Felix Mendelssohn was a true genius and Itzhak Perlman is a true virtuoso. Nothing else to say.

Itzhak Perlman's violin is his very soul speaking out to us through every note of Mendelssohn's composition. What an amazing rendering to soothe my day to day battle with cancer and the dread of my impending death. God bless you Perlman.

I adore this man’s playing. I could listen and watch him all day. I love the way his face shows how much he loves playing with SO many emotions evident on his face ! Congratulations from an old woman aged 82 , dying From M N D , living in NZ.

Grandfather of Mendelssohn was famous German philosopher, so Mendelssohn’s father used to say “ I am the son of the famous father and father of the famous son”.

Sitting with my 92 year old patient who is between worlds. This magnificent, divine work quiets her soul. Thank you

There are not enough words in the English language to adequately express my heart when I hear such divine music so exquisitely rendered.

I have never liked the introduction of this concert. But, now, is my first time I enjoy the beginning of this concerto. Usually, musicians play too fast the beginning, that make me feel “nervous”. But, the peaceful feeling that Perlman gives at the beginning made me fell in love. I love Perlman’s playing.

Itzhak Perlman is just perfect. The best violinist of the 20th century.

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

Ich verlor den Atem. Himmlisch. Maestro, Sie waren für mich ein Vorbild. Trotz Krankheit haben Sie nicht aufgegeben. Sie sind ein weltberühmter Künstler, ich nur eine Dorfkirchenorganistin, aber ich habe trotz Gehbehinderung auch nicht aufgegeben. Gott segne Sie, Musik ist eine Freude, die mit uns bis in die Ewigkeit Schreiten. Danke.

Just wonderful. Tears of gratitude for Itzhak and his talent and passion for the violin!

So effortless....even when he had aged he didn’t lose a thing! The man is a true force of nature, with such a joyful heart!

Some people are born gifted for music. Itzhak Perlman is one of them.

I think, I never get tired of listening to Itzhak and Mendelson , God bless them for the joy they bring me.

This is one of my favourite violin concerti and played by this blessed musician it transports one to a better world. Bless the composer and this beautiful man who can make the music come alive 🙏 and bless you for putting this beautiful thing together 🙏

The best and most beautiful things in the word can not be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

It is absolutely sublime! How lucky we are to be able to enjoy this!!

During the "Allegro Molto Vivace", whatever his age, his facial expressions match the playfulness and fun of his virtuosity of the written music. Just a joy to watch and hear...!🙂

Stunning performance!! ... I always get emotional listening to this....What a great talent. Great orchestra as well.... One of the greats.....

One of the violin maestros who just grows more magnificent with age. A refined tone second to none with a sweet & powerful sorority that is sheer bliss. Thank you Mr Perlman💜

I always thought Perlman made playing the violin look so effortless. Just the way he holds the bow so lightly and how his fingers move up and down the fingerboard with ease. It’s really amazing to watch, I can only aspire to one day play the violin so calmly and confidently.

AWESOME!!! Such exciting performances at different stages of his life ... I love Itzhak Perlman!!

ltzhak Perlman’s violin work has always been so sweet and masterful. What beautiful tone. Mendelssohn’s concerto and Mr. Perlman’s prowess on the violin make this performance nothing less than delicious! Played it several times in a row.

An incredible performance by soloist, conductors, and orchestras. It is not very often that the violin's final arpeggio can be heard from bottom to top - but here it is clear and remarkable, not drowned out by the orchestra. For me, this was a real tear-jerker. Thank you for posting.

イツァーク・パールマン 澄んでいて、繊細でかつ奥深い音色。ヴァイオリンの音がこんなにも美しいと、彼の演奏を聴いてあらためて感じました。何度聴いても飽きない演奏です😊

Гениальное исполнение гениального произведения ........праздник для души ......

Non sono intenditore, ma quanto è bella questa musica: veramente eleva l'anima!

there is like always this sweetness in the sound whenever he plays. while it is fast it is not mechanical and the notes just so nicely and smoothly. truly amazing!

Terrific, high energy fast passages when younger and soft mellow slow passages when older, very thoughtful compilation, like father and son playing together.

Absolutamente maravilloso!!! Si, existe el paraiso con solo escuchar a este genio, produce emociones incomparables.

My heart and soul is singing with your violin master Perlman!.....Thank you indeed.

One of my favorite violin concertos, and one of the finest violinists ever. But this video is absolutely remarkable--the editing is fantastic, just like Itzhak, it doesn't miss a beat.

Never thought anyone could get such perfection out of a violin. Truly remarkable and blessed talent.

Wonderful interpratation great violinista ishaac perelman!!! Very Good the best Bravissimo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙌🙌🙌🙏♥️👍thanks!!! I love this concert!!!

Ich kann dieses wunderschöne Violinkozert immer und immer wiede hören. Ein Genuss. Von Jugend an (heute70) ist es für mich prsönlich das schönste.

🎻Сказать, что это великолепное произведение с виртуозным живым великолепным, совершенным, и от ДУШИ Исполнением, Итсхака, - ни сказать ни что!!!👋👋👋 -почему люди иногда не могут выразить словами свои чувства ⁉ -потому, что наш язык беден(ну понятно, есть люди с большим уровнем словарного запаса, поэтическим даром), но почему так люди обычно говорят: "У меня нет слов", потому, что душа, это совсем иное, гораздо больше, богаче, шире и т.п. Из этой же серии, высказывания: "Это нужно было видеть", "Это нужно было слышать" и тп. БРАВО, БРАВО, БРАВИСИМО!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This concert is full of charm. The music is sublime and Itzhak Pearlman shows a tremendous ability to touch us.

Que regalo!! Hermosísimo!! Mostrarnos al virtuoso I.Perlman en dos edades diferentes, pero con el mismo brío y talento q lo caracterizan !!vídeo impecable!! Gracias mil !!!

Maestro Perlman , no hace falta verlo, al oir su violín, es usted, interpretando las grandiosas obras!!!Mi admiración total!!!

Божественная музыка в божественном исполнение. Спасибо всему оркестру и дирижеру...

My favorite violinist! Unbelievable that he can play at exactly the same tempo whether he was younger or his present self!

Que locura. Que extraordinario!!! No hay palabras para expresar todo esto. Mendelsson y su concierto y el gênio de Itzhak Perlman. Además de su encanto personal! Fabuloso!!! Graciaaas!!!

This is the most beautiful violin solo with orchestra I have ever heard! Thank you...

I wonder if Mr Perlman has seen this compilation himself? It’s wonderful. So is the Concerto. It’s my favourite. My dad was a violinist, and played the Mendelssohn the most. 🎻

I feel I am in heaven when I listen to him playing.

Itzhak Perlman & Orchestra gives us a brilliant performance! The beauty of the resonance radiates the vibrant intensity, powerful dynamism and clarity of the melody of the violin solo and the orchestra. Just Marvelous...

The great violinist Itzak Perlman par excellence! He, I believed has been divinely inspired to transmit the lovely notes created by Mendelssohn to those who emotionally internalize the music to their hearts including mine! Thank you great violinist. You are heavenly inspired!🙏🙏🙏🎹🎹🎼🎼♥️👏👏👏🎉🎉🎻🇨🇦t

Bring tears of joy watching and listening to this! What a gift to humanity! Thank you Mr Perlman! Also to a person who posted this

It's so wonderful. It seems you are in heaven when you hear these beautiful sounds. The violinist is a genius.

The passion in his performance is exquisite not like any other, the finest control in his art, he makes the violin sing, like his soul is on Fire 🔥♥️🥰💐 Bravo 👏👏👏🌹

Thank you so much! Love Itzhak Perlman!!!

Благодаря интернету я могу побывать на любом концерте и услышать великую музыку величайших музыкантов. В удивительное время живём.

Besides the magnificent violinist Pearlman is the expressions on his face indicate that the spirit of music is inside him playing with his emotions. Something magical.⚘

Mendelssohn invented a music therapy (for me), but listening and watching those artists is great gift

БРАВО! Брависсимо!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💝💝💝💝

instant goosebumps... so beautiful its hard to describe

This is WONDERFUL - and left me utterly moved.

One of the greatest violonists in the world

Perlman really loves to play his violin He loves every part of his instrument. He is actually singing through his violin. It is so very expressive My daughter Josie aspires to play like this. What an artist this man is .... A gift❤

Thank you for spending time making this video 🌸

Обожаю этот Концерт Мендельсона. Итцак, все произведения в Вашем исполнении, мне очень нравятся. БРАВО ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ‼️‼️‼️

Вы гениально играете! Я начала заниматься на скрипке с 13 лет. Это уже очень поздно. Однако очень трудилась,поступила в Одесское муз.училище и на 3 году обучения играла концерт Мендельсона. Как Вы потрясающе играете! Дух захватывает! Позвольте подарить Вам стихи: Как вихрь ворвался в Душу скрипки звук, Здесь ветер,солнце,нежный звук капели! И взлет умелых виртуозных рук, Вновь слышится дыхание апреля! Какая точность,мудрость,глубина! И сердце вторит звукам во Вселенной! Нежданно в этот мир пришла весна! Нам Гений рассказал о сокровенном! С уважением. Татьяна Сокол

If you don’t do film editing for a living then you really should. The transitions between the different concerts were invisible and flawless. Excellent work. And thank you so much for going to such an incredible effort to create such an amazing video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Maestro Perlman has been "Top of the Heap" for 40 years!😅❤

Pearlman is the best violinist I like. last year I was hospitalized . His music accompanied me and healed me. He played with his heart and soul that's why his music always moved thousands thousands of people. for many years his music accompany me to sleep, for which I thank him wholeheartedly.

УДИВИТЕЛЬНАЯ МУЗЫКА , ПРЕКРАСНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ , НЕОБЫКНОВЕННОЕ ВПЕЧАТЛЕНИЕ ! ❤❤❤

世界で一番好きな演奏ですわ…

Itzak: He's unique. Incomparable. My favest musician EVER. He plays with his whole being. 💖💖

Les notes sont d'une grande pureté. Un grand bravo et un grand merci à Itzhak Perlman !

I adore Mendelssohn and I just as much adore Itzhak. Genius interpreting genius.

This is why I love the violin. It’s like it literally pierces your hear

Mi concierto para violín y orquesta Favorito Opus 64 Mendellson, lo escucho desde hace 5 décadas ❤️😍👍😢😢

Il n'y a pas de mots pour dire l'emmerveillement ressenti, et l'administration pour le violoniste et l'orchestre. Quelle interprétation !!!! Merci. Et Bravo !!!! Olivier

Itzhak Perlman is a genius of the violin .My reference .Bravo also for marvelous orchestra an conducting. Perfect sound. .A pleasure for the senses this video.💜💜💜

Наслаждение для души!

Marvelous! I feel as if I just walked into that magical Tunnel of time:)) Thanks for sharing such a wonderful treat!

The Master. What amazes me is that he allows the listener to get lost in the MUSIC and forget him. True humility.

Thank you ,this is the miracle of music

These were brilliant and consistent performances by the soloist and the different conductors/orchestras-Mendelssohn as he deserves to sound. Thankyou all concerned,

Amazing he makes it look so easy and flawless. I've watched many very fine violinist struggle with this piece...

Sentimental, hasta las lágrimas, como le da vida a este instrumento y lo hace gemir, suspirar y hablar, que maravilla gracias infinitas.

What a blessing to listen to Itzhak Perlman'violin. His music transport one to a place of serenity

The first time I heard Itzhak Perlman, or even heard of his name was when he was performing a live concert at Lincoln Center in 1981 that was aired on PBS where he performed Mendelssohn's E-Minor. Superb!

Genius

Какая прекрасная работа автора видео! Не меняется душа человека, не меняется восприятие прекрасного, а если и меняется, то только в лучшую, более тонкую, щемящую сторону! Прекрасная музыка! Самые светлые ощущения! Спасибо огромное !

No other violinist has matched the genius of Perlman in this piece ... A matrimony of talents displayed... so so enjoyable.

Amo la Música en casi todas sus expresiones. Este Concierto para violín y orquesta de Mendelson es Maravilloso y la Interpretacion de este Moustro del violín es Genial. Llega a tocar mi Alma. Gracias, muchas gracias a ambos.

오케스트라를 통째로 어깨에 들고 있는 젊은날과, 약간 비스듬히 기대어 있는 노년의 펄만. 아름답습니다. 고맙습니다

Sir ITZHAK Pearlman is, in my estimation, the most dynamic quintessential & miraculous violinist of our time! Sheer Perfection to listen to & absorb the exactness of his talent! So Refined & Soothing to the soul! Your love for music is expressed in your face & delivery! Thank you for your God-given Quality and expertise!! BLESSINGS to you sir!

I saw Michael Tilson Thomas @ 40 years ago when he conducted the Houston Symphony. I enjoy watching his subtle style and facial expressions, although no one can match Itzak's animated face and unequalled mastery! I was also fortunate to see the protege's master (Isaac Stern) when he toured for his 60th birthday- I am so sad that many of the younger generations were not raised with a love of Classical music and, instead, have been fed a steady stream of discordant, thumping and obscene TRASH.

Αριστουργημα.Η ομορφοτερες εκτελεσεις του εργου.❤❤❤

Magnificent! Astounding superlative talent! The tones coaxed out through the Maestro's fingers on his Stradivarius oh so gorgeous!

One of the best videos I've ever seen. One of the four aces for this superb instrument, the violin, Perlman ( the other three, Menuhin, Oistrakh and Heifetz). The most beautiful masterpiece ever written for this instrument: Felix Mendelssohn and that 24 karat gold gem, his Violin concerto in E minor. That second movement always makes me travel in a celestial imaginary journey from which I wouldn't want to come back. It leaves me speechless every time I listen to it. GIANT MENDELSSOHN.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Itzak Perlman live several times in my life, and also the wonderful fortune of running into him at The Palm Court, back when The Plaza was really The Plaza.

The tone of Maestro Perlman violin is so clear and resonant.... Invariably I lift my head and sharpen my years when the version with MTT in San Francisco comes around.... what a treat this was! A masterclass for all students working on intonation, projection and tonality...

Saw a recent concert with a Jewish cantor and it was amazing to hear him play klezmer tunes and speak to various artists about their lives. He is a beautiful person and a great musician.

Absolutely love the expressions the older Perlman makes while playing the last 60 seconds of the concerto - the beauty of those notes shows on his face ! Amazing man.

What an achievement to combine parts of those wonderful concerts into one Beauty !!!!!

This historical ensemble is just marvelous and reveals the perfection of the great Perlman. Curiously enough, his performance reminds the beauty of the finest pearls

❤ O yes 😍 lovely 😍 amazing talent stay blessed aameen ❤️ love from 🇵🇰 Faisalabad ❤️pakistan ❤️ 🇵🇰
