I'm not Jewish, not even close, i'm Mexican. But this music, and this man, it is food for the soul and nothing less. He never fails to make me smile like a small child in a candy store.
Today is Yom haSHoah, and klezmer, for me, is the voice of the six million we lost - people celebrating joyous simchot, only to see their world engulfed by an indescribable hatred, an enormous evil. But the music lives, the Jewish people live. Am Yisrael Chai.
Thank you, and I agree with you. Since October 2023, I have needed to listen to this more often. It may not be Holocaust scale, but these two poor babies and their mother, as well as so many others' incredible suffering at the hands of terrorists.
In the early aughts, I sang with a local Klezmer band in St. Louis, MO. This is superlative--and fun!!! You hear all that exquisite classical mastery in Perlman's playing, yet he makes way for all the other musicians and bends that classicism to embrace this flavor of melody-making. Mesmerizing!!!
I am a Klezmer fan and having the great Master Violinist Itzhak Perlman perform with the Klezmetic band was awsome. I have the CD at home and play it over and over as I love Jewish music. Karl
Absolutely amazing! Perlman is by far the best violinist that ever existed! I’m Jewish and he performs our music with such innate passion, it brings tears to my eyes!!!!
I'm only half Jewish, and not religious, but your comment and the music made me wonderfully happy. Regardless of the people--- this is SOUL music. I can't imagine anything more beautiful.
The greatest modern violinist playing the greatest timeless music. This sound once represented our culture. It is fantastic to hear it after everything that happened in the last century.
Love the connection between the musicians, like at 1:57 when all Perlman has to do is change his facial expression and the rest of the band knows to move to the IV chord. And Perlman's nod of approval afterwards! Great stuff
This video drives me crazy fans, making me jump out of my sleepers ha ha, awesome performances celebrating the joy of life, keep calm & love spreading good vibes, no time to die fans
I cant help it. I'm listening to mr. Perlman at least every day for few weeks now. Neka nam dugo zivi! bog ga blagoslovio. Lehaim, inshalla, zdrovja, sei gesund etc.
Love how he (Itzhak) is willing to try new things and always has a great tone while doing it. I remember this first about him when he helped out the great Jazz Pianist Oscar Peterson by making a jazz duet album with Peterson to raise funds to help with his medical bills. SOULFUL!
I love the Jewish Jazz that is called Klezmer. It is amazing that musicians bring forth music with great joy from a history of hardship.May G_D keep you in the palm of His hand.
and with that comment/prayer, cookingprof..you have scooped up and folded in mh scots -irish culture of rthe Appalachin hills..and the Auld Sod. Thanks.
Beautiful!!! What soul music!!! You can tell the people that played this music suffered a lot. Their pain is in the back of all these tunes, yet so is their bright tenacy in clinging to life, and their joyful hope!!
Itzhak Perlman, what to say. THE BEST and the most amazing musician, so gifted, and so special. When the heart is ruling and when the Heaven and Angels are involved, then there is not a border, not a religion, not human limitations, there is only a GOD. May GOD bless and protect you Sir always.
The refrain and the typical / recognizable klezmer music is very nice but seeing two musicians talk to eachother with their instruments is out of this world. Wow... i could listen to the improvisation for hours and hours. Thats the moment when "god" or whatever you want to call ot, presents itself
I used to watch this, the PBS special in its entirety, all the time with my dad and grandpa (though not Jewish, he was actually Romanian Orthodox, God rest his soul. My only point here is there are those of us gentiles who can enjoy and appreciate klezmer, too, as well.) The way Perlman and all the bands here belt it out, and, might I add, with such gusto, too--AWESOME, such memories ;-)
X-Ray Crystallography Actually, the only point I was trying to make, is that there's not a single darn thing wrong with some of us East European gentiles who already like to live it up ethnic hunky. Plus, this is EXACTLY how I remember it with my dad and grandpa, so it never was any prejudice whatsoever on my part. So the last and final thing I need right now, and I ABSOLUTELY cannot stand, tolerate or deal with, are trolls like you (or repulsive sonofab ---- lowlifes like DaffyDuck73 or NobodySmurf) who insist on ad-libbing and twisting my words around all out of the cock-and-bull false pretense to "show humility".
@X-Ray Crystallography AND NO, I WASN'T AT ALL TAKING TO IT FOR ANY DUMB WRONG STUPID REASONS, PLUS I DON'T KNOW FOR THE LIFE OF ME WHERE THE HELL YOU'RE COMING FROM ABOUT "WHITE AND NON-WHITE PEOPLE"
Extraordinaire le maestro Itzhac Perlman un des plus grand violoniste de tous les temps.... dans cette sublime improvisation de musique Juive. J'adore.Merci.
This is amazing! Why the hell hasn't anyone ever told me about music like this!? Better question, why the heck don't people know about this? It's too good!
Klezmer time for everybody fans, cheer up, Life is beautiful because its giving us big important missions to carry on, seeking for solutions and saving our lives, music for first is saving us from losing minds for good
So beautiful! Klezmer music is mesmerizing It goes right to the heart. You want to get up and dance, but deep down, it seems there is a touch of melancholy. I was wondering if any one agrees with me. Itzhak Perlman performance and words are truly touching. I love Klezmer music!
Maravilhoso! Muito obrigada yakovsmirnov55. Amo klezmer! Lembro-me dos meus avós, judeus-romenos da Bessarábia imigrados no Brasil (Wonderful! Thanks a lot yakovsmirnov55. I love klezmer! I remember my grand-parents jewishs from Romenia-Bessarabia imigrated in Brazil).
This is melody from Basarabia, Republic of Moldova, very impressive. Not so many jewish left today in my country. Thank you guys for remind about our sweet colaboration cultures
This is INCREDIBLE, joyous, life-filled music!! I love it. I'm not Jewish, but who cares. It's a shame that this beautiful music has inspired such negative, hateful comments. Imagine... Just love the music.
I agree with you. I'm Italian and I love the Italian folk songs, and some of them are melancholy behind the joyous sound. I find the same thing in Klezmer. It is more entrancing than the Italian music. In both, however, a deep, soulful connection to the home country. I enjoy both very much.
Superbes musicos, joie et feeling dans le partage de cette improvisation et un Itzhak perlman sublime violoniste. Cette musique Klezmer m'émeut au plus profond. Merci pour ce partage.
I don't gie a damn about where people come from, what colour or relifgion they have, or anything else for that matter. People al over the world make music and songs, and great wonderful music is great wonderful music no matter what - this video is filled with just exactly that. Thanks for sharing, this is awesome!
I love this music. You can hear how it has influenced many other styles of music including Jazz in the USA. Its interesting to see how music has such a long history in the Jewish culture. I did a report for college and found out that 10 percent of the scriptures in the Bible are lyrics to music. The section of the Bible called the Psalms shows how important music is in worshipping God but it also provides a hope for all mankind who prove to be the meek of the Earth. (Psalms 37:9-11, 29)
I am glad you like it Walter! I did not knew that you like those kind of music,if you want I will try to find some other music like this and to send you.
thank you so much sharing, reminding how our ancestors traditions are so adorable, so cheerful, yeah, the true human happiness, the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION to all social classes and levels, so, BIG BIG LIKE all over again, JEWISH traditions lovers, always on your side
Klezmer music is an intoxicating lively and happy mixture of past years from Gypsy music of Serbia, Albania, Greece, Turkish and others. It lifts the spirit and is a token of the soul. Enjoy.
Wishing everybody a great Sunday noon, fans, let it sound this good, amuses me nuts this video, suuuuper awesome, when artists are having fun is ... suuuuper wow
Perlman looks as if he is thoroughly enjoying playing with these fine musicians.. He must be thrilled to be back at the roots of Russian Judaism and to add this great performance to his resume..Great Job Perlman
In the midst of what’s going on in the world, Ja 2021, I decided I needed something to brighten my day. I was at the 1995 Damrosch Park event and realized that some of what I’m seeing and hearing is included here. It’s made my day! What a wonderful performance!
My heritage is eastern European Jewish I love this music. I also love Ladino Music, Arabic Melodies,Rock, The Blues, Ska, Reggae, Salsa. Its not about Zionism or pride in only your culture, we can enjoy other cultural heritages, Klezmer embraces other cultures as well.
It is intensely emotional, powerful, shapeable, flowing; a water's of life experience. Humorous, full of chutzpah. Almost any thing you say about this music is right. Except, 'It is bad.' No! It is wholesome in the true sense of that word. It is a force for good.
I'm not Jewish, not even close, i'm Mexican. But this music, and this man, it is food for the soul and nothing less. He never fails to make me smile like a small child in a candy store.

Makes about as much sense as saying "I'm not a cat, but I do enjoy stroking them"....but it was 9 years ago so 🤷♂😅

I had the privilege of seeing Itzhak Perlman, The Klezmatics and Andy Statman last night in San Francisco. It was Amazing and Energizing!
Did Statman end his set with the Flatbush Waltz, like he usually does? That song always chokes me up.
I am a Klezmer fan and having the great Master Violinist Itzhak Perlman perform with the Klezmetic band was awsome. I have the CD at home and play it over and over as I love Jewish music.

Klezmer music is a whole mood, so exciting! What a beautiful showcase of talent and personality. Thank you for this music.

The greatest modern violinist playing the greatest timeless music. This sound once represented our culture. It is fantastic to hear it after everything that happened in the last century.
I grew up with Klezmer and ancient hebrew music, Itzhak got right into his childhood back-ground.
I have a duo called the Zingers that plays Gershwin and klezmer music for elder housing and memory units with singalongs.
Love the connection between the musicians, like at 1:57 when all Perlman has to do is change his facial expression and the rest of the band knows to move to the IV chord. And Perlman's nod of approval afterwards! Great stuff
Why is this masterpiece making me cry? Old, beautiful times. What a beauty! Oh man, I love this.
I love Itzhak Perlman!Hy is amazing!I love music Klezmer too ❤️🎻
This video drives me crazy fans, making me jump out of my sleepers ha ha, awesome performances celebrating the joy of life, keep calm & love spreading good vibes, no time to die fans
CAN'T IMAGINE ANY WEDDING WITHOUT THESE TUNES !!!...thanks AGAIN !
It's amazing and hilarious to watch Perlman pick up on this so quickly.
With a talent like his and the background he has, it came very naturally.
It was already in him...the sympathetic vibes from the other players brought it out through every pore of Perlman's skin. 100% organic.
I cant help it. I'm listening to mr. Perlman at least every day for few weeks now. Neka nam dugo zivi! bog ga blagoslovio. Lehaim, inshalla, zdrovja, sei gesund etc.
The mutual respect amongst these artists is so wonderful.
Isak Perlman so talented. Everything he plays I like. His command of violin is inspiring.
I've never heard a violin played so beautifully.
Love how he (Itzhak) is willing to try new things and always has a great tone while doing it. I remember this first about him when he helped out the great Jazz Pianist Oscar Peterson by making a jazz duet album with Peterson to raise funds to help with his medical bills. SOULFUL!

Comment ne pas aimer, cette musique qui nous vient du fond de l'âme juive !
You said it: "from the depth of the Jewish soul. " Exactly and thank you
Thank you PERLMAN !!! for being so CONTAGIOUS ! I also feel very NATURAL! listening to KLEZMER music--the SOUL OF JEWISH SOCIETY ! :-)
Why is this music so capturing? I'm not even jewish but it speaks to me
Klezmer is Yiddishe Soul Music! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
The refrain and the typical / recognizable klezmer music is very nice but seeing two musicians talk to eachother with their instruments is out of this world. Wow... i could listen to the improvisation for hours and hours. Thats the moment when "god" or whatever you want to call ot, presents itself
Beautiful music with one people, One world, One culture
5 years ago this was made and it is still being watched, wow just shows how much cultural music is still loved
Itzhak the student and at the same time, the master. Marvelous.
Zupełnie jak bym słyszała dawną Warszawę z dzieciństwa...;)Dla mnie jak miód,dziękuję:)
I love Klezmer music ! I love this style !The best violonist and musician Itzhak Perlman !
I come back to this video at least two or three times a year. Just itches that scratch- you know? Just awesome.
It's incredible that a people that have been so tormented to retain the spirit that produces such beautiful and joyful music "Never Again"
What a treat to find this!
This reaches into your soul and makes you want to dance.

Боже ты мой! Какая мощь старинного произведения! И сколько привнёс Маэстро!
What a fine wine -- the joy of klezmer is a wee bit more lovingly-spurious, in that this appears to be from 1986.
Perlman is one of the few classicists (IMO) that can insinuate himself into any situation and improvise his way through it.
I'm melting in my chair, this is so unbelievably good!! Pure bliss!
godamnit, once klezmer gets in you.. you've got the bug, I'm happy to think I'll never rid myself of it

My heritage is eastern European Jewish I love this music. I also love Ladino Music, Arabic Melodies,Rock, The Blues, Ska, Reggae, Salsa. Its not about Zionism or pride in only your culture, we can enjoy other cultural heritages, Klezmer embraces other cultures as well.
I freaking LOVE this style of music. And now I finally know whats its called. Klezmer.
It is intensely emotional, powerful, shapeable, flowing; a water's of life experience. Humorous, full of chutzpah. Almost any thing you say about this music is right. Except, 'It is bad.' No! It is wholesome in the true sense of that word. It is a force for good.
Best Klezmer rendition I ever heard ... thanks for sharing.
¡¡¡ What a beautiful music !!!
Perlman Wonderfull.
