The way he just pulls every ounce of color and sonority from that Strad is just ridiculous. There are so few artists capable of pushing an instrument to its limits like that.
personally, I prefer an emotional and subtle interpretation/execution. I personally like the first half of the piece played defiantly and I found Perlman's heavy and constant vibrato a bit superficial and cheesy.The second half demonstrates his skills, and I know, fast+accurate 'should'= good. If Perlman's performance is to showcase his skills, I give him 5/5. But if his performance is to evoke deep emotions and tell a story, then I prefer others' interpretations.
@JPLGaGa123 He's still got that gorgeous tone and phenomenal technique, but these past few years he sounds like he's on autopilot. The last recital I saw I could tell he was just going through the motions. He didn't come really alive till the end, when he was goofing around during the encores. I think maybe he needs to take some time off, cut back on his heavy touring schedule and just play the music he really wants to play and not what he feels he ought to play.
I start playing this with my new teacher next week. So excited. And bloody scared. I'm 19 and took a 4 year sabatical from violin coz my old teacher retired when I finished my Grade 8 at 15. Love this piece. Yet as I said before, scared. Especially because the last three minutes of the piece is very intimidating. But I love a good challenge :D

WAAAW !!! AMAZING evem more than amazing !! but i think he tripped in a note !! :P check 1:53 or maybe its in 1:54 :P thumbs up if u noticed it :P but still though !! amaaaazing !! :D
@Spangley03 well :/ i play this piece :) and im pretty sure that there are no harmonics in it !!! i dont know i u play the piece but if u do ... i meant when he goes to Do he does kinda a mistake which plays a different note then quckly comes back to the Do .... anyway i have nothing against perlman ... he's a great violinist .. and plays the piece 10036580061 tiems better than me ... im just a 14 years old kid who is trying to play it ... and listening who proffessionals do it ;) xD anyway thx
@VioliNaseem At the beginning, when you play the quarter notes, you can take liberty with the notes. The arpeggios that start with C, and go C>D>A, you can play the A as a harmonic as an added affect.
you know deaf people DO listen to classical music... they feel it with the vibration you know. Sometimes you can see deaf people in concert hall with their shoes off so that they can feel the sound with their feet.
so they aren't 20 deaf people, they're 20 jealous cellists :P
@cathechung We have 6 cello solo suites, a violin won't be able to produce an incredible woody, warm, welcoming sound like cello does. Violin it's great but man, nothing can reach the expressiveness of our deeps, our emotional highs.
@theamazingdoughnut I thought it was just fine having too much emotion would ruin this piece..... its always about having the right amount of it not too much.....
@ConquistadorAlfred it is practise. Around a year ago, i kept having squeaky sounds and all, and eventually without really noticing, those sounds go away. Play your pieces slow and eventually when you get familiar with it everything will come together :)
@superajlee Sry I don' t play the violin, but the clarinet and the piano... You can visit my channel and take a look at it ;) (Channel: 4vonwarschau ) ... but still I think it could be played a bit slower ;)

Perlman himself said in a masterclass that you will never play the same piece twice the same. Each performance is a new interpretation or variant interpretation. Flattening or sharpening a tone here and there and myriad other variations to a piece is caused by the emotion generated by a particular performance. There are thousands out that can play pieces technically right but will never stand out and will remain 2nd string. Music is human emotion put into sound, perfection isn't in exactness.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DERANGED HOBOS TALKING ABOUT? I just saw one of his concerts in Chicago recently and they said he is undoubtedly the reigning musician of today! Itzhak Perlman is my sole inspiration! I WILL NOT LET YOU TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THIS! His emotions and own interpretation are incorporated within everything he plays. He has Godly skill and technique! His intonation is horrifyingly amazing! I have yet to find something to criticize him with! SO BE QUIET!
Perlman is a violin maestro. His speed is perfect, intonation is almost perfect, almost everything is perfect but his intonation is kind of sharp/high. But his solo part is just simply AWESOME!
@kiduarhl What in the world are you talking about, his intonation is too high?? Come on! I have performed with Hilary H. Joshua B., Perlman, Midori, and all the rest. If you don't understand intonation by now, individualized, then really, you shouldn't be playing anymore. Intonation is a personal thing to a large degree, and believe me, if this was OUT OF TUNE, especially with piano accompaniment, we would know. There are glitches, as there are in any performance, but so it is for everyone.
Thank you so much for posting this up! And thank you, Mr. Perlman, for being what you are: an incredible violinist.
I've been working on this piece for several months and Perlman's interpretation and skill really gives me a sense of direction to how this piece should and CAN sound like.
Plays with great style & panache. If you fancy a trip down memory lane, check out Barenboim, Jackie Du Pre, Mehta, Perlman & "Pinky" Zukerman { all incredibly young}, playing Schubert's TROUT QUINTET. There are several tantalisingly short clips on U-Tube of them rehearsing, generally clowning around, and in performance. A wonderful insight into their youth and with the sad exception of Jackie, clues as to the talent they would later unleash upon the world for our benefit.
I personally love his interpretation. The andante isn't dragging, and the allegro is just thrilling to listen to! This is my favorite performance of this song. I hear it in my head when I go running.
IT IS A VERY FANTASTIC PERFORMACES!!!!!!maybe the first part is without a strong caracter that would the autor but with the second you're fascinating me!!!!!!!BRAVO
But who's that guy making noise in the background, with a piano I think?
I know this is Violin all the way here, but why leave out the name of the poor stooge? I'd bet he's some pro since he's playing with one of the top musicians in the world, still he doesn't deserve to come in the light. Sheesh...
if you tune all your strings perfectly note-wise using the most scientifically accurate equipment and then play a double stop on the open strings it will not sound right, a perfect fifth is to the ear of the listener like a piece of music depends on the listener not perfect intonation, do you listen out like this for contemporary songs?
Perfect Intonation is a lie. We are humans, not robots. No one should listen for, nor learn the vionlin to play everything perfectly in tune. It will ruin your musicality, along with your enjoyment of music. As Jai77 said, if you want to listen too lifeless technique, watch any other mediocre violinist who is really not musically ready for this piece.
The fact about Perlman (this happens with Oistrach too) is that you don't just admire but you also love him.You listen to them and you want to continue Fighting with the Biest.With Heifetz or Kogan you want to quit.Those qualities of being human and friendly are not so obvious to other top level virtuosos.
@apogram My point is Perlman is not even in the conversation when discussing great violinists like Kogan or Heifetz. He's simply not as good those guys. He's a very good violinist but not a great violinist.
@apogram I'm not saying he's not natural or not good. He's a good violinist, but there are many good violinists in the world. Some people get very annoyed at me when I point out how Perlman isn't the best of all time.
@andreasamati he maybe is not the best of all ages but he belongs to the greats.he is not just one of the many good violinists that exist almost everywhere.especially in '70s and 80s he was the hottest name.He was selling as a record product and a violin hero on stage.And he doesn't need my support and your comments are also without any real value.this debate has no meaning.Let us stop it here.You don't have to change your mind and let his admirers believe he is the best ever.
Unfortunately a vast majority of strongly disagree with you. Could someone of mediocre talent, as you describe him, have attained the fame and respect that he has achieved throughout the world? No. He is one of the greats, not because I say so, but because a majority of the world's musicians say so.
@porkyfry Can someone of mediocre talent attain fame in music? Yes. Itzhak Perlman isnt mediocre, he's quite good, but is he one of the greatest violinists of all time or one of the best violinists today? No. There are hundreds if not thousands of little kids in China and Russia to name a few places that could play better. He's not even one of the best Israeli violinists. There's a video of 13 year old Leila Josefowicz on Youtube, playing this piece with more precision than Perlman.
@andreasamati "Thousands of little kids in China and Russia..." Wow. Do us all a favor, go get educated, then come back here to have a discussion, rather than throw around a bunch of made up facts and your personal opinions. You've already taken up enough time and garnered enough attention on this video, so I will not be reading anything further from you.
@porkyfry Intonation is not personal opinion. You are certainly entitled to believe Perlman's advertising, it's a free world. This recording and others of Perlman are not in tune to the highest standards. He is advertised to be this great violinist in the league of Heifetz, Milstein, Menuhin which I find absolutely absurd. He is not even the greatest violinist from Israel. Ever hear of a man named Yuval Yaron? He plays rings around Perlman in every sense.
@loverrmyshades WTF does tht have to do with anything?? WHO CARES if ur here to post random things then u can play ur own music and post tht there. Most of us r listening to either learn, enjoy beautiful classical music or trying to get away from Justin bieber.
@andreasamati as someone who plays this piece, it's more in tune than I've ever heard. you have to shift up down and everywhere for EVERY SINGLE NOTE!
@TSmunt There are actually more in tune recordings even on Youtube.. Perlman certainly isn't the worst violinist in the world, but there are many that play better. His misleading PR makes you think he's the best in history (which is far from the case).
@TSmunt If you are shifting for every note... you are doing something wrong. I personally play this piece as well. The mastery of Itzhak is in his tone. He manages to make every note melt into a beautiful song. The double stops are unbelievable. I have heard every version of praeludium and allegro on youtube and itzhaks is far and away superior to the lot. As to whether he is the greatest violinist in history, that is an impossible conclusion to come to. (I heard Paganini was pretty good... :)
@Juscch yup when it comes to everything but for bach henryk szeryng is the BEST in bach and no arthur grumiaux is NOT better henryk plays it with much more feeling. u r awesome itzhak :)

Thank you so much for posting this up! And thank you, Mr. Perlman, for being what you are: an incredible violinist.
I've been working on this piece for several months and Perlman's interpretation and skill really gives me a sense of direction to how this piece should and CAN sound like.

@PinkYachi
You are correct but Perlman needs a tiny bit better intonation.

Plays with great style & panache. If you fancy a trip down memory lane, check out Barenboim, Jackie Du Pre, Mehta, Perlman & "Pinky" Zukerman { all incredibly young}, playing Schubert's TROUT QUINTET. There are several tantalisingly short clips on U-Tube of them rehearsing, generally clowning around, and in performance. A wonderful insight into their youth and with the sad exception of Jackie, clues as to the talent they would later unleash upon the world for our benefit.

I personally love his interpretation. The andante isn't dragging, and the allegro is just thrilling to listen to! This is my favorite performance of this song. I hear it in my head when I go running.

Yes, I have been treated to so many thin-toned, pansy violin players. Give me the rich, good bow arm of Perlman every time.

Wonderful. Played with great poise and style.
But who's that guy making noise in the background, with a piano I think?
I know this is Violin all the way here, but why leave out the name of the poor stooge? I'd bet he's some pro since he's playing with one of the top musicians in the world, still he doesn't deserve to come in the light. Sheesh...

if you tune all your strings perfectly note-wise using the most scientifically accurate equipment and then play a double stop on the open strings it will not sound right, a perfect fifth is to the ear of the listener like a piece of music depends on the listener not perfect intonation, do you listen out like this for contemporary songs?
vuth94 1 year ago 6
agree with it or not, his playing is with emotions.
davidchung20 1 year ago
Perfect Intonation is a lie. We are humans, not robots. No one should listen for, nor learn the vionlin to play everything perfectly in tune. It will ruin your musicality, along with your enjoyment of music. As Jai77 said, if you want to listen too lifeless technique, watch any other mediocre violinist who is really not musically ready for this piece.

@2007wesman Personally, I believe that "perfect intonation" can be defined in two words: JASCHA HEIFETZ !!

The fact about Perlman (this happens with Oistrach too) is that you don't just admire but you also love him.You listen to them and you want to continue Fighting with the Biest.With Heifetz or Kogan you want to quit.Those qualities of being human and friendly are not so obvious to other top level virtuosos.
apogram 1 year ago
@apogram My point is Perlman is not even in the conversation when discussing great violinists like Kogan or Heifetz. He's simply not as good those guys. He's a very good violinist but not a great violinist.
andreasamati 1 year ago
@andreasamati but he is more natural than most of them.some people estimate this aspect too, in the consideration of a talent
apogram 1 year ago 2
@apogram I'm not saying he's not natural or not good. He's a good violinist, but there are many good violinists in the world. Some people get very annoyed at me when I point out how Perlman isn't the best of all time.
andreasamati 1 year ago
@andreasamati he maybe is not the best of all ages but he belongs to the greats.he is not just one of the many good violinists that exist almost everywhere.especially in '70s and 80s he was the hottest name.He was selling as a record product and a violin hero on stage.And he doesn't need my support and your comments are also without any real value.this debate has no meaning.Let us stop it here.You don't have to change your mind and let his admirers believe he is the best ever.

@apogram no no, perlman also makes me wana quit.

Unfortunately a vast majority of strongly disagree with you. Could someone of mediocre talent, as you describe him, have attained the fame and respect that he has achieved throughout the world? No. He is one of the greats, not because I say so, but because a majority of the world's musicians say so.
porkyfry 1 year ago
@porkyfry Can someone of mediocre talent attain fame in music? Yes. Itzhak Perlman isnt mediocre, he's quite good, but is he one of the greatest violinists of all time or one of the best violinists today? No. There are hundreds if not thousands of little kids in China and Russia to name a few places that could play better. He's not even one of the best Israeli violinists. There's a video of 13 year old Leila Josefowicz on Youtube, playing this piece with more precision than Perlman.
andreasamati 1 year ago
@andreasamati "Thousands of little kids in China and Russia..." Wow. Do us all a favor, go get educated, then come back here to have a discussion, rather than throw around a bunch of made up facts and your personal opinions. You've already taken up enough time and garnered enough attention on this video, so I will not be reading anything further from you.
Last word: owned.
porkyfry 1 year ago 2
@porkyfry Intonation is not personal opinion. You are certainly entitled to believe Perlman's advertising, it's a free world. This recording and others of Perlman are not in tune to the highest standards. He is advertised to be this great violinist in the league of Heifetz, Milstein, Menuhin which I find absolutely absurd. He is not even the greatest violinist from Israel. Ever hear of a man named Yuval Yaron? He plays rings around Perlman in every sense.

@andreasamati as someone who plays this piece, it's more in tune than I've ever heard. you have to shift up down and everywhere for EVERY SINGLE NOTE!
TSmunt 1 year ago 3
@TSmunt There are actually more in tune recordings even on Youtube.. Perlman certainly isn't the worst violinist in the world, but there are many that play better. His misleading PR makes you think he's the best in history (which is far from the case).
andreasamati 1 year ago
@TSmunt If you are shifting for every note... you are doing something wrong. I personally play this piece as well. The mastery of Itzhak is in his tone. He manages to make every note melt into a beautiful song. The double stops are unbelievable. I have heard every version of praeludium and allegro on youtube and itzhaks is far and away superior to the lot. As to whether he is the greatest violinist in history, that is an impossible conclusion to come to. (I heard Paganini was pretty good... :)
