[Wildflowertap1]

god amazing!!



[outoftunefiddler]

Awlombana, it appears, is a Phillestine

[outoftunefiddler]

Awlambaba surely is from the planet K lingon..P erlman, you schmuck, is WONDERFUL

[iavaaranda]

woooooooooooooow i love him!!!!

[awlombana]

@iavaaranda In my opinion, not only he salivates and cries like a full-blown stupid clown while he plays with his "fiddle", but he dances like "Fred Astaire" when he off stage...

[ErickMRodriguez]

Like Steve Jobs always said: It's Amazing!

[tmh2939]

He's definitely in the zone.

[haiz369]

damn he's bouncing the bow as fast as i can bounce a basket ball and he looks sooooo relaxed

[WandaRibeiro]

All I can say is that Mr.Perlman is the best. I love him.

[leonpardo7676]

lo mejor que e escuchado en mi vida...

[swathimuralee]

The speech by Mr.Perlman in the last is really touching. It will bring tears in the eyes of people who loves this virtuoso artiste.

[BlueWizardViolinist]

Thumbs up if you watched other videos and think that these are the same exact 16 people who just went around disliking these classical music videos.

[winzip2341]

El perfecto ejecutante

[MrTreylynch]

Hey I practice for 3 hours a day and have played for 11 years and I am not this amazing! People are born with a gift for music! It attracts them... Pulls them in!!!

[m213m2]

@MrTreylynch there are many types of prac. blind practice, passionate practice, forced practice, etc. which category are u in? :D

[Jeremyamoto]

Man, the Soil Strad is such an incredible instrument. I love that pop sounds it makes under every bow stroke. It's just there at every moment, responding instantly to whatever Perlman want's to get out of it. What a great partnership.

[hbertolinih]

Extrodinary , fabulous! B"H what a talent!

[lanarv]

yakovsmirnov55!

..PLEASE delete comments with DIRTY language content

..like some DJNotNais's ..etc.. on here

WHAT A DISGRACE !

[FuglyFatt]

How many mistakes does this guy make a year? Maybe none. Flawless, live, every time with this guy.  Nasty. His Mendelssohn, nasty. Nobody I've watched on youtube so far is better.

[jack24showrocks]

15 people had a frontal lobotomy

[canceralexander]

awesome!! perfect

[1ncaravag]

when he finished the piece, i could just imagine him thinking "YES!!!" haha

[WaterLikey]

the ultimate dynamic peace

[WaterLikey]

gorgeous

[Liliana2108]

¡¡¡INCREÍBLE!!! ¡¡¡MARAVILLOSO!!!

[Baconisdelicous]

Lol, here's what i do:

Come here, listen.....

Then click on Beethoven Violin Concerto Mov #3, listen......

From there, click on Mendelssohn Finale, listen.......

From there, click on Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate, listen......

And finally, click on Bazzini- Perlman, and listen..................

[HKTerry2005]

@Baconisdelicous

Exact the same here lol

[hagonamatata]

This guy's expressions are so confusing lol. Amazing play though

[Milky111wtf]

Itzhak is Israeli and you can tell because the entire Israel Philharmonic look like his clones, including Zubin Mehta.

[outoftunefiddler]

@Milky111wtf ...and what are you?A clone expert hiding in the wings? Yo can't even move yer fingers non a violin neck....))

[marcos40024]

wfvdsvV

[marcos40024]

muito bem tocado

[lamatavai]

vurtuosismo puro!! qué regalo!!

[dedyabrian]

It's "Ha Tikva"

[Mannugrela]

Uau!

_o_

[sAmfRancIs94]

what's the piece at the end when perlman was still talking?

[geetarxist]

awesome

[Alvinacid]

I bet he could do a hextuple-stop even though there's only four strings. Plus, he's wiggling his other fingers to make it look like he's using them all, but really he used just his index to play! Perlman doesn't afraid of anything.

[kazumaxayano1]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! ! ! !

[Dregoxx]

las cagoo

[Classicalseeker]

I love his vibrato. 

[hi123456789011]

I think the notes are kinda choppy

well, i cant say much, i can hardly play this

[thricesplice]

@hi123456789011

yea, that's the style

[mspe1960]

@hi123456789011

lol

[dogpaw814]

he does pizz with his pinky in the a chord in the beginning nice

[zozkKurd]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[M23jnba]

sounds like he put alot of rosin on that bow...... anyone agree?

[PP1969GR]

too too easy...:-D

[MrPongsatorn]

@PP1969GR Yeahhhhh LOL

[Duncdagger]

I like how this piece has a lot of interaction between solo violin and other instruments.

[tionoc]

Absolutely overwhelming, one of the greatest concerts with one of the most intense violinists in history. Pure feeling...

[saintmichael104]

I love how bouncy his spiccato is. Its like meatballs.

[reiberke3]

This performance is astounding! Perlman's tempo changes are so deliberate and commanding, he really keeps this movement on track

[supisto]

BHUHUHU CRYING LIKE CRAZY I want to become like him ;3;

[JeremyImp]

I love his facial expressions!

[hmallin48]

his eyes are closed for half  the song too!.....epic!

[aryanc77]

This is called a FINALE !!

[Flauterfiddle]

Youtube really is too slow for Perlman

[jtai1111]

you have no idea how difficult it is to get that type of clear and crisp yet uninterrupted sound with spitzaccato. This guys pretty insane.

[Mrbob031295]

Amazing sound and Intonation with confidence

[supisto]

A Wonder.

[Javier141145]

¡¡¡SUBLIME!!!

[bibinnne]

0:38 looks like Franc Dubosc XD Love it :)

[neutrontb]

o melhor do mundo... Gênio

[MrJapaneseboy1111]

perlman nm 1 in all times !

[zerblis]

The standard by which all others are judged.

[TiagoHikaru]

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[salvavillani]

Che meraviglia ascoltare il Maestro Perlman.Oltre ringraziare lui,voglio ringraziare anche Dio per avermi dato questa possibilità.

Milla grazie!! Salvatore Villani-Firenze

[Elisaphat]

It always makes me laugh a little to watch him play. He plays these ridiculously difficult pieces with such ease. ( :

[avranasa]

the lord of spiccato 

[bluexmoonxmusic]

OUCH!! his spiccato was so short and sharp, it cut!!! XD damn he's good!!

[Sylvain894]

There's always a crowd at his concerts; he has a school; he went to Juilliard and he traveled around the world, and he's always been respected ! But i think they leave him after ! What a sad story !

[doriantaylor66]

lame i can do better :P

[freakshack111]

@doriantaylor66 This made me giggle, thank you, haha. :)

[eldelsombrerillo60]

Afinación... perfecta

[omerahr]

Superb!!!!! Wonderful!! Amazing!!!

[Sylvain894]

In metal guitar very loud , he would be something ! Fiou !

[alionza13]

POR FAVOR SIGUE PUBLICANDO MAS VIDEOS DE ITZHAK PERLMAN

[Liebetraurig]

I am always wondering, the first violinist is the only one in the orchestra who doesn't look at the score in front of him, how could he memorize the whole of such long piece of music?

[MikiRei]

@Liebetraurig Are you talking about Perlman? He's not the first violinist - he's the SOLOIST.

Big difference. First violinist usually do look at the music so they don't get lost.

As for soloist, it's not that hard to memorise actually. You just keep practicing & it's usually engraved into ur brain before you know it. Either that, or you just memorise phrase by phrase. As someone said - practice, practice, practice! :p

[Liebetraurig]

@MikiRei Thank you very much! I really don't know difference between them before......yes you are right. they do practice a lot.....

[RBLVK]

@MikiRei Tell the truth! ;)

[ChrYou3]

How talented !

[wezzlle]

The secret to being this good on any instrument, as anyone virtuoso will tell you..practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice, and that alone is no gaurantee to greatness.

It takes 2500 hrs ( @ 7 hrs/day for 1 year) to be good and then another 5000 hrs to be trully impressive on an instrument, but true greatness doesnt just come from hard practice, but it sure is a great start !

[soccerhooliganite]

@wezzlle I wish it was only that. Way more than that.

[danielloowk]

@wezzlle Professional violinists don't practice more than 5 hours a day - any more than that does not help

[zackattack699]

@danielloowk i've even heard that 3-4 hours is max

[brynbushey]

@wezzlle Oh, is that the standard now wezzlle? No more, no less? I think that any 'virtuoso' out there would laugh in your face if you told them that.

[PaRrOtReScUeWoTr]

@wezzlle Don't forget the main principal of violin practice. Practice DOES NOT make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect. Basically meaning if you practice wrong you will not get better.

[Baconisdelicous]

@wezzlle So in order to be truly impressive on an instrument u need to only have 3 hours of sleep and not eat or sleep?

[0unhallowed0]

@wezzlle you forgot sell your soul to satan...

[McSplat]

@wezzlle not sure where you get your numbers, but 10,000 hours is what it takes to be an expert

[Baconisdelicous]

@McSplat no time to eat, sleep, poop, pee, and no free time??? O.O

and Perlman has interviews that take up some of that time..........

[zacharyrod1st]

@McSplat I doubt there's a specific number of hours assigned to becoming an expert. Practice is one of those subjective things that, combined with born talent, makes you an expert. Itzhak was playing better in his first four years than most violinist I know playing for twice as long.

[McSplat]

Well you're wrong, google Malcolm Gladwell and the 10,000 hour rule.

[zacharyrod1st]

@McSplat I just did. He said it was an estimate. Some experts in their field did over, while others did under. Also, no one stood by these people with a timer and measured every second. Anyone with common sense would know that his "10,000" hrs rule shouldn't be taken literally. Of course, there's you. Fail.

[procarpenter1788]

@wezzlle You are correct, but that practice has to be intelligent, productive practice, not just mindlessly sawing away (something I have been guilty of!).

[jerryfaganmusic]

@wezzlle This was the most wonderful thing I were heard!!

[mmenchu]

@wezzlle How and what you practice is much more important than the amount of hours you log. A 100 hours on Schradieck will yield very different results to those from 100 hours on Flesch.

[haiz369]

@mmenchu so which is bttr schradieck or flesch?

[Svetsarkirurgen]

IT must be great being this good at an instrument. What freedom. Complete freedom.

[maxhansendk]

Superhuman performance! Should not be possible really - to play like this ;-)

He seems to enjoy it too!

The violin is a very tricky instrument to master. Normal players need about 80 years to learn the basics;-) Then they can begin to study the music they want to perform on their violin.

[r9m3]

Magistral !!!!

[yoshizawaeri]

fantastic

[therealshimshady]

i DONT understand how he can cover all the small intervals with fingers that big.

[vengerov26]

The top of his career...He fucked up all de rusians:)))

[monroewashere]

This guy maks me want to go practice...

[fenderguitarplaya11]

@monroewashere good for you! most people say this makes them give up but its good that it inspires some people to play.

[shisaida]

@monroewashere  me also!

[albutko]

can you imagine the memory he has?

[Svetsarkirurgen]

@albutko When you're that good it's not about memory. For him it's like breathing. It's nothing you have to remember how to do. You just do it.

[AnkahR]

@Svetsarkirurgen that's so true...

[RaSKaWeBoS]

me registro para comentar ESTE video. Ese tio, es ...... dificil de explicar, un fenómeno asi del violin a mi me produce una satisfacción ver la forma que tiene de tocar, ese hombre de ahi no tengo palabras que definan esa forma y ese estilo de tocar..... "es DIOS?" jeje joder!..............que pedazo violinista, ¡¡es mi idolo!! de verdad ^^

[caltendog]

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

[fenderguitarplaya11]

Whose Concerto is this?

[erromorry]

I just shit myself.

this guy is so good.

[PowerofTrueInsight]

The best part lasts 4:15-5:00, yet only a glimpse into the profundity of Perlman's musicianship.

[emilyhetrick]

Fantastic!

[gelu1001]

13 ppl are deaf

[katiekatlovesu]

He's always smiling, I love him. If only he was my grandfather. Then he can teach me :( I also like the way he holds the bow.

[katiekatlovesu]

He's always smiling, I love him. If only he was my grandfather. Then he can teach me :(

[vlnlover]

love it.

[Aresholewins]

he makes it all look easy....

[156769]

if there was any such thing as a red violin it would be this one!

[siminadora]

c'est merveilleux .....

[mattxr2i]

Perlman is just amazing! Love this piece too. I'm a bit more partial to the first movement. But this one surely does not lack excitement! :-)

[BarrybritpopfreekS]

without sheet music... the guy must have a memory like an elephant.

[iamemod]

perlman, you can have my legs.



[Balancement]

Nothing quite like heavenly music played by the Seraphim.

[BeyondxDescription]

this man was accidentally born as a human. He was actually supposed to be a violin. Lucky for us! He's too amazing for MTV.

[gnatural]

Perlman is saying a lot just by sitting down and playing like this. you don't have to move like a clown to make the music exciting and for people think you are somehow more connected to it. the music itself is exciting!

[TheDoah]

He's the chuck norris of violin

[mattxr2i]

@TheDoah Hell yeah!

[falconfira]

11 people mis-clicked.

[TheKazdog]

Its now twelve...

[dekulewan]

4:20

He plays it with his freaking eyes closed!

[theportalofhealing]

@dekulewan I can see, it is almost scary what he can do!

[BeyondxDescription]

@dekulewan That's him in the act of giving his soul to his music. :D

[TheNeighborhoodKids9]

(jaw drops)

[RoyalTruman]

Sure, he's a genius. But he also seems like such a likable fellow.

[PonyFilms]

wooooooww..................

[111yodog]

he sits because he has Polio

he cant stand

[fabiolcezma]

4 me he is the best for the moment but vengerov is good 2 my favorite players 4 the moment incredible wish i was as half of them

[yuming97]

@Kleobleeciyia lol hes disabled...

[miguale]

Joyeux et magistralement joué... Immense bravo.

[jonnyfitz6618]

wow

[ivanatwork1]

Speachless.

[osldavide]

Please, somebody could tell me the cd where can I find the ZUBIN MEHTA's version of the wonderful Israel's anthem? Or maybe, someone have that cd or a mp3 audio file? Thank you!

[sealvr77]

Perlman shows his mastership of the Violin in this video... I smiled the whole time... I couldn't believe he would drop his arm and wait to strike the strings with such force knowing that he wouldn't make a mistake ... OPUS No. 35.. the MOST DIFFICULT and he made it seem easy!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!!!BRAVO!!!!

[DualThunder]

what is the piece that perlman is referring to at the end?

[Watchenlisten]

@DualThunder,

Israel's national anthem 'Hatikva'

Cheers :-)

[fabiolcezma]

No words to describe it lets jsut say incredible amazing

[pilotwannabe235]

Wow! just... wow. He is incredible!!!

[IMHoyos]

Is this the concerto where he loses a string?

I don't get the moment, and I'd like to analyze it, could someone please tell me?

[moti4love]

There are no words.

Just great. Amazing. Incredible! Etc..

[Franzapooch44]

YIKES! This is just truely amazing. I'm stunned

[TwelfthRoot2]

I love the fullness with which Perlman plays. His interviews are also very entertaining.

[fishpig20]

lmfao i love the faces he pulls while his playing, its like vengerov haha

[enestredenes]

müthiş...

[1234sisko]

I can identify with perlman. I play the violin and I have a size 15 ring finger. Have been told I play well but of course there is playing well but perlman in GREAT.

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Perlman is the real Fiddler on the Roof. He conquered the Russians on this one.

[EditorialResponse]

@fishhead06, I have you a thumbs up, but it is not work to him. He has been given the opportunity to fully express his genius, he lives like a king, and he is happy.

[fishhead06]

There's a guy who loves his job.

[EditorialResponse]

@fishhead06, all have genius, few have opportunity.

[111yodog]

@fishhead06 ok

[hrhsam]

A tremendous spiccato.

[cmmnsense]

SO AMAZING!!!! I get chills every time.

[bramVE239]

AAAAH! his face is just AWESOME!!!

[HighLordCarlisle]

@bramVE239 I would make a "I want to poop D:" face too if I had to play the violin like that. Amazing performance by the way!

I just love to hear violins in Allegro Vivacissimo :3

[rapujah1]

Perlman's hands are massive in both breadth and length. The width of his three fingers equals four for everyone else. So, no, teachers who tell students to have all their fingers on the bow are neither crackpots or stuck up, just better informed about how to play if you have average to small hands.

[funnygrudge]

True. He can stretch a tenth on a cello.
