Tchaikovsky - violin concerto - Allegro moderato part II

[leo0t]

I truly have constant mini heart attacks every time I see this video.

[gregbboy619]

I don't like jew people but I love Itzhak ! : )

[667jaymz]

@gregbboy619 Horrible, stupid, pointless

[mojopum]

@gregbboy619 why don't u like Jewsih people?

[gregbboy619]

@mojopum Why should I like them, just because they're rich? lol

Actually I know plenty of jewish people and I have some jewish friends, but I dont find familiar the fact that some of these people are superattached to objects and "material world".

Anyway, as I said, I have jewish friends but I don't really like their universe. : )

[mojopum]

@gregbboy619 Ok:) I know some nice ones too but they are always calculating, even when they do something nice for you they expect something in return. They can sell you something at an incredible high price and take you to a dinner which costs less...hahahaa

[gregbboy619]

@mojopum Haha yes, I understand and I agree: they're always calculating!

[Berniedoc]

Best version of this concert!!!

Thank you Mr. P

[kwhan1972]

Superb!

[Radamathill]

I truly think this is the best piece ever composed.

[nagikoyo]

i love this! Tears in my eyes every time I hear this

[darkgarb555]

I wish I had seen this live

[rotamina]

Thanks Mr Perlman, this seems miraculous to me. The technical never swamps the musical. You really got it going there. Beautifully played by the orchestra too of course.

[MSTheBeginner]

Thank Mr Perlman I love him please don't miss from 8:42 to end of this video



[fuzzbonoid]

 Practically Didn't breathe from 0:40 to 3:38

[24DJF]

Perlman: making all other violinists think that a cadenza is easy to play.

[ElenaPasalacqua]

I fell in love with this.

[IMB2U]

He should have SMASHED his violin after this performance, like a goddamn rockstar!

[hobbitg3]

@IMB2U people who do that are stupid and btw itzhak perlman is not a rockstar, its much more than that. and violins are much more expensive than guitars, and more the violins that professional musicians use.

[IMB2U]

@hobbitg3 PLEASE develop a sense of humour.

[ITSOVER9000notes]

@IMB2U lol, slam.

[jjyi101]

So I thought I had a lot of inspiration for this piece before...now its skyrocketed...

[TheAdriennehale]

10 people don't have taste in music

[clarinervium]

DUUH.. IT'S PERLMAN!! WHO else can play better than him..... :-)

[theviolinist]

i think my speakers are sizzling now because of how amazing this is.

[Obreki]

I remember being a 15-year-old and this piece bringing tears to my eyes. I really started enjoying music from then on.

[heybuddyheybuddy]

@Obreki This piece really got me into classical music. I'm 15 and this is probably my favourite piece of music, from everything i've ever heard. It does, as you say, bring tears to the eyes. just inspiring.

[dihang94]

@heybuddyheybuddy

listen to dvorak's new world symphony 1st movement all the way to the last. you'll probably break down after it lol

[Anxuela]

Favourite part II, then part I. Once you've donde this, play all favourites and you'll listen to the whole piece with a very brief interruption between both parts ;)

[Cationification]

What year was this performed in?

[maudetorterat]

he is possessed. the best performance for this hard piece of tchaicovsky. one word : AMAZING

[rambunctious9]

Thumbs up if you couldn't comment cuz the monitor broke listening to this piece before you could

[anon4122]

I love how he's smiling the whole time while playing such an exceptionally hard piece

[GWiifanboy]

Amazing!

[Yvette60]

wow, beautiful !

[amorcaroline]

brilliant.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

That was really beautiful. I actually got sad when they got near the end! I really love how the violinist plays with so much passion. Not to disrespect any classical musician because they all work very hard to make it in that genre, but some of them play with very little feeling. They're technically perfect, but they're not emotionally moving enough, IMO. I can't really enjoy the music if it doesn't move me. And I'm not proclaiming myself to be an expert on anything, this is all just my opinion.

[Vlaanderson]

I just hit thumbs down to annoy some people.

In fact that performance was just priceless!

[xbasket12x]

@Vlaanderson Better thumb it back up

[mitcardesigner]

Perlman's facial expression at 3:33 "oh yeah baby you heard that??? beat that orchestra" 

[jonjonz91]

@mitcardesigner correct me if im wrong, but the flautist did look slightly pissed when he came in right after the trill. xD

[itsyrc2]

Wow! this guy is amazing

[fuzzymcchimp]

There are ~1Mil more views for part I than for part II, implying that almost a million views are for only half of the concerto...how could you do that?! The ending its a cream dream.

[xbasket12x]

@fuzzymcchimp More like non-stop ejaculation during the performance. :)

[scrooge711]

i fall in love with this one after i watched the movie "Le concert"

[pt2202234]

what's wrong with that 10 people?

[jay1jayf]

@casey41123 +1 of ignorance

[jay1jayf]

@casey41123 you said something about rap music...... dumbing people down.....

[LineSkiier21]

@jay1jayf watch?v=q1Et1siZhTk&ob=av3el good rap that won't dumb anything down

[salvavillani]

Solo gli Angeli suonano così e Perlman è un Angelo-Salvatore Villani Firenze

[alionza13]

LO MÁXIMO PERLMAN

[Maximus9867]

ok how the hell can there be dislikes in this vid....cmon its Perlman

This is true music...I could hear this all day ;)

[bertywac]

perfection

[dozemix]

It looks so natural to him. God bless the person who gave him a violin, he seems so happy doing it, and some of that feeling gets to us in his music.

[arqgdanda]

Pease don't leave Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra out of this =Perfect recognition.

This performance has been rated worldwide as the perfect example of how this concert should be played. God was present at the concert hall that evening and it shows!!!

Thank you all of you who can recognize what music is, as opossed to simple noise. Sorry, I don't mean to insult those who can't appreciate excellence in music, I only pity them because they haven't been exposed to it.

[PowerofTrueInsight]

@arqgdanda I understand what you mean when you evoke God's presence. Perfect can be only the divine, right? But this amazing performance, like many others, comes from a living man who has devoted his whole life practicing and performing, not so much to "perfect" anything as to expressing and sharing, from his deep inner self, true human feelings embedded in real earthly life. In other words, perfect or not Perlman enables us to sense beauty through music that is, first of all, human and earthly.

[Seanze329]

@arqgdanda How were not existent things existing there!?

[MrMusicdruggie]

someone had an orgasm at 2:04 because they couldn't bear the awesomeness of tchaikovsky + perlman

[enpointe64]

Gil Shaham is king!

[musicandminastirith]

6:13- 6:43 too beautiful

[33winterbirds]

Did I say this is one of my all time favorites. The music takes you into realms you cannot explain. Exquisitly beautiful and exciting.

[33winterbirds]

Thank you for posting this in it's entireity. Tchaikovsky was a genius and Perlman is also a genius. He never even broke a sweat and looked like he was enjoying every moment of this incredibly difficult piece.

[zachcjones]

at 2:05 is that cello plucking?

[blaboo10]

lol during the cadenza the concertmaster is like WHY I CANT I BE LIKE HIM  T_T

[noodledoodlezoo]

omg i just love this. i can't even explain how this makes me feel. the passion and beauty is unbearable.

[bckm54]

When this concerto came out, one of the critics said something like "this stinks to the ear." Nuts to him...

[TREVAAA1234]

This is absolutely gorgeous.

[gshgewry]

Diossssss.

[SaiGrg]

so amazing . .. the hands looks like a spider dancing on a violin... sooo gr888888

[DaEmkUbb]

Happy birthday, Piotr!

[Laergoth]

I love it

[perniflusse]

more king lol god of violon

[amos1814]

Fuck you 8:23

[iLessThan3Jesus]

@amos1814

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Malegnius]

3:32 - 3:49. Possibly one of my favorite parts from the entire concerto.

[Amurpo]

pieces like these make me love classical music

[King9Dante]

His sound is 100% pure and clean, and his technique is immaculate. Definitely my favorite violinist of all time.

[Wheatley1380]

2:00- 2:20. Not in the Heifetz/Auer version and sounds odd to me. Heifetz is correct to edit it out.

[travonprince]

@Wheatley1380 The part that you are talking about is in the sheet music for this concerto. Perlman didn't make his own part of the cadenza.

[Wheatley1380]

orchestra a bit too loud at the end.

[Bobbyo60]

@Wheatley1380 My, you're quite the little critic aren't you?? Could you point me to your video showing us poor folk how it's done??

[solidysnake1]

perlman is so amazing with the violin

[xdrfvgyhn64]

who's the best, Itzhak Perlman or Maxim Vengerov?

[TheBanaman]

Itzhak, by MILES!!!!!!!!!!

[gibsonpaddy]

Heifetz but Perlman 2nd

[Wheatley1380]

@xdrfvgyhn64 Ann Fontanella. No one else can effortlessly and cleanly blast through virtuoso pieces like her.

[lanarv]

@xdrfvgyhn64

Still waiting for the answer ?!

Visit my channel ..and you will get it !!!..:-)))

[shinodaluk]

Perfect... best performance ever!

[gibsonpaddy]

Perfect...

[ldc53ldc]

the theme of this piece is to die for

[clarion106]

Tchaikovsky = Perfect

Perlman = Perfect

Tchaicovsky x Perlman = Insane, Unimaginable, out of this world, JUST AmAzInG

(computer breaks because of the extreme result)

[chanchomonocaca]

@clarion106 lol!!!!! so true!! my brain alredy explote!!!! can u imagine my computer!?

[ShakerLouie]

@clarion106 LOL

[MinisterAilingTongue]

@clarion106 Let me check your "emotional arithmetic" Hmm, looks good, at least from the emotional geometry.

Intellectual/Emotional Satisfaction = Perlman^2*exp(2*Tchaikovsky^2)

Integrating this twice with respect to Perlman and then with respect to Tchaikovsky (I've obviously chosen the musical coordinate system for this problem), from an initial Awesome to a final (Infinitely Joyful) for P, and from an initial Staggering to final (Perlman + Musical Genius) for T. The result is the same!!!

[dcco76]

@clarion106

Recording quality = mediocre

Tchaik x Perlman x Recording quality = Awesome!

[jonjonz91]

@clarion106 you mean, the world implodes? =)

[goldberg72]

@clarion106 very romantic, oistrk e' molto piu strong, but also is very nice

[Churruminonian]

@clarion106 tchaikovsky was gay

[Baconisdelicous]

@Churruminonian, so do u not like Tchaikovsky or just like stating random facts about people? Because Tchaikovsky was literally a homosexual in real life. Like, seriously, he was.

[gnimez]

why are there clapping between movements?

[giebelinski]

because it's tchaikovsky.

try seeing a live performance of this calibre and NOT exploding with applause after this beast of a movement.

if the violinist has done well, a standing O is certainly deserved.

[moimeme41]

Pour moi le meilleur violoniste au monde !

[Viennavoir]

Actually, Heifetz did not change any of the notes in this concerto. Those changes were made by Leopold Auer, his teacher. His edition is one of three famous scores of this piece. This augmentation is in no way changing the piece, just adding Leopold Auer's flair to it. Additionally this concerto is usually regarded as Heifetz's great interpretations of classical music. Heifetz certainly understood it, he just plays it a different way.

[Strad615]

The violinist at the beginning has a strad!!!

[vaynard091]

i always watch his video, and he always smiles as if the piece he was playing is just piece a cake, man his good, but i want him to play more powerful

[vaynard091]

my god i thought her wife is a homo so thats y he almost committed suicide i ges i misread it, thnx for the info

[gotenkes]

It's unfair how effortlessly he plays this piece...

[omegachen]

It's not unfair. It's called years of hard work and dedication.

[gotenkes]

Even with hard work and dedication, not everyone can play this song on the same level. Virtuoso talent + hard work + dedication.

[omegachen]

Read the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Put in 10,000 hours of hard practice, and you can play at Perlman's level.

[ashleysenevirathne]

I doubt it...

:)

[TheBanaman]

More like 100,000 hours

[randomstuff314]

unfair?

[Mickell1234]

PHEW!!! incredible, I liked that.

[allisonhughes711]

Perlman = poifect.

[lydiastyer]

3:33 the point in the cadenza where the flute comes in always gets to me for some reason and it's so cool to see him in the video look back at the flute at that moment as if to say "ok you can come in now".

[Vics01]

MAGISTRAL!!!

[enaj78]

Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

[lanarv]

PEARL-MAN !!!..I'll have a HEART ATTACK one day..

[patatra]

5:45 to cry

[silvinademadrugada]

I love you!

[jajteles]

King of the Violin

[sijas]

@jajteles more like the prince of Violin.

Oistrakh is the true King!

[beethomozart]

the most beautiful violin concerto after Mendelssohn's and Beethoven's, Tchaicowsky is one of the top 5 composers in history to my opinion, the other 4: Beethoven, Mozart,Haendel and Verdi(The next 5: Schubert, Mendelsohn, Bach, Liszt and Haydn)

[catnip4life55]

I'm stunned that he is not only amazing but feeling the passion for the music almost as if Tchaikovsky himself was playing it.

[MaligantWorm]

just look at the passion emitting from his soul...it's as if he's making love to that violin. Honestly, his passion for the music is stunning.

[pangitbaboy]

Tchaikovsky definately died before his time wonderfull no words to explain

[Dafnuchka]

Both the violinest and the piece are Amaizing.Itzhak Perlman really knows what hes doing.

[sebaselpibedela5]

Es increible la manera en que componia tchaikovsky; este concierto es una obra de arte.

Ademas cuenta con(para mi....uno de los mejores musicos que pude llegar a ver con mis propios ojos) Ithzak Perlman.Lo interpreta con tanta naturalidad que asusta.

Me encanta esta pieza.

[Drummerking101]

This piece was considered to be unplayable at the time it was written, which makes this performance of intense beauty and perfection amazing.....wow.

[RedhairedSpirit]

Leopold Auer was a pussy :P

[manfred861]

ha yeah he was! "From this [my] purely aesthetic position only I found some of it impracticable, and for this reason I re-edited the solo part."

[RedhairedSpirit]

Haha exactly!

[tetevo]

One of the most innovating parts of the music, I´v really never heard anything like that in my life!

9:01 - 9:14

The quality here in youtube is awful, but try listening to that part on a cd, it´s from another world

[setthenighttomusic]

Really great, awesome music all time...Eternally...

[supersammie89]

it amazes me - every single time - how a human being who used to walk on the same planet as I can invent music so profound and moving

[JohyeahM]

I'm a dj. I can't play any instruments. I play Jazz/Funk/Soul based dance music that some people like but most don't really get. But when i hear this piece it gives me goosebumps so huge it hurts. It hurts inside and out. Crying when i hear just doesn't seem to do it justice. And i cry everytime...

[Orkaney]

I've listened to Afsal Szalai, Itzak Perlman, David Oistrakh, Akiko Suwanai, Anne-Sophie Mutter and several others, I never get tired of listening to this piece, the shear genius in Tchaikovsky's works astounds me every time. And not to forget the goosebumps.

It's funny listening to every variation, every note, spotting mistakes, finding how it adds to the piece, both in negative and positive sence.

[PeerlessWonder]

youtube you suck, your servers suck!

great video though and great piece!

[yousssarin]

Awesome

[Eccelz]

i have no words,.... only goose bumps and tears.. and i have heard this a LOT... nothing changes...

[lahijalahija]

I just can't stop watching it and crying...gosh, this is really precious!!!!

Thank you, thank you, and again, thank you dzidkonia and "Maestro" Perlman.

[lahijalahija]

Awesome!!!

Imponente!!

[LowBudProd]

grandios!!

[olormaderoso]

Hermoso

[jkbs123]

God has come from heaven.

[unitednerdsbeproud]

It's almost as if the violin is a part of him. It comes naturally and from the heart. It's amazing...

[TwistingWays]

That comes with no shoulder-rest :P

[Painkilaxx]

and by the way he does play a stratovarious here!

[vvwolfgangvv]

I second that :)

[abmuscle1]

i am not sure is me but i heard a slight out of tune (just one note) on the higher register at 7:17 in the second repeat cycle of the phrase, perhaps is just my hearing but of course i am no one to give such comment to a violine maestrao as Pearlman because he is really really great violinist !! one of my favourite ! cheers !

[Alphanur]

you idiot. intonation is relative in him

[ocramizz]

I wonder how you can say that his intonation is not good when maybe only a few chords are a very little out of tune, but all the rest is simple perfect.....

[Bobbyo60]

@blumedersahara Er, Isaac?? Are you speaking of Stern, or Itzhak Perlman??

[theantikikyo]

you sure its not the video's quality?

[blumedersahara]

yes i am...

[porkyfry]

lol, I suggest you remove your comment, unless making a complete IDIOT of yourself is your goal then by all means, leave it.

This man has a greater knowledge of what intonation is than any other musician of this era because: 1- He's a prodigy 2- He's a violinist. Meaning he doesn't press a key or valve. it's all muscle memory which in turn is guided by the ear for precision.
