz palyed at the same concert.

If it is,that's really amazing!

[gatt543]

@73mighelon Wow...If I had been born then...I would have gone to that concert!!!!!

[awesomejo2]

His trills are amazing!

[designandsketch]

proud to be in the same city with him.

ottawa

[Srouble]

Did you go see him and Amanda?

[designandsketch]

@Srouble i really wanted but im student and couldnt afford it..

[Srouble]

I'm a student too. You should look into their live rush program, You can get tickets the the NAC for 11 dollars CAD, when you register for a student live rush card. The only catch is that tickets are kinda scarce because you can only buy them after 10:00 AM the day before the performance, but I've gotten a few inexpensive tickets, I'm going on Thursday to see Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto! a master piece! maybe just stop by the box office thats where I got my card.

[designandsketch]

nordic sibelius. nicola bendetti. I am definitely going. I found for $25 but hoping to find something cheaper. ill drop by tomorrow to get the student rush card.. i cant miss this time!! are you going??

[Srouble]

I'm going on Friday night with my friend. Pinchas is conducting! Nicola is AMAZING!

[designandsketch]

hey I went today with my friend. it was an incredible moment. i loved every second of it. feel refreshed!

btw she was amazing. so fast and accurate. not good on the neck tho..

[Srouble]

I noticed that too, It looked like her shoulder and neck were really sore, Pinchas conducted really well too, I heard hes never conducted that piece before. I was very pleased with it.

[designandsketch]

Pinchas was really good. I loved the first movement of Haydn104. he was very inspirational..

[Srouble]

I like the faure suite, I wasnt interested to see the symphony, I was really only there to see Nicola Bennediti though.

[designandsketch]

@Srouble hi. are you going to schubert 9 tonight? Im planning to go tomorrow. i think the conductor is a good one.. right now listening the piece on youtube. pretty good!

[12345vzplvhvg]

does anyone know the recording of "il giardino armonico ?" I don't think so.

[stronzinetto]

i know...it is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! i have cd and i think it's just "fairless",rarely music interpretation go so far in keeping the nature sounds!!

[Bautisnemo]

I do

[DHcello]

Zukerman is favors on vivaldi"the four seasons"

[BrokenFrench]

I love Zukerman!

[flostinparadise]

I love this Guy. Especially when He and Itzhak Perlman get together. I always need to have a hanky closeby. I cant stop the tears. When I listen to Pinchas and Itzhak, I know that there is a God.

[rapter9800]

Beautiful!

[flostinparadise]

I cant tell if that was a Strad, but it is ecstacy. Zubin is also incredible.

[aznfiddler]

1742 "Duskin" Guarneri del gesu. It's the instrument he's been playing since the early 80's maybe even in the 70's.

[flostinparadise]

Wonderful Instrument. Wonderful Musician.

[KezWasHere]

Um. Are there only men in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra?

[albertbauli]

no, if you look carefully there are some weman

[GoldenAwakening]

Vivaldi puts all the squeeky violins of the Romantic era to shame, I'm afraid to say. He captured the true beauty of the baroque without all the added pomp from harpsichords and trumpets.

[xmrbigglesworthx]

this is awesome.

[kyleclef]

its annoying: why doesn't he play when his orchestra are playing?

[mr00aznkid]

true

[carlfirth]

Heaven!

[smenjare]

excellent, but i thougth master zukerman was a violist, thats really interesting, and a love his performing on the violin also

[udm77]

he is actually a violinist , but he often perform with viola i think;

[frederickgauss]

@smenjare A violist that's play the violin better than all violinist

[MrFpam]

@frederickgauss He is a violinist who plays viola. It very rarely happens the other way round (almost never).

[MrFpam]

@smenjare The other way round! He is a violinist who occasionally plays the viola, like many others, Kennedy, OIstrakh, Menuhin, Suk, etc.

[FULLOOKKK]

This is life!!

[pbivan]

I like it...thanks for sharing this video
