Violin was great of course but that viola though!! The viola has a very seductive sound. Its so pleasant to the ears and it just draws me in! It takes great skill to bring out the true sound of a viola and Zukerman did just that!!
It is funny... you watch some performances of Passacaglia and people seems to make haste like hell through some parts and kill the emotion of that music. Than you watch Perlman and Zukerman's performance and feel like "ahhhh that's a performance that is not just pure technique and speed." Not sure if everyone feels the same.
Yeah I think it too, other musicians on RUclips play this piece too speedy just to show they are very good and talented, not to share this pure magic with humans (musicians and not musicians)! And I'm talking by experience, I play violine
Alessandro Vernante youre full of bullshit. these guys rush through parts more so than others. they also mess around with the bowings too much. their bows also squeak too much. the violinist here cant hit the high notes with accuracy. his sound becomes noticebly softer when he has to hit high notes cause he's not confident. theres a korean duo that was only 15 at the time that played this better.
DiamondDragons there is a perfect playing by 2 koreans on yt that are 16. im just not happy how people are saying this is the best playing when its clearly not.
I heard this stringed duet when both Zucherman and Perelman were younger and, to me, there was even more fire in this version of their performance than before. Both are outstanding musicians.
No tengo palabras para describir como me siento cuando escucho este tema está tan llena de emoción, perfectamente decorada. Simplemente la música es hermosa.
I love some people thinking that they're some kind of world-class musicians in comments section As a senior in a performing arts high school, this performance really is beautiful and how this piece is printed, it can be interpreted any way they want. The wanna add ricochet? Then they can add ricochet. They want to slow down some parts or speed up others? Then that's perfectly fine. Sheet music is the road map to true music, the way the musicians interepret it turn it into real music.
Viola often sounds like an old pan, but zuckermann doesn't. I usually prefer the cello-violin version but this is lovely. They are fantastic musicians and great friends and therefore they form a wonderful and brilliant duo.
Wow, pure beauty!! As a cellist I'd have love to have found my favorite performance with a cello, but nope. This is it. If only Zukerman played the cello...
Wunderschön !! Pinchas Zukerman hat auch auf der Viola einen fantastischen Ton, wie auf seiner Violine sonst auch. Sehr innig, ich liebe beide Musiker !! Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video.
この曲を聴くと、なぜか泣きたくなる。とても見事な演奏です。 そして、パールマンの演奏が、先生の曲に近づきつつある。 When I listen to this song, I want to cry for some reason. It's a very nice performance. And Perlman's performance is getting closer to the teacher's song.
Warning: even in this beautiful art, there is a flame war in the comments about its merits of being enjoyed or not. Please avoid this section and, if thou durst to venture further, please wear protective gear. If you don't want to feel upset, I suggest just enjoying the music and having a lovely life
They performing perfect for serious people in an auditorium. I believe that this suite needs the spirit of the badass of the competition between two virtuosos soloists.
At @2:51 Zukarman plays with one hand. And other change page. I do it all the time ….with out viola when reading book. Superb performance , each give other place and when needed help to elevate other. Then together masterpiece. So much emotion they enter to it. And all on tune
Eine schöne Erinnerung an meine Kammermusikjahre. Dieses wunderbare Werk spielte ich mit Christos Polizoides im Rahmen der Eggenberger Schlosskonzerte und in Salzburg im Schloss Mirabell.
Some quick definitions to those who are confused reading this comment thread: spiccato - a bowing technique where the bow bounces on the strings staccato - the notes are played short and separated from each other pizzicato - where you pluck the notes instead of bowing them Hope this helps
MusicInMe I'm assuming he/she meant the cello-violin version of this piece. Julia Fischer played a version with a cellist as her partner, sorry I don't know his name.
Ella Carmen he/she was referring to THESE 2 performers in THIS video. It would make no sense to bring up Julia Fischer's performance without bringing up her name or referring to a different video. Otherwise, that comment makes no sense!
Violin was great of course but that viola though!! The viola has a very seductive sound. Its so pleasant to the ears and it just draws me in! It takes great skill to bring out the true sound of a viola and Zukerman did just that!!

Pedro Pires you should watch Julia Fischer and Daniel Muller Schott
Alessandro Vernante youre full of bullshit. these guys rush through parts more so than others. they also mess around with the bowings too much. their bows also squeak too much. the violinist here cant hit the high notes with accuracy. his sound becomes noticebly softer when he has to hit high notes cause he's not confident. theres a korean duo that was only 15 at the time that played this better.
But at some point you have to ask yourself, what is the point of perfect technique without real musicality behind it?
DiamondDragons there is a perfect playing by 2 koreans on yt that are 16. im just not happy how people are saying this is the best playing when its clearly not.
I love this piece, I can hear it all day and not get tired of it. Only perlman and zukerman can do this perfectly in their own way.
I heard this stringed duet when both Zucherman and Perelman were younger and, to me, there was even more fire in this version of their performance than before. Both are outstanding musicians.
Finally a violist who makes the viola part sound awesome. He killed that part❤️
The violist in my quartet and I are going to try to learn this for our last concert of our senior year
great way to go out of your last way of highschool. I did the same thing with a violinist. I wish you the best of luck.
gonna do the same, i am the violist however. #4moremonths
do it . This is probably my favorite song of all TIME
me too, but i’m a junior and my violist is the senior
Its been 3 years. Did something come of it?
I love these two together. Thank you so much for uploading this. Sublime. Perlman looks like he's having so much fun.
Yes you are right. I love everything about this performance of this piece.
Right?! Itzhak Perlman always looks like he is immersing himself in the piece and it all goes to his face. That's what I love about him
I'm supposed to be getting work done.... This is too distractedly good.
Same lol
Same!!
Your suppose to work music or school??
Oh fuck I MUST PRACTICE don't write a comment!
I'm practices cello rn
No tengo palabras para describir como me siento cuando escucho este tema está tan llena de emoción, perfectamente decorada. Simplemente la música es hermosa.
Así es , está increíble 😍😍
betul.
So hard to stop listening to this play. I am pressing the replay button for one hour.
Fingers like sausages, but such incredible accuracy
2:36
Perlman: Hehe, I am so good
2:36
2:36 best face and moment
😂
Javi18House true😝
You are referring to the lady in red in the background right? I am pretty sure that's Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palen impersonation
I love this piece! I could listen to it a 1,000 times, oh, maybe I already have!
And to think, if not for Star Trek TNG, I'd never had discovered this incredible piece!
+Amelia Bee That's why I'm here as well. What a beautiful piece of music!
Me too. But I also heard it in a full dress Israeli Philharmonic celebration of Israel's 60th (?) year.
The grace note at the end gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
That was heavenly. As an amateur violist I'm moved by such an interpretation 🖤
One of the best pieces for viola and one of the best performers to do so!
I love some people thinking that they're some kind of world-class musicians in comments section

Sheet music is the road map to true music, the way the musicians interepret it turn it into real music.
Incredible to watch Maestro Perlman play. I never see such effortless playing.
I am a novice violin and viola player and am greatly blessed to hear these "God -Gifted"
musicians play with such skill and expression P.T.L.!!!
So fantastic!
pianodudeler Thanks! I definitely will! :)
Jajajajaja...indeed :-) Perfect presence
Nathan Meltzer it is!
It's really amazing how these two masters are just dominating the stage..
This is music which never dies, It reminds you of where music has evolved . I so love it as I love the present music .
Magic. Just magic. I never get tired of seeing this performance.
Their instruments sounded lovely xD Perfect resonance and crystal clear sound
Top notch. It doesn't get better than this.
Viola often sounds like an old pan, but zuckermann doesn't. I usually prefer the cello-violin version but this is lovely. They are fantastic musicians and great friends and therefore they form a wonderful and brilliant duo.
zukerman.'s bowing is fantastic, so slight and elegant... his right hand seems dancing above the strings
aqui hay de todo, melodia, armonia, tecnicas, sentimiento.... amo esta pieza sin duda!!!
Amazing movement economy of the right arm and hand by these two maestros. Total efficiency.
音樂界典範！
百年來最美好的合奏～～～
itzhak, you make it look so damn easy!
Wow, pure beauty!! As a cellist I'd have love to have found my favorite performance with a cello, but nope. This is it. If only Zukerman played the cello...
😂😂 No. Violist are important too
Wunderschön !! Pinchas Zukerman hat auch auf der Viola einen fantastischen Ton, wie auf seiner Violine sonst auch. Sehr innig, ich liebe beide Musiker !! Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video.
この曲を聴くと、なぜか泣きたくなる。とても見事な演奏です。

When I listen to this song, I want to cry for some reason. It's a very nice performance.
And Perlman's performance is getting closer to the teacher's song.
Beautiful, beautiful, fantastic, fantastic! I have no words!
Perlman is out of the ordinary.
Thats so amazing! I listen to this record many times and no I found this clip. The two are great! Thanks for uploading!
this is such an amazing piece! i could watch over and over, and i like the slower tempo. more meaningful, interactive, personal.
I tried to find a violist to do it with me
but it was just too much to *handel*
Lol shhhhhh listen to the music, but very punny
I'd love to try and play it with you! I need to find a violinist too.
So beautiful!! You sound great together as always. Yes that viola is amazing. Almost sounds like a cello!
I love this duo! Gorgeous sound! :)

amazing. two of my favourite musicians
this gives me goosebumps , every single time!
Hearing this makes me soul floating between heaven and earth, wandering in the beautiful unknowns.
omg Zukerman's sound is just godlike 😍😍😍😍 so good
They performing perfect for serious people in an auditorium. I believe that this suite needs the spirit of the badass of the competition between two virtuosos soloists.
Merci pour cette version expressive de la Passacaille
Che meraviglia. Grazie mille
Tout simplement parfait!
At @2:51 Zukarman plays with one hand. And other change page. I do it all the time ….with out viola when reading book.
Superb performance , each give other place and when needed help to elevate other. Then together masterpiece. So much emotion they enter to it. And all on tune
If u can find someone who isn't wearing old fashioned glasses in this video i will give them a prize.
3:50 the lady behind perlman in the audience wearing red
Who cares. They look good that way.
Yeh, that DOES add to the music, right?
Tonetwisters You’d actually be surprised
@@DeuteriumGames 3:50 that's either Sarah Palen or Tina Fey
Amazing...so intense...they are great!!!
Shh... don't comment. Just listen...
um, you just commented...
how could you fuck up something like this?
😂😂
The irony
Look who’s talking.... damnit I just commented
Tocam de mais ,que som lindo de viola
De mais
HELL YEAH.
I refuse.
Mary Zhuang I agree 100% freaking percent. Hell. Yes.
😢😢the begging just pierces my soul
omg so beautiful, it tears my heart to pieces
Eine schöne Erinnerung an meine Kammermusikjahre. Dieses wunderbare Werk spielte ich mit Christos Polizoides im Rahmen der Eggenberger Schlosskonzerte und in Salzburg im Schloss Mirabell.
Outstanding performance!
Best song ever made
I wish I could sticcato like that
It's "staccato" not "sticcato"
Actually - pizzicato (plucked notes)
No, he meant sticcato guys please
Did you mean steccato?
Some quick definitions to those who are confused reading this comment thread:
spiccato - a bowing technique where the bow bounces on the strings
staccato - the notes are played short and separated from each other
pizzicato - where you pluck the notes instead of bowing them
Hope this helps
so genius and so 'fuckin' incredible sound. i just love it. what a perfect precision, unbelievable.
I love this performance so much
Que musica tan hermosa❤!!
watch to cry...not sure why.. it's so great
Wow!!!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!
absolutely beautiful
Nice to see Franz Schubert back on the scene!
I absolutely love Perlman's face at 2:37, it's so easy for him!!
I prefer the depth and greater "soul" of the cello in this piece, wonderful as these two players are performing it
pietalpha2 What cello?
You mean VIOLA?
MusicInMe I'm assuming he/she meant the cello-violin version of this piece. Julia Fischer played a version with a cellist as her partner, sorry I don't know his name.
Ella Carmen he/she was referring to THESE 2 performers in THIS video.

Otherwise, that comment makes no sense!
These guys definitely knows how to play the bratsch and violin thats for sure
This is beautiful
Two living legends
no words. two monsters
The sound of Zukerman is simply amazing. Does anybody happen to know, what Viola he is playing here?
I love so much this masterpiece
Itzhak Perlman is the best!!!
excellent performace, encore encore!
Beautiful, Beautiful stuff....
But you gotta wonder what that guy to the left did to deserve Perlman twatting him with the bow at the end :Z
perlman just saying nice job :)
That guy on the to the the left is just as good and famous as perlman ya know:)
Itzhak Perlman is the same violinist who played the schindlers list theme song! He's awesome
Predivnoooo!
Two genii.
"Due" geni :-)
the viola shines for once
mother of God! Very impressive!
ayyy los amo tanto!
Pure perfection!!
How Wonderful to hear this in their prime..Many Thanks to Patty.
Un excellent duo
AMAZING!! I love them!!
Love this piece.. the opening and 2:54 - 4:03 make me cry....
wow, absolutely amazing!
🎻😍😍😍😍 this is so beautiful 💕💕💕💕 🎻
So beautiful💕
If I didn't forget. No one dare play this in the orchestra after these two guys played because everyone thought this was perfect.
No words.
That's true
great performance
The best of!
