In my opinion, this is the absolute best interpretation of this sonata. I always come back here after listening to other recordings. He plays it so passionately and musically. I believe a piece like this, especially the adagio, should be played just so. Thanks Mr Perlman.
I'm very new to classical, sold £3.5k of rock and pop records last year (just couldn't get it excited about it anymore), I still listen to Jazz, this remind me of Art Tatum learning piano from a recording of a duet - nobody told him it was a duet! I really find I'm able to focus with this music on - and people aren't rude to each-other in the comments! ;-)
Jon Wild this is just my rather egotistical opinion but classical is REAL music. Everything else is second rate of classical :P But yes there are a lot of stereotypes that classical is boring. But once you get into it. You can't listen to anything else! Pop and rock are so amateur In comparison! Welcome to the dark side :P
He's amazing. I adore him, probably a little too much: last week he was crossing the street in his chair, and I was standing in the curb cut like an idiot, staring at him like "Woah you're Itzhak Perlman!" and he was looking at me like "If you don't get out of the curb cut I'm going to get hit by a cab." I'd never inconvenienced a genius before! Especially not one of this caliber. Not gonna lie, it made me feel sort of special.
The first 4 minutes of this Bach masterpiece are painfully beautiful and touching. And Perlman does it justice by giving it soul packed with emotion. Many thanks.
this is the first time ever hearing bach , and being a musician for over 10 years stubbornly listing to only certain genres & artists i thought i would give it a try. wow i cant believe the euphoria i have received from this magical piece... the composition is exceptionally good , and the chills sent through my body and face is unreal 5/5. I can feel a classical binge on the way thanks for the post my man :)
this is the mastery, the level that every musician should try to reach, of course if you consider your self professional musician. it is an absolute business card, a class level if you can play that. Every single note should sounds , have those penetration waves
See, the reason a lot of people are not that interested in Bach's music (or downright hate it) is that Bach takes some skill to master! I grew up disliking Bach because all I heard of his music were sub-par performances or clips. Until I heard Itzhak Perlman for the first time.
I'm not sure that you will be able to play this amazing piece working only 45 minutes a day. if you want to play it, for me (i'm 15 years old) you have to study 3 hours or more a day and maybe you will be able to do it decently.
you rather do or do not. Once you decided to become a violinist you must be able to play all this Sonatas and Partitas of Bach. These are truly the business card of professional musician.
Maestro Perlman pulls this music toward his genuine reality, his time and place, his unique life experience. He does not, in my opinion, try to or pretend to be in somebody else's shoes, particularly somebody who wrote this 292 years ago. I'm willing to stand corrected if this is not so. With all due respect to Baroque players who, through much investigation, offer us that other and much appreciated opinion via their interpretation of this great music.
@moemoeloe well, it's his interpretation, he is such a great artist that he can really play it the way he wants. It's not said, that you have to play Bach in a baroque way. And as Shostakovich said " A great piece of music is beautiful regardless of how it is performed. Any prelude or fugue of Bach can be played at any tempo, with or without rhythmic nuances, and it will still be great music."
We are lucky to breathe the same air and listen to this man.

El violín son cuatro cuerdas con alma. Sólo unos pocos han sido capaces de tocarlo de manera que, después de muchos años de estudio y práctica, olvidándose de la técnica han llegado al corazón de quienes, sin ser músicos, tenemos el corazón de músicos ( y en mi caso la vocación frustrada de músico... !Ay aquellos años en los que la educación musical en España no existía y que parece que ahora vuelven de mano de un Gobierno irresponsable!)

The emotion this piece draws from the listener is so complicated. Bach's music tends to be described as enigmatic in that you can't tell what Bach was feeling when writing a particular piece. The reason for that is the emotion is truly mixed. The happiest times are followed by the saddest times then up again. It is not a pure joy or pure sadness. That is the human experience.
What a magnificent piece! The few I've heard on RUclips play it very strong--so-to go back to Nikcevic Boris's comment-we are listening to Bach in a very strong creative storm. Moments like these---hard to find---and the average composer cannot pick these off a tree......beautiful, serious music........
One of my favourite recordings of this movement. As if he was was playing several violins, of different makers, at the same time. He makes extremely good use of the positive acoustic, simulating a Baroque organ, despite somewhat Romantic bowing.
No need to. It is difficult to learn I had a very very hard time learning it too. Just needs practice. Especially the first part when it comes to the rythm, and the second part when it comes to balancing two notes. Just practice.
Я знаю ,что не первый затрону тему о феномене Баха.Если судить с точки зрения нашего времени это всё гениально.Но ведь творчество композитора тесно связано с развитием всего общества.И вот здесь -загадка.
Probably because I am most used to it, I favour the guitar transcription. For one thing, the arpeggiated chords seem to have been written for a plucked string instrument (we do know that JSB sometimes played the lute). All of which is not, by any means, to imply that the violin version, especially as performed here, is anything less than wonderful.
Nothing, but all of bach's pieces do. And they try and say that the demonstration of flawless skill in counterpoint or the amount of notes is overwhelming, but if you listen and you actually know what you are listening to, there's a beginning, a fine and brilliant structure, and a definite coda.
@xempress you might be going a bit extreme with that notion. if a violinist who had no clue about sound or tone quality played this, he would crush the beauty of it.
@Haggismaker violins have four strings, and Bach writes here for four voices. The points where all four strings are written for simultaneously are impossible to play without a slight delay so a slight break in tempo is inevitable unless the notes are given very short duration, which then would sound unbalanced. Having said that it`s worth checking out the recording Menhuin made of this in 1935, for me anyway, a performance with more depth to it than I`ve heard from anyone since.
I would say that Shostakovich is wrong on that one. A musician's emotion, passion and connection with the piece are absolutely essential to its beauty. After all, these things give rise to music in the first place.
In my opinion, this is the absolute best interpretation of this sonata. I always come back here after listening to other recordings. He plays it so passionately and musically. I believe a piece like this, especially the adagio, should be played just so. Thanks Mr Perlman.
listen this one and tell me whats ur fav
ruclips.net/video/MRKy3kX8XUM/видео.html
I'm learning this with him. He's the best !
for real
as a violinist tbh, its a bit painful to hear so many vibrato, position shifting and none-arpeggio chords in a baroque piece
Absolutly the most beautiful peace I’ve ever heard ! 🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
one violin sounding like two violins. That's the genius of Bach carried by the genius of Perlman's playing
wow! that's mind blowing
Jon Wild one of my friend didn't believe it was one violin playing. She demanded "evidence" lol

4th movement is not included cause youtube didn't allow me to upload a clip that exceeds more than 15 minutes at that time. Sorry about that^^
It's OK
Thanks a lot for this

oh man +Colour Stream have you got a treat in store for you. What do you play?
Colour Stream once you go Bach you can't go back. Bach is a drug.
this is the mastery, the level that every musician should try to reach, of course if you consider your self professional musician. it is an absolute business card, a class level if you can play that. Every single note should sounds , have those penetration waves

His sound sounds like velvet. It amazes me.
The world is so sad. . I try to go into the sound of serenity, it realy comforts n lifts up my soul. .
The Adagio always brings me to tears. Ugh, i so wish i could play the violin...
+Crystal Just start. You can never be too old. If you have perseverance and 15 minutes a day, you'll be able tot do it :)
+HappyTree do 45min a day and u can do alot more lol.
The problem with that is it'll feel more like work in the beginning than something you do as a hobby and enjoy. Few people would continue for long
I'm not sure that you will be able to play this amazing piece working only 45 minutes a day. if you want to play it, for me (i'm 15 years old) you have to study 3 hours or more a day and maybe you will be able to do it decently.

Thank goodness for Itzhak Perlman! He plays things the way they were meant to sound.
Высокое мастерство!!! Мое восхищение!!! БРАВО!!!
Bach says ,
His powerful performance is beyond description , immeasurable and unfathomable and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Stop counting. Listen to Perlman, close your eyes, and feel it, phrase by phrase.
Sylvia Kraemer I tried that and my teacher yelled at me
@@brendanho3669 same lol
same omg I’m not the only one!
Yes, it is amazing.

Magnifique interprétation! Maestro..... Je suis toujours émue par tout ce que Vous faites 🎻... Ce Concerto je aimée beaucoup aussi ! Is Amazing! 🌺
In the hands of perlman everything sounds as it was composed in the romantic time.

I love this song!

beautiful performance i am learning this piece at the moment
Me too
yea me too. i studied 4 months the 1st movement
I'm learning the piano version rn in a duet with my teacher and it just takes my breath away😭❤
Very beautiful, amazing! Maestro Itzhak Perlman.I love your interpretation..... You are the BEST.I like You very much 🎻🌹❤️
One of my favorite bach pieces
Bach is together wonderful Maestro Itzhak Perlman, you are so great, Hy is together my favorite violinist 🎻❤️🌹
That powerful and tragic introduction...one can tell where Brahms got his influence.
The emotion this piece draws from the listener is so complicated. Bach's music tends to be described as enigmatic in that you can't tell what Bach was feeling when writing a particular piece. The reason for that is the emotion is truly mixed. The happiest times are followed by the saddest times then up again. It is not a pure joy or pure sadness. That is the human experience.
addi wei Surely you can't disagree that those first eleven notes are heart-wrenching, even if the sonata resolves itself later on.
+Raptor “Rubinstein” Jesus the first eleven notes are so powerful, I want to nut my pants lol. So emotional, so RAW.
addi wei I dare hope you aren't mocking me.
Raptor Jesus I completely agree, it digs deep and it's so powerful, the introduction makes me shed a tear everytime
Спасибо,перехватывает дыхание
En 05:43 le mete un re de más, pero no importa es un excelente violinista, uno de los mejores!!!
+Gustavo Sotomayor Fonzalida Si te refieres al unísono, es correcto así :) No he notado ningún otro re adicional
Holy crap this is amazing. Layers and layers of melodies that just continue weaving into one another. What a fantastic interpretation.
This is the most wonderful performance ever!!!
It's 2 a.m. and you find this gem among the suggestions.... Obviously, the listening starts with the volume at full blast
Excellent quality. Best version I have heard in a long while.
NO doubt to adore to this great musician... but my heart and soul beats for Michael Rabin!

So beatiful! Only Mr.Perlam can play as is "A great Master of the Violin".Thanks YouTybe.
☀️ THANKYOU MAESTRO ITZHAK F.☀️
bravo!!! i'm playing it and wowow wowowow how much better is this recording how could anyone not like it????
thank you so much for sharing!
That is just lovely, what a sound!
absolutely brilliant and outstanding playing
The king of violin
such a great piece. I have learned it technically the only thing bothering me is learning the most expressive way to play it.
+Mavil I envy you, I have so much difficulty learning this piece to begin with, it's insane XD.
No need to. It is difficult to learn I had a very very hard time learning it too. Just needs practice. Especially the first part when it comes to the rythm, and the second part when it comes to balancing two notes. Just practice.
+Mavil It's funny because it's actually a pretty slow piece but the notes are freakin' crazy and it looks way more complicating than it really is.
Mavil you'll get there when you cry at the introduction, that's when you'll know you've understood it
When you cry 20 minutes before the introduction because you know what's coming
Im learning thes piece in thes moment i thinks that is my favorite :)
***** great *-*
***** fantastic -...-
***** im of Russia and what about you *-*
***** woww japan is vary good in music, well like russia
***** yesss it's true
Bach may not have been deaf but he defnitely knew grief in his lifetime.
Muito lindo e agradavel ouvir essas musicas
Я знаю ,что не первый затрону тему о феномене Баха.Если судить с точки зрения нашего времени это всё гениально.Но ведь творчество композитора тесно связано с развитием всего общества.И вот здесь -загадка.
Bach has an unmistakable sound
Das ist unglaublich.........
So soulful.. It went right through into my heart..
Beautiful ! Thank you for posting :)
I agree, the most wonderful!
How could one possibly listen to this and question the existence of God?

beautiful!!!!!!
Beautiful,thanks !!!
es una belleza de interpretacion bravo maestro
when u trying 2 play dis and failing miserably lmao
Pøny oh hey fren |-/
Thank you... free\'s my soul...
Muito talentoso.. um dia chego lá.
The piano version of this one is also amazing. Very spiritual piece. I would recommend the recording of Angelika Zabel if you can get her recording

If you told me that there was a Violinist who plays more expressively than this guy... you'd be wrong ;)
Tristan Kersten heard of maxim vengerov? he defines expressive playing
Dommage qu'il manque le presto (dernier mouvement de la première sonate pour violon seul de Bach)
Thanks a bunch. 😇
Heavenly !!!!!!
Великолепно!
He plays this so beautiful, I'm starting to learn this and I'm not 1/8 as good. I'd love to have a sound like this
@xempress you might be going a bit extreme with that notion. if a violinist who had no clue about sound or tone quality played this, he would crush the beauty of it.
Great Master of Vilion..
Beautiful quality.
listen to Bach ... not the performers
Heavonly
Sonia odude *Diabolical
Heavenly, not "heavonly".
When a person says that a piece by Bach has no beginning or no end, that it is all a mindless melodic collection of notes, I show them this.
Or just show them the door.
Belissimo!!!
Simply amazing!
Beautiful

He is very nice violinist
좋아염
Thank you
Sublime....
Bach & Perlman, complete and total genius. What else is there to know?
Il y a deux sortes de musiciens : ceux qui arrivent à rendre une sonate de Bach sale, et les autres.
just amazing!
I would say that Shostakovich is wrong on that one.
A musician's emotion, passion and connection with the piece are absolutely essential to its beauty. After all, these things give rise to music in the first place.
4:25
I came here for this part
Incredible!!!
Great playing
Молодец!!))))
Amazing!
Did Perlman played the Presto part (the fourth part)?
Thanks for upload (:
4:26 2nd movement
Thanks
