Itzhak, Yo-Yo, & Emanuel talk Mendelssohn (he wasn't just a composer)

[jdan08]

If only you could learn the violin through osmosis!! You guys seem like you have a great time together.

[rjjones2020]

LMAO you guys are too funny. Manny was hamming it up with Michael when he was in KC not too long ago. I'm glad I'm not the only one who discovered Mendelssohn-the-painter before I discovered Mendelssohn-the-composer. The composition of his paintings is just as intriguing as the color in his music. ... O.o

[Pianoman1770]

omg this is so entertaining! Three of my favorite musicians in the world having a conversation about one of my favorite composers! xD

[Ruairidh1231]

There's no way this video is on youtube, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[EuskaltelEuskadi]

I just watched a video of Yo-yo Ma, Emanuel Ax and Itzhak Perlman. Your argument is invalid.

[colt413]

I would kill to be in a room with those 3!

[Grobanite122549]

LOL these 3 are the best XD

[Bobman4671]

Don't they all teach at Julliard.

[musikgirl1]

Imagine du Pre' in Ma's place.

[999a0s]

itzhak perlman's violin-playing ability is exceeded only by his pun-making ability

[fdr100100]

yo yo sounds like joan cusak

[Vesivian]

Lol, 3 musical titans in a small room.

[j88salinas]

ahahaha this was fucking awesome!!!

[CursosArteCIEC]

Mendelssohn, he wasnt just a composer. Remember that

[timothytpe]

GO ASIANSSSSSS

[az1214lve]

Love them :)

Please come to the Kennedy Center more often! 

[lanarv]

HA HAAA......they are reallly a TRIPLE THREAT ! to make fun of..lol

[AlastairBrownViolist]

Mendelssohn was a good composer, and I like his music.

[TheAbnerCoutinho]

@AlastairBrownViolist But he wasn't just a composer!!!! Remember!!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!!

[gnatural]

perlman is a riot hahhaaha 

[PokutePyon]

I would have sooooooo loved to be there, hahaha. I can't stop laughing at this, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[PokutePyon]

"So Mendelssohn... was... a really great guy, right?" HAHAHAHA. This conversation seems so amateurish for people of their statuses, LOL. Now, it's only ONE of the reasons why we love these guys, right? Out of the 395724857302 reasons there are! Hahaha.

[fattry2000]

Didn't I just say that? Mendelssohn wasn't just a composer!?.... LOL you guys are funny... My heroes..

[Violon2osco]

Mr Pearlman, you are very funny! We just finished a concert series playing "Lobgesang", and the only thing I will fault Mendelssohn (from the point of view of a 2nd violinist) for is...he just uses too many notes! lol

[ivoseixas]

Titans talking...

[janjarmania]

@ivoseixas so true!

[moldyoreo]

How charming!!!

[CreminaOlympia]

And, of course, Beethoven was so deaf that he believed during his whole life he was actually a painter!

[lanarv]

..You know ..PEARLman is not just a violinist !

..but he is the GREATEST VIOLINIST !!!..

These three are JUST GREAT :-))) with great sense of humour!

Thanks for sharing !

[theviolinmaster99]

Oh! I saw a concert the other night with Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo, and Emanuel at a concert where I believe was in New York. AMAZING job

[kikakon]

Great!!!! So funny!!!!

[Cheskkay]

There's something very tender about these three. It's a clever little video.

[Jiglooigloo]

Mendelssohn wasn't just a composer.

[Dragonx523]

oooooooooh myyyy gosh! Three legends standing in one room! *faint*

[cantilena000]

haha.. funny

[harino45]
