Some years ago i was in a hospital. There was a patient listening to this music and i ased him, what music is that? So he told me, he was a terminal patient and as his time was running out fast he only listened to the music worthwhile listining to. As this masterpiece surely is. Now, some years later, it is nearly my turn. Only heaven can hold more beautiful music then this. Dirk
Just thinking of you tonight, Dirk. My goodness that first movement takes you places, surpassed only by the third (imo), which makes me laugh and cry. It's just so beautiful, I don't know where to channel the emotions. Hope things are hanging in for you. Sending lots of light. Be well. ~ D
This violin concerto introduced me to classical music when I was 12. I found Perlman's rendition in the local library on tape cassette, 43 years later and it is still my favourite concerto. I learned to play the violin as a result. I would pretend to be the conductor, waving my chopsticks in the air, tears running down my face, such was the beauty of this concerto. The first movement alone is a masterpiece (almost a symphony in itself). Perlman is on another level, and I have yet to find another violinist come near his interpretation of Beethoven's one and only violin concerto, thank you thank you thank you...
I have loved this concerto since I was a child, and now I'm old. But to be able to read all the comments - that is something else. Suddenly, I am not alone, but in a crowd of lovely appreciative people, and I can know them a little, in a way I couldn't in the audience in a concert hall. RUclips is a miracle of our times, and I filled with gratitude that this performance has been preserved for all of us to enjoy.
Thank you for putting my own thoughts into words also! How lucky we are to be able to listen to these genius musicians (Perlman is without peer in my opinion) playing the music of an eternal musical colossus! Thank you again for your comment !
This piece helps with my depression and anxiety. Whenever I am baraged with non-stop negative thoughts, this is the only piece that stops those voices. I don't know why but thank you Beethoven.
@@АлексейВыблый-л9ф "tastes are not discussed" and I respect your "taste". I think Perlman plays with his own heart every single note. Kogan was one of the best violinist of the history with the technique of Heifetz and the sound of Oistrakh. But I think Perlman is still the best violinist alive in the world.
Gente que, simplemente no tiene alma: están vacíos, ya que resulta imposible no conmoverse ante lo sublime de esta espléndida obra y su extraordinaria ejecución.
When a violinist hobbles on crutches to his seat and smiles the whole time you know he is a great man before he ever plays a note; he is more than a great violinist, he is a universal treasure.
Как же замечательно,что вы приобщаете и ещё много новых людей к прекрасному! Это так обогащает душу,дарит Такие невероятные чувства..Спасибо вам!Такая прекрасная возможность открылась для многих и для старых ценителей и для многих новых!!!🎉
Some of my first memories are of my Daddy upstairs in his den playing the first movement over and over again, he must have been obsessed with it. I was too shy to go upstairs and listen alongside him so I sat entranced at the bottom of the stairs - the same flight of stairs I am looking at now, 65 years later, alone with my cats in the house I inherited from my dear parents. This was late 50's or early 60's. The performer, I learned much later, was Suzanne Lautenbacher. I was barely more than a baby and this was probably the first piece of classical music I ever heard. It made a big impression! At the time I didn't realize the impression made was one of a kind - that only as an innocent child could a piece of great music so magically entrance you - at the time it was just beautiful music I loved. Daddy eventually stopped playing it and the years passed and I forgot all about it until one day, when I was maybe 23, I was digging through his old LP collection and I found it. I put it on and with those first few drum beats tears started streaming . . .it was overwhelmingly beautiful and nostalgic. By the time I got to the cadenza (the solo portion, the one by Fritz Kreisler, also played by Pearlman here) I was back there again and in a Proustian epiphany I had remembered not just that time and how it felt but I remembered and regained "child", or some faint echo of it at least. Ever since then I have been obsessed. The effect on me is something more than music. This movement is, for me, an object of special power, unique in the universe, a portal back to that time and back to the heart and mind of that tiny child who sat in awe at the bottom of these stairs.
This is why parents should play these great pieces of music to their children at a young age. We're so lucky to be able to see and hear this. Thank you for your story and what it brings.
It just doesn’t get any better than this! Beethoven, Perlman & Barenboim! I love UTUBE everyday for bringing us this content. Where else, in what era, was this possible? I’m 73+ yrs. old and I’ve loved classical music for most of my life...and it’s never been so universally accessible. So glad to be alive today❣️Marijane
You are right, Marijane, Beethoven's Violin Concerto performed by Perlman....exquisite. Beethoven always manages to reach the heart, while the phenomenal Perlman somehow extracts every last ounce of emotion from this piece. And you are right about YT also, an unbelievable resource for those of us who adore classical music for which we should be eternally grateful. But even as a LvB ( and Wagner) addict I find that Brahms Violin Concerto moves me more! Btw, I discovered RW quite late in life... he too created some of the most profoundly romantic/heroic, epic even....compositions.
@@maelughran6981 Yes, I also love the Brahms concerto! I must admit I know very little about Wagner’s music other than the obvious, popular ones, but you’ve piqued my interest and that will be my next Utube search!
Your enthusiasm is INFECTIOUS! May it go VIRAL. :)

Durch diese Musik wurde ich geheilt von Depression. Sie sind mein Vorbild.Danke. Mein liebster Komponist und der beste Violinspieler der Welt. Da ist man an den Tor des Himmels.
Millions of people world wide can never attend a concert like this but what an astonishing blessings that we cna see and hear this performance . Deo gratias.
The true master of all music is Beethoven. Violin Maestro Itzhak Perlman plays with maximum feeling. The Berliner Philharmoniker under the direction of Daniel Barenboim surely can not be better. Thank God for superlative music it rules the world despite trying times.
Beethoven is the one who made me fall in love with classical...I was just a teenager in Brussels and my Greek cousin took me to see the Ballet de Bejart, the 9 symphony of Beethoven...this was 1964...now I am still in love with classical music , and it is the only way I can calm my nerves in this crazy world we are now living in...
Perlman is the epitome of what it means to have music at the core of one's soul. I'm sure the great Beethoven would have heartily approved of this magical performance.
Had Beethoven at any point ever able to physically hear his work..? Even so there most have been such a vault of tones... An endless range of notes vying for the opp. To be born... To come ALIVE .. It must , at times as sadistically calming as herding kittens
I own so many of his recordings and had the pleasure of hearing him in Concert’s live at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, where I had the pleasure of working for 50 years. I am blessed with God’s Grace and Love. 💕
I adore Itzhak Perlman - for his talent and virtuosity but even more as a person. He is always happy and smiling as he arrives on stage to play - despite the fact that mobility is a challenge for him. Such a positive force in the World. So needed - especially now. Bravo 👏👏🎶
@Canuckmom1958 loved your post. “Like “ is too feeble a word for either your post or Itzhak Perlman. Or Daniel Barenboim whom I knew of as a teenager. The orchestral sound was strikingly “tender/soft” yet full-bodied. Wow. Music by the auditor ally challenged Ludwig van Beethoven
I was giggling as I watched this - his incredible talent just pours out of those fingers and his expressions as he plays helps me feel some of his exuberance. Brilliant!
Don't forget the genius of the man, Beethoven late in life conscripted such beautiful music...deaf. He heard it in his mind and wrote the scores, even conducted his compositions never hearing a note but what was in his mind, masterful genius.
When my children were little they want “boom boxes” that played cassette tapes. I got them each one with the only stipulation that they play classical tapes at night when they sleep. My daughter rebelled and never played them. My 8 year old son however, stuck to the deal. I asked him if he could tell identify the composers. He said “yes, Bach is playful, Beethoven flows like a river, Mozart is the river”.
Although he couldn’t hear the music as we do but he can hear it in his mind and Beethoven was willing to share it to the world by composing such beautiful music.
There was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as deafness and depression set in and Beethoven's Ode to Joy as music lifted him out of it. The most valuable thing to understand about the man.
Perlman accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Barenboim - folks, it doesn't get better than this. My gold standard recording of the Beethoven concerto.
i was 16 when i heard it for the first time. it was 1963. my violin teacher had a disc player and said..i should hear this. i felt as if a new world opend its door for a new sky .. i was totally overwhelmed. now i am 73 and still overwhelmed as well. listening to this wonderful violin concerto is one of the reasons for living ! thanx very much for uploading !!
I was in High School...now I am sixty-two and it's just like the first time each time Mr. Perlman plays. It's obvious it's played from his soul. I nearly weep for joy when he plays. Thank you.
At 84, I've heard this transcendent masterpiece many many times. Perlman is on another level. I am astounded. It's like hearing this for the first time.
I am 92 and I say this to tell you that your feelings will not change you get older and you don’t hear every note as you used to but the rapture your soul feels only gets better.
I find this odd. Would you say "Two Black Masters," "Two Chinese Masters," "Two German Masters?" What does being Jewish have to do with it? How about two beautifully talented musicians (and yes, I know one is a conductor) bring Beethoven's concerto to extraordinary life?
@@denisesalles7248 I agree, it stuck out like a sore thumb, clanked on the floor making the rest of his/her comment somewhat shallow and sounding insincere. Is he implying it is a surprise that Jewish musicians can perform this well, or is he suggesting that is because they are Jewish that they perform so well?
If it is true which it seems to be that music calms the savage beast , whatever that may be , it is better than any medicine one could take. I take it often .
I was thinking exactly the same thing…and also what a treasured gift to be able to be sitting at home watching this miracle unfold before my very eyes whenever I wish! How fortunate we are!!!
Absolute genius, demonstrating the phenomena we call the human brain. Marvel at how the brain of that man can remember exactly the thousands of notes, played in exactly the right sequence, for exactly the right duration and how that brain can control the fingers and hands to reproduce perfectly each note. Appreciate the orchestra doing the same. Appreciate the brain of the composer who imagined and transformed imagination into dots, lines and squiggles that others can see and whose eyes send signals to brains that replicate the music. Enjoy the sheer beauty and miracle of it all. Rejoice that we are blest with the same brain. Get excited by the many other musicians playing every kind of instrument that do the same. Marvel at the distinction between animals who rely on instinct and humans that have intellect and you soon realise what a miracle mankind really is, in every discipline to which we apply ourselves. Music it is, outstanding at that, but it's so much more. It is actually a miracle that we take for granted. Marvel at technology that enables simple, ordinary people like myself to sit at home watching and listening to things I would hardly ever be able to otherwise. we have much to be truly grateful for. Then marvel at those who are so bereft of the ability to appreciate it all and need to send a thumbs down sign, it beggars belief. Thanks for posting
@@CH-tu4mm I do give God the Glory. Those that believe in Darwin actually believe in a universe that was made from nothing and that nothing came from nowhere and it happened in no time because before planets existed to revolve and orbit, there could be no means of measuring time, not that there would be anyone to measure anyhow. In any case, a day on Venus is 243 earth days whereas a year on Venus is only 225 days so a year is shorter than a day. In effect time is absurd. Genius, rational, logic !!!????? Evolution is the easiest to believe but ultimately we have to conclude that something, somewhere never began, always existed. God! Trouble with evolutionists is that when the irrationality and absurdity of their imagined explanations are exposed, they have the deep and serious problem of what then was the alternative. Modern learned fools that have misled mankind for decades with the fairy stories and figments of their imaginations.
This is one piece of heaven on earth. I understand why my father told me once that Beethoven spoke to God and God answered him, such a masterpiece! Perlman, Barenboim and the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra made great history here. Thank you for this video.
My man introduced me to Classical music years ago. I am so grateful for it. Beethoven is his favorite and he spends many hours listening to it. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of it because of him.
My father, John W. Helton, was also a master violinist. I remember him playing this piece with the Music Minus One series of recordings... outstanding virtuoso. He was also an accomplished composer and conductor of the Houston Youth Symphony back in the 70s. Later on in life he took up the balilika and played with the Houston Balilika Society. He also taught violin and piano. Dad was constantly in demand for concerts and other various events. He brought all of us up being involved in music and the arts. I myself played violin with the Houston Youth Symphony and attended school at the prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts... but I was never more than a mediocre fiddlist. Hearing Itszak Perlman playing reminds me of Dad... and all the memories
Cuando me dicen; mira que bien toca el violín, recuerdo a Perlman y no digo nada “Perlman,Yehudi” Únicos Se me escapa otro, no puedo recordar el nombre, pero también un Grande ❤
We played this piece this evening in Jones Hall with Perlman. I'm glad you have fond memories of music in Houston and of your father. HSPVA is downtown now and the orchestra there attended our morning rehearsal yesterday. My son is now part of that group. I hope he has good memories as well when he is older.
Thank you YOU TUBE, for providing access to these incredible performances. This one is out of this world - so wonderful to hear during these troubling times.
You are right. My subscription to RUclips is one of my best investments: hearing concerts and all music, as well as a few documentaries without interruptions is a great boon. Like hearing this concert for example 😍
A wonderful way to pass an afternoon! Anthony I am on the DC Board of Young Concert Artists - my father was on Susan Wadsworth ‘s board since it’s inception . Pinky# was one of her first artists to be produced by YCA!
He plays this music so tenderly, and his facial expressions make you just want to cry. Perlman is the one who inspired me to continue my violin playing and want to bring it to the next level. He’s the reason it will always be a part of my life.
The tone is so rich. And also the way Perlman plays, as if he is not trying hard at all, but instead relaxed, submerged. Very blessed and talented Perlman is
I'm a grown man. I weep when I hear the majesty of Mr. Perlman's playing. I think it's similar to beauty or to love - indescribable, in some ways. Inexplicable, certainly. All I know is that I am grateful for this gift from this man who has devoted his life to his talent.
I think it’s the most beautiful of violin concertos (and there are so many to choose from). I played a recording of this concerto for my mother (it was he favourite) as she lay on her deathbed and I will never ever forget her reaction. It moved her to another place. Someplace only she new where😊❤️🙏
Чудесное произведение, которое можно слушать бесконечно! Конечно оно начинает играть яркими красками в таком исполнении. Перельман - гениальный исполнитель, оркестр и дирижер - бесподобны! Какое счастье видеть и слышать эту неземную красоту.
Magnífico ejecutante! Esa técnica Esa dulzura, que sale del corazón. Y la orquesta y el director que acompañan.¡ que deleite, que placer,!! Y sin una imperfecciónsolo: maravilloso. Sonido. Gracias ,gracias a todos pues esos dones maravillosos nos han embelesado!!!! Bendiciones
That is not true, he has supported Zionist Jew and opened doors for him, and close to others, even in his life story told us when we watched his concert one month ago,
Best of the shorter remarks in this string , with or without your permission , I'm stealing it for an article I am writing... >>>>>Joel Laykin....Hong Kong , China
Magnificento!!! Magnifying!!! Powerful!!! Electrifying!! I am a paraplegic, I know the meaning of this. He plays straight from his heart to let us feel it!! Bravissimo Itzhak!!!🎻🤟🏽
@@itzhakperlman1616 כל הכבוד ללב הרחמן שלך, שתהיה מבורך, ותזכה תמיד לעשות את רצון הבורא הרחמן שלנו ולמצוא חן בעיניו !! תודה שנתן לנו את הנגינה הנפלאה שלך !!
I am so happy to live in an era where this beauty is available to all of us ! Classical music has got😮 me through some very tough times !and as an old person I would not want to live without it !
This is, quite simply, the greatest concerto ever written. Much credit goes to Perlman, Barenboim and all the performers but the lion's share goes to Beethoven for this miracle of sound. It expresses the depth of the human spirit and the wonders of our intelligence. This is man at his best.
@@rimafallaha5469 It's a superb concerto; One of the best, and one of my personal favorites, but still not at this level. Not even Brahms could equal it.
@@ihaveacoolnickname It's a matter of taste at the end of the day. I personally prefer the Brahms concerto, without wanting to take anything away from Beethoven's work. We should not be making "definite" lists at this level, it frankly doesn't matter.
I heard Maestro Perlman play this concerto with the Toronto Symphony in Carnegie Hall during the NYC marathon on a Sunday afternoon in the Fall of 1987. He stood in for the singer who was sick, every note was perfect. I was in the cheapest seat at the top of the hall and he was a dot on the stage but the sound lingers with me still , to see him now so close up, every expression, his fingers and bow moving effortlessly. Thank you, thank you for posting this on RUclips.
Another answered prayer when the RUclips algorithm dropped this amazing, soul-stirring selection into my feed. I really needed this. I was raised on classical music from as far back as I can remember. On Saturday and Sunday mornings my father would have the radio tuned to Sunrise Symphony on WOR out of New York. This was back in the 1940's. Have always loved this piece. Once my parents were able to buy a console with a radio AND a phonograph, my father started collecting classical music on records so we could listen to that marvelous music any time. My aunt was a violinist and played with our community orchestra. Anytime there was a concert ANYWHERE near us (we lived in north Jersey) featuring a violin concerto, she would take me with her to hear it. I'm 78 years old now but I remember the first time Itzhak Perlman appeared on TV. He was introduced as a "new, young, violinist" on a level with some of the other recent virtuoso violinists. Don't remember which selection he played that day, but there was something about his music 🎶 that touched my heart and soul. I remember saying to my Dad that I knew he was going be one of the greatest violinists that ever lived. His sound was not like anyone elses. Being able to hear this tonight has been a true gift. This is my favorite violin concerto. It's too bad Beethoven didn't write more for the violin. But perhaps he felt he would never be able to equal this. If anything, Perlman's music has gotten so much sweeter with the years. Thank you again Itzhak and Beethoven.
Aloha God Bless You ! I started with the Suzuki Method at 3 and learned music theory and how to read n write music just before writing and reading English. My sister's too but they played piano / flute violin. I played trumpet and violin. My grandfather sat on the st Louis Symphony .. My Uncle Frank Schindler studied for decade in Paris and was a great teacher and pianist of Bach especially .. Grandma Schindler played the organ at church til 93 ! This piece here Itzhak Perlman + Stradivarius + Beethoven is my favorite song for last 10 months haha we are both happy to find this. Aloha -J
Beethoven actually wrote quite a few more pieces for the violin, including his two romances and the sonatas for violin and piano. : ) They are all very good
The great tragedy is that Beethoven only composed a single violin concerto. It was not well received initially and then not until after his death. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music every created, and Perlman plays effortlessly and with infectious joy. If I only had one piece of classical music to listen to, this would be it.
Dear David, When such a perfect play is delivered to the world - as Perlman offered us! - is done... there's no need for more! Any violin concert can be wonderful, amazing, incredible.... this one - Perlman, Barenboim... - is the absolute gift to us...
The main theme in the last movement always gives me the image of a child trying to entice a parent to join in play. The orchestra's echo is the parent lumbering along after the child skips lightly.
And to think that Beethoven almost committed suicide! He was in the depths of despair over his declining health and hearing loss, and stated in a letter that he had strongly considered suicide, but decided not to, because of the importance of his "art." (See the two-hour Beethoven documentary that came out a couple years ago.) Thank God for that!! If he had killed himself, this piece and other of his best works would never have been created.
A breathtaking performance of the Beethoven violin concerto: Barenboim splendid at the helm; Perlman at his unbeatable best; and behind and under and through it all, the marvellous Berlin Philharmonic. Beethoven performed here with near definitive precision and profundity. A marvellous spectacle.
I’m 57 grew up in the 70s-80s listening to rock and roll with lots of distortion. But every time I see this man play I’m in ahhhh. The emissions I feel are utterly amazing, goosebumps and all. What an unbelievable performance by all..!! Thank you for sharing.
Perlman is part of my newborn’s routine. She listens to this piece every night before bedtime and moves her hands trying to follow the music. Perlman is unique
The first time I heard this concerto was when I was in 9th grade, and suffering from the serious congestion produced by a cold. I was lying down in front of the fireplace, listening to the concerto and my father was sitting on the sofa, and I found myself sobbing through the entire piece, its beauty affecting me deeply.
Such a beautiful memory sitting with your father! I cry every time I listen to this piece especially Itzhak Perlman’s rendition with Berenboim conducting. 🥰
@@scottrichard1492 This is indeed my favorite classical composition and Perlman is a violinist beyond belief. His instrument makes one realize why musicians will pay a king's ransom for a Stradivarius
@@Jammies944Well… I pay for RUclips premium, so it’s not quite free. Lol. Plus the phone bill, plus room & board. You get the picture, nothing is free in this day and age. But I’m grateful that I have my freedom tho. Blessed beyond measure.
@@cora-all You wouldn‘t enjoy it at all without premium youtube. When suddenly without a warning an advertisement cuts through the music asking you to buy a special dish cleaner. Believe me, I find it hard to pay the premium fee every month, but without it…
A ending and a start of anything any time! Yes, truly sublime. I'm old enough to remember Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic when he was at his sexiest. His dramatic quality was indisputable but i always found his tempi at tad frenzied. Younger musicians and conductors understand that Beethoven is best just on a tad slower tempo. This performance is unsurpassed. The more I listen to it the more tears just flow: happy, complex, most fulfilling tears. Cheers from Oz 🦘
I am very grateful for Mr Perlman, the great violinist, the Conductor and all the musicians of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for the excellent performance. It brings me immense joy and hope!
Have loved his violin for more than 3 decades. Unfortunately, can't play his records or even his CDs, because my devices died and I can't afford new ones. My thanks to anyone, who has put these beautiful pieces of music unline, for me to be able to listen to. Thank you Itzak and yous. who are with me.
Pearlman pares and slashes to the depths of Beethoven’s heart, immersed and cocoon ed in the Bareboem philharmonic. I wish the whole world could listen with me!
What could be more spiritually uplifting in these terrible COVID days, than to listen to this glorious piece, played to perfection. Thank you for uploading.👏👏👏👏👏
This concert, and the performance of Issac Paulmann are glorious… It made me smile… It made me cry… It just elevated my soul… I had that a complicated end of day, I’m listening to this concert erased all of the annoyance and stress. Thank you for posting this❤
@@Dylonely_9274 i often do a mind exercise thinking about the two pieces and try to convince myself which one i like more and why. Its very difficult cuz both are truly amazing!
Perlman sometimes makes a violin sound like a cello, other times indistinguishable from a song bird. Absolutely healing. . . . the love and respect on the faces of the orchestra in camera view when he walks on; it's palpable.
A fantastic performance. Just imagine attending a musical concert with virtuoso Itzhak Perlman on violin, delivering Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Berlin Philharmoniker, conducted by maestro Daniel Barenboim - we may not see the like again! Yet, here it is for us all to savour.
The only reason that I popped up in this life was to hear to this kind of music, was listening to Schubert about half an hour ago, and thinking that’s how you experience heaven! Beethoven well! Another level of heaven !! Just sublime! Life is really good my friend !
Дорогая Виталия,желаю вам ещё долгих счастливых лет жизни,чтобы вы как можно дольше имели возможность наслаждаться прекрасной музыкой! Всего вам самого доброго. Вы возраста моей мамы. Я считаю людей вашего поколения самым большим достоянием нашего времени. Живите дольше!🙏🙏🙏
I listen to this concert in the first hours of the new year, because it vibrates at high frequencies, especially when it is performed by such musicians. Perlman is the splendor of time, which has a violin in the soul, and the soul in the violin.
Truly, truly superb. There are few as gifted as Itzhak Perlman, and the Berlin Phil. are superb also - I just relax back in my chair and get lost in this beauty for hours on end! I thank God for that beauty and blessing.
I honestly am overwhelmed with envy, and I don't know which is greater, if my mediocrity or the virtuosity of Itzhak Perlman and Daniel Barenboim and all the components of this magnificent Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin. Watching this work by Beethoven is a rare experience of exercising human sensibility. It is an opportunity for a mortal to access the divine dimension. I confess that I feel transported to Olympus.
Thank goodness for Beethoven. This concerto gives instructions for navigating our way psychologically through the world's messed-upness today, in the midst of a pandemic, with cruelty and torture the rule in many places big and small on earth, and the possibility of overcoming misunderstanding seemingly farfetched. Beethoven offers an idea for how to hold onto hope, because he needed it himself to survive.
@Richard Zimmerman Yes my sentiments exactly . Mr. Trump , a cross between a disgraced Benedict Arnold and an equally distasteful Aaron Burr with a little Jeferson Davis tossed in for good measure , has been a festering boil on the body of the American Experiment.... >>>Joel Laykin , Hong Kong , China
I grew up listening to my mother practice hours at the piano. She taught me to love the classics and more than that, she taught me to find my own balance by listening to such beauty ART.❤️
I found a 4 CD Perlman set with this recording included when I was 18 and couldn’t afford the $50 price tag. It ended up the first gift I received from a beloved friend. I still have it 20 years later. Memorized every note. One of my treasured possessions.
For over 50 years I have been enthralled by Beethoven and his genius. First with his 9th symphony and then this Violin Concerto. I first heard it performed by the legendary Jasha Heifowitz, now by Itzhak Perlman. It still runs chills in my heart to hear such excellence!
Dios mío, no me canso de escuchar ests obra tan majestuosa que nos regalo Bethoveen, interpretada y dirigida por dos grandes genios, gracias 🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤❤❤
I am nothing but a old country bumpkin with no musical training, but I still find this to be one of the sweetest, most emotion arousing pieces of music ever written. But what else can we expect from Beethoven ?
Un genio assoluto. Il concerto per violino e orchestra sembra che Beethoven l'abbia scritto pensando a quando l'avrebbe eseguito Perlman, il più grande violinista vivente da oltre 50 anni.
Some years ago i was in a hospital. There was a patient listening to this music and i ased him, what music is that? So he told me, he was a terminal patient and as his time was running out fast he only listened to the music worthwhile listining to. As this masterpiece surely is. Now, some years later, it is nearly my turn. Only heaven can hold more beautiful music then this. Dirk

Wonderful music full of energy and delicacy, sympathetic. Uplifting.
Just thinking of you tonight, Dirk. My goodness that first movement takes you places, surpassed only by the third (imo), which makes me laugh and cry. It's just so beautiful, I don't know where to channel the emotions. Hope things are hanging in for you. Sending lots of light. Be well. ~ D
A great story. Thanks for sharing it.

Itzhak is not just a great violinist. He is a doctor. He heals my soul and heart.
That's a beautiful thought; I think Maestro Perlman would love it.
Well said

This violin concerto introduced me to classical music when I was 12. I found Perlman's rendition in the local library on tape cassette, 43 years later and it is still my favourite concerto. I learned to play the violin as a result. I would pretend to be the conductor, waving my chopsticks in the air, tears running down my face, such was the beauty of this concerto. The first movement alone is a masterpiece (almost a symphony in itself). Perlman is on another level, and I have yet to find another violinist come near his interpretation of Beethoven's one and only violin concerto, thank you thank you thank you...
Я тоже расплакалась,когда зазвучала скрипка,не знаю какими словами описать чувства в душе…
True
I have loved this concerto since I was a child, and now I'm old. But to be able to read all the comments - that is something else. Suddenly, I am not alone, but in a crowd of lovely appreciative people, and I can know them a little, in a way I couldn't in the audience in a concert hall. RUclips is a miracle of our times, and I filled with gratitude that this performance has been preserved for all of us to enjoy.

I cannot understand how it's possible to click "I don't like" to this amazing perform! Perlman is the music, he's the violin!!
Amazing technic but there is no so much soul. Kogan and Heifetz absolutely fantastic violinists .
And don't forget: maestro Barenboim conducting! :D
@@АлексейВыблый-л9ф "tastes are not discussed" and I respect your "taste". I think Perlman plays with his own heart every single note.

Gente que, simplemente no tiene alma: están vacíos, ya que resulta imposible no conmoverse ante lo sublime de esta espléndida obra y su extraordinaria ejecución.
Espectacular!! MAGNIFICO!! FELICITACIONES!!
When a violinist hobbles on crutches to his seat and smiles the whole time you know he is a great man before he ever plays a note; he is more than a great violinist, he is a universal treasure.

I felt that, too.
True. And his being great shows a lot to his playing. My impression of him (when he plays music) is that he's a very gentle person. ❤

Yes he is!
Thank you Dad and Mom - wherever you are - for giving me the love of your music.
That smile on Perlman's face- a man who truly loves his 'work'. Just stunning...
Precioso , magnífico, graciassss
True! Not much grimacing when he plays, mostly smiles.
It is not “work”; it is his life.

Perlman-Barenboim is the best concerto duo ever
... if you haven't heard Oistrakh and Kondrashin.
The salve we all need so much more than we know. Thank you all.
Some of my first memories are of my Daddy upstairs in his den playing the first movement over and over again, he must have been obsessed with it. I was too shy to go upstairs and listen alongside him so I sat entranced at the bottom of the stairs - the same flight of stairs I am looking at now, 65 years later, alone with my cats in the house I inherited from my dear parents.
This was late 50's or early 60's. The performer, I learned much later, was Suzanne Lautenbacher. I was barely more than a baby and this was probably the first piece of classical music I ever heard. It made a big impression! At the time I didn't realize the impression made was one of a kind - that only as an innocent child could a piece of great music so magically entrance you - at the time it was just beautiful music I loved.
Daddy eventually stopped playing it and the years passed and I forgot all about it until one day, when I was maybe 23, I was digging through his old LP collection and I found it. I put it on and with those first few drum beats tears started streaming . . .it was overwhelmingly beautiful and nostalgic. By the time I got to the cadenza (the solo portion, the one by Fritz Kreisler, also played by Pearlman here) I was back there again and in a Proustian epiphany I had remembered not just that time and how it felt but I remembered and regained "child", or some faint echo of it at least.
Ever since then I have been obsessed. The effect on me is something more than music. This movement is, for me, an object of special power, unique in the universe, a portal back to that time and back to the heart and mind of that tiny child who sat in awe at the bottom of these stairs.
Thank you so much for your wonderful story. All good wishes.

This is why parents should play these great pieces of music to their children at a young age. We're so lucky to be able to see and hear this. Thank you for your story and what it brings.
🙏 Really a wonderful story. Thank you very much 😍 for sharing !
It just doesn’t get any better than this! Beethoven, Perlman & Barenboim! I love UTUBE everyday for bringing us this content. Where else, in what era, was this possible? I’m 73+ yrs. old and I’ve loved classical music for most of my life...and it’s never been so universally accessible. So glad to be alive today❣️Marijane
You are right, Marijane, Beethoven's Violin Concerto performed by Perlman....exquisite. Beethoven always manages to reach the heart, while the phenomenal Perlman somehow extracts every last ounce of emotion from this piece. And you are right about YT also, an unbelievable resource for those of us who adore classical music for which we should be eternally grateful. But even as a LvB ( and Wagner) addict I find that Brahms Violin Concerto moves me more!
Btw, I discovered RW quite late in life... he too created some of the most profoundly romantic/heroic, epic even....compositions.
Cheers!
nah...neither smart, nor beautiful - on the great violin
@@maelughran6981 Yes, I also love the Brahms concerto! I must admit I know very little about Wagner’s music other than the obvious, popular ones, but you’ve piqued my interest and that will be my next Utube search!

The true master of all music is Beethoven. Violin Maestro Itzhak Perlman plays with maximum feeling. The Berliner Philharmoniker under the direction of Daniel Barenboim surely can not be better. Thank God for superlative music it rules the world despite trying times.
Beethoven is the one who made me fall in love with classical...I was just a teenager in Brussels and my Greek cousin took me to see the Ballet de Bejart, the 9 symphony of Beethoven...this was 1964...now I am still in love with classical music , and it is the only way I can calm my nerves in this crazy world we are now living in...

Perlman is the epitome of what it means to have music at the core of one's soul. I'm sure the great Beethoven would have heartily approved of this magical performance.
Had Beethoven at any point ever able to physically hear his work..? Even so there most have been such a vault of tones... An endless range of notes vying for the opp. To be born... To come ALIVE .. It must , at times as sadistically calming as herding kittens

I concur and sympathize with you. May you find healing with each new day.
I adore Itzhak Perlman - for his talent and virtuosity but even more as a person. He is always happy and smiling as he arrives on stage to play - despite the fact that mobility is a challenge for him. Such a positive force in the World. So needed - especially now. Bravo 👏👏🎶
A great man, a great artist
@Canuckmom1958 loved your post. “Like “ is too feeble a word for either your post or Itzhak Perlman. Or Daniel Barenboim whom I knew of as a teenager. The orchestral sound was strikingly “tender/soft” yet full-bodied. Wow. Music by the auditor ally challenged Ludwig van Beethoven
I was giggling as I watched this - his incredible talent just pours out of those fingers and his expressions as he plays helps me feel some of his exuberance. Brilliant!
You can feel his soul when he plays.
He didn't smile when he played the music from Schindler's list in London. Neither did anyone else, it was so hauntingly beautiful
Don't forget the genius of the man, Beethoven late in life conscripted such beautiful music...deaf. He heard it in his mind and wrote the scores, even conducted his compositions never hearing a note but what was in his mind, masterful genius.
When my children were little they want “boom boxes” that played cassette tapes. I got them each one with the only stipulation that they play classical tapes at night when they sleep. My daughter rebelled and never played them. My 8 year old son however, stuck to the deal. I asked him if he could tell identify the composers. He said “yes, Bach is playful, Beethoven flows like a river, Mozart is the river”.
@@mikecantrell2397 beautiful
Although he couldn’t hear the music as we do but he can hear it in his mind and Beethoven was willing to share it to the world by composing such beautiful music.
There was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as deafness and depression set in and Beethoven's Ode to Joy as music lifted him out of it. The most valuable thing to understand about the man.

If it is true which it seems to be that music calms the savage beast , whatever that may be , it is better than any medicine one could take. I take it often .

Amen!
Agree!
God bless Mr Perlman for his lifetime of wondrous music.
Absolute genius, demonstrating the phenomena we call the human brain. Marvel at how the brain of that man can remember exactly the thousands of notes, played in exactly the right sequence, for exactly the right duration and how that brain can control the fingers and hands to reproduce perfectly each note. Appreciate the orchestra doing the same. Appreciate the brain of the composer who imagined and transformed imagination into dots, lines and squiggles that others can see and whose eyes send signals to brains that replicate the music. Enjoy the sheer beauty and miracle of it all. Rejoice that we are blest with the same brain. Get excited by the many other musicians playing every kind of instrument that do the same. Marvel at the distinction between animals who rely on instinct and humans that have intellect and you soon realise what a miracle mankind really is, in every discipline to which we apply ourselves. Music it is, outstanding at that, but it's so much more. It is actually a miracle that we take for granted. Marvel at technology that enables simple, ordinary people like myself to sit at home watching and listening to things I would hardly ever be able to otherwise. we have much to be truly grateful for. Then marvel at those who are so bereft of the ability to appreciate it all and need to send a thumbs down sign, it beggars belief. Thanks for posting
We marvel - I hope we give GOD the glory. Not Darwin.
@@CH-tu4mm I go with Darwin
@@CH-tu4mm I do give God the Glory. Those that believe in Darwin actually believe in a universe that was made from nothing and that nothing came from nowhere and it happened in no time because before planets existed to revolve and orbit, there could be no means of measuring time, not that there would be anyone to measure anyhow. In any case, a day on Venus is 243 earth days whereas a year on Venus is only 225 days so a year is shorter than a day. In effect time is absurd. Genius, rational, logic !!!????? Evolution is the easiest to believe but ultimately we have to conclude that something, somewhere never began, always existed. God! Trouble with evolutionists is that when the irrationality and absurdity of their imagined explanations are exposed, they have the deep and serious problem of what then was the alternative. Modern learned fools that have misled mankind for decades with the fairy stories and figments of their imaginations.

My man introduced me to Classical music years ago. I am so grateful for it. Beethoven is his favorite and he spends many hours listening to it. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of it because of him.
My father, John W. Helton, was also a master violinist. I remember him playing this piece with the Music Minus One series of recordings... outstanding virtuoso. He was also an accomplished composer and conductor of the Houston Youth Symphony back in the 70s. Later on in life he took up the balilika and played with the Houston Balilika Society. He also taught violin and piano. Dad was constantly in demand for concerts and other various events. He brought all of us up being involved in music and the arts. I myself played violin with the Houston Youth Symphony and attended school at the prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts... but I was never more than a mediocre fiddlist. Hearing Itszak Perlman playing reminds me of Dad... and all the memories

We played this piece this evening in Jones Hall with Perlman. I'm glad you have fond memories of music in Houston and of your father.

I'm a grown man. I weep when I hear the majesty of Mr. Perlman's playing. I think it's similar to beauty or to love - indescribable, in some ways. Inexplicable, certainly. All I know is that I am grateful for this gift from this man who has devoted his life to his talent.
The best violin concerto ever !

I heard Maestro Perlman play this concerto with the Toronto Symphony in Carnegie Hall during the NYC marathon on a Sunday afternoon in the Fall of 1987. He stood in for the singer who was sick, every note was perfect. I was in the cheapest seat at the top of the hall and he was a dot on the stage but the sound lingers with me still , to see him now so close up, every expression, his fingers and bow moving effortlessly. Thank you, thank you for posting this on RUclips.
Sounds like a dialogue of the artist with God
Another answered prayer when the RUclips algorithm dropped this amazing, soul-stirring selection into my feed. I really needed this. I was raised on classical music from as far back as I can remember. On Saturday and Sunday mornings my father would have the radio tuned to Sunrise Symphony on WOR out of New York. This was back in the 1940's. Have always loved this piece. Once my parents were able to buy a console with a radio AND a phonograph, my father started collecting classical music on records so we could listen to that marvelous music any time. My aunt was a violinist and played with our community orchestra. Anytime there was a concert ANYWHERE near us (we lived in north Jersey) featuring a violin concerto, she would take me with her to hear it. I'm 78 years old now but I remember the first time Itzhak Perlman appeared on TV. He was introduced as a "new, young, violinist" on a level with some of the other recent virtuoso violinists. Don't remember which selection he played that day, but there was something about his music 🎶 that touched my heart and soul. I remember saying to my Dad that I knew he was going be one of the greatest violinists that ever lived. His sound was not like anyone elses. Being able to hear this tonight has been a true gift. This is my favorite violin concerto. It's too bad Beethoven didn't write more for the violin. But perhaps he felt he would never be able to equal this. If anything, Perlman's music has gotten so much sweeter with the years. Thank you again Itzhak and Beethoven.
Wonderful comment
Aloha God Bless You !
I started with the Suzuki Method at 3 and learned music theory and how to read n write music just before writing and reading English. My sister's too but they played piano / flute violin. I played trumpet and violin. My grandfather sat on the st Louis Symphony ..

Beethoven actually wrote quite a few more pieces for the violin, including his two romances and the sonatas for violin and piano. : ) They are all very good
Hallo from Austria..... Thank you for telling us your life-Story. Very heartwarming.
Best music to listen to while meditating. Surpasses all hymns.
The great tragedy is that Beethoven only composed a single violin concerto. It was not well received initially and then not until after his death. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music every created, and Perlman plays effortlessly and with infectious joy. If I only had one piece of classical music to listen to, this would be it.
Dear David,
When such a perfect play is delivered to the world - as Perlman offered us! - is done... there's no need for more!
Any violin concert can be wonderful, amazing, incredible.... this one - Perlman, Barenboim... - is the absolute gift to us...
It is hard to top this. Why even trying?
The main theme in the last movement always gives me the image of a child trying to entice a parent to join in play. The orchestra's echo is the parent lumbering along after the child skips lightly.
@@ekaram63 if no one tried, we wouldn't have the Brahms concerto, or Sibelius, or Tchaikovsky, etc.
And to think that Beethoven almost committed suicide! He was in the depths of despair over his declining health and hearing loss, and stated in a letter that he had strongly considered suicide, but decided not to, because of the importance of his "art." (See the two-hour Beethoven documentary that came out a couple years ago.) Thank God for that!! If he had killed himself, this piece and other of his best works would never have been created.
Itzhak Perlman is the Best! I love the way he doesn't need the music, plays by memory. BRAVO!!

I'm old enough to remember Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic when he was at his sexiest. His dramatic quality was indisputable but i always found his tempi at tad frenzied. Younger musicians and conductors understand that Beethoven is best just on a tad slower tempo.
This performance is unsurpassed.

Have loved his violin for more than 3 decades. Unfortunately, can't play his records or even his CDs, because my devices died and I can't afford new ones. My thanks to anyone, who has put these beautiful pieces of music unline, for me to be able to listen to. Thank you Itzak and yous. who are with me.
My wife’s name is Cheri (spelled your way) and her last name starts with « B ». Did a double take!

Itzak + Stradivarius + Beethoven =

Исхьакь проявил дар Божий достойным образом. Великий человек. Слава его Роду.
God created humanity for these wondrous works and events❤
잠깐동안 듣고 끄려고 했는데 유튜브를 끌 수가 없습니다. 그의 연주는 저의 마음 속 깊이 들어와 잠자는 음악적 갈망에 자꾸 노크합니다.
Pearlman pares and slashes to the depths of Beethoven’s heart, immersed and cocoon ed in the Bareboem philharmonic. I wish the whole world could listen with me!
Balm for the troubled soul in these strange times. Thank you for your skill and dedication all musicians of the world
Just found this, and it has blown me away! Thank you.
@@helenwinchester2520 Я очарована. Спасибо!!!

This concert, and the performance of Issac Paulmann are glorious… It made me smile… It made me cry… It just elevated my soul… I had that a complicated end of day, I’m listening to this concert erased all of the annoyance and stress. Thank you for posting this❤
Thank you
When a violin concerto opens with a beautiful, eyewatering wind ensemble, what can one say but "Beethoven". This piece defies time.
MARAVILLOSO....ESTOY COMO FLOTANDO,EN MEDIO De QUIMIOTERAPIA ....GRACIAS POR ESTA MARAVILLA!!!!!
Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto too (the second movement :)
@@Dylonely_9274 i often do a mind exercise thinking about the two pieces and try to convince myself which one i like more and why. Its very difficult cuz both are truly amazing!
@@Dee010s For me, Tchaikovsky’s one is obviously better. Perhaps you really like classical music as romantic.
Bc chi chi
Perlman sometimes makes a violin sound like a cello, other times indistinguishable from a song bird. Absolutely healing. . . . the love and respect on the faces of the orchestra in camera view when he walks on; it's palpable.
Ouvir esse violinista, é o mesmo que entrar no Paraíso sem pedir licença!
Two of Israel’s finest with the Berlin Philharmonic with one of Germany’s finest composer. Imagine this in 1943!

Helen! So true. What a lovely comment
A fantastic performance.
Just imagine attending a musical concert with virtuoso Itzhak Perlman on violin, delivering Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Berlin Philharmoniker, conducted by maestro Daniel Barenboim - we may not see the like again!
Yet, here it is for us all to savour.
!!!!111!!
Yes to have been there and hear this would be the gift of a life time.
I love Beetoven transition from barroco to romanticism
Amen! I wish there was much more of it!
Mr. Perlman and his Strad made this piece come alive. Utterly wonderful!
A masterpiece played by a master. So beautiful how he feels every note. It’s a gift to have something so beautiful in an ugly world.
The only reason that I popped up in this life was to hear to this kind of music, was listening to Schubert about half an hour ago, and thinking that’s how you experience heaven! Beethoven well! Another level of heaven !! Just sublime! Life is really good my friend !
100% with you! Go listen to some Mahler 2nd, and Beethoven's Heiliger Dankesang, for those extra perspectives on Heaven 😊
Мне тоже скоро 85лет и всю жизнь я слушаю эту музыку в различных исполнениях и поражаюсь ее красоте все больше. Спасибо.
Дорогая Виталия,желаю вам ещё долгих счастливых лет жизни,чтобы вы как можно дольше имели возможность наслаждаться прекрасной музыкой! Всего вам самого доброго. Вы возраста моей мамы. Я считаю людей вашего поколения самым большим достоянием нашего времени. Живите дольше!🙏🙏🙏
Ради этого стоит жить, жить долго! 🔥
We can all be grateful to Beethoven for leaving us such a precious enduring gift forever
Einfach wundervoll
Perlman is on another level. At 84, I've heard this transcendent masterpiece many many times. This. This recording by Perlman is on another level.
I listen to this concert in the first hours of the new year, because it vibrates at high frequencies, especially when it is performed by such musicians. Perlman is the splendor of time, which has a violin in the soul, and the soul in the violin.
Me too Lauretta, complete with my greyhound who struggled through the fireworks!! Just beautiful,beloved Beethoven. Joan
Our Great violinist also has a Great violin. The sound is out of this world.
@@maryn.4492 That's a Stradivarius violin made in 1714. Both the Violin and Perlman play happily together. 🎻😍🎻
What a gifted player, I say ,no violin player any better, I love this music I play old time string music and this man is a gift to music @
I love what you wrote! 👏🏾
Hear hear
Thanks for the vibes 💜
Truly, truly superb. There are few as gifted as Itzhak Perlman, and the Berlin Phil. are superb also - I just relax back in my chair and get lost in this beauty for hours on end! I thank God for that beauty and blessing.
I honestly am overwhelmed with envy, and I don't know which is greater, if my mediocrity or the virtuosity of Itzhak Perlman and Daniel Barenboim and all the components of this magnificent Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin.
Watching this work by Beethoven is a rare experience of exercising human sensibility. It is an opportunity for a mortal to access the divine dimension. I confess that I feel transported to Olympus.
Brilliant! Itzak Perlman is a fantastic violinist and a wonderful human being. 🙏🏻🎶🎻❤️
The most perfect violinist ever to my mind
It isu
Him and Hilary Hahn. 😊
Thank goodness for Beethoven. This concerto gives instructions for navigating our way psychologically through the world's messed-upness today, in the midst of a pandemic, with cruelty and torture the rule in many places big and small on earth, and the possibility of overcoming misunderstanding seemingly farfetched. Beethoven offers an idea for how to hold onto hope, because he needed it himself to survive.
Beautifully said!
@Louise X Prefer Trump.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing your deep thoughts
@Richard Zimmerman Yes my sentiments exactly . Mr. Trump , a cross between a disgraced Benedict Arnold and an equally distasteful Aaron Burr with a little Jeferson Davis tossed in for good measure , has been a festering boil on the body of the American Experiment....

I adore Itzhak Perlman as a man and as a musician virtuoso. You can feel his soul as he performs. Magnificent! Magical!!❤
My favorite piece of classic music. It brings hope, love , passion and courage. When I'm down, I listen to it for healing.
I grew up listening to my mother practice hours at the piano. She taught me to love the classics and more than that, she taught me to find my own balance by listening to such beauty ART.❤️
♥️♥️♥️
I found a 4 CD Perlman set with this recording included when I was 18 and couldn’t afford the $50 price tag. It ended up the first gift I received from a beloved friend. I still have it 20 years later. Memorized every note. One of my treasured possessions.
For over 50 years I have been enthralled by Beethoven and his genius. First with his 9th symphony and then this Violin Concerto. I first heard it performed by the legendary Jasha Heifowitz, now by Itzhak Perlman.
It still runs chills in my heart to hear such excellence!
Zino Francescatti was my first introduction to the concert, and still my favourite, closely followed by Perlman.
😊
Which other pieces do you truly love by Beethoven, excluding his symphonies? The violin concerto and 9th symphony are also my favourites.
His “Pathetique” Piano Sonata also the
“Emperor Concerto for piano & orchestra.
A must hear is the Fidelio aria from his one and only Opera.
Dios mío, no me canso de escuchar ests obra tan majestuosa que nos regalo Bethoveen, interpretada y dirigida por dos grandes genios, gracias 🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤❤❤
I am nothing but a old country bumpkin with no musical training, but I still find this to be one of the sweetest, most emotion arousing pieces of music ever written. But what else can we expect from Beethoven ?
Being able to feel Beethoven, you are beautiful my friend ♥️
"Mas o que mais podemos esperar de Beethoven?" O seu concerto para piano número 1 em C maior, é o mais sublime, animado, divertido e emocionante.
Jim, we'd all probably be better off as country bumpkins.
@@prometheusrex1 Even country bumpkins can enjoy good music and all of the good things that life offers.
Ich sag nur EINS
😇 GÖTTLICH 😇
🙏💎🙏
🎻
Lost count how often I listen to this piece.
Itzak is just the most miraculous violin talent of the ages.
What a sublime gift to us music lovers! 💓
💗
Un genio assoluto. Il concerto per violino e orchestra sembra che Beethoven l'abbia scritto pensando a quando l'avrebbe eseguito Perlman, il più grande violinista vivente da oltre 50 anni.
Una recensione da applausi Perlman il migliore violinista di sempre 👏👏👏👏
@@alpat7948 concordo pienamente
If you can't hear this you must feel it, beautiful dont you think!? the vibrations you get from this piece.
