The Four Seasons: Winter • Video Itzhak Perlman plays and conducts the strings of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in Vivaldi's Spring from The Four Seasons.
we listened to this in my music appreciation class. I fell in love! so I came here and see all these hate comments. so sad. just sit back and enjoy the gift of music.
When I read your comment I chuckled because I remembered how "The Preppy Handbook" termed "Music Appreciation, (yes, I'm that Old)": "Clapping for Credit." Gotta admit, that's funny. Btw I took "German Folk Songs" for 1 credit I needed to graduate Honors at UCONN. I do think Dr. Lederer saw the Tall Boy and Pounder cans we were cracking in the back row of the lecture theater seats-but he was German, a Good Man, and let it infuse the moment. It did, 4:30 PM on a lazy afternoon once a week.
I am learning how to play the violin at 44 years old. This man is my inspiration!!!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!! I want so much to play like him some day!!!!!! My husband is getting back into guitar playing and we want to play together and inspire our kids to do the same... MUSIC IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! My father use to play Vivaldi for me as a child and I hold on so dear to those memories...
I started learning violin at a time when there was no Internet or mobile phones. Age is just a number. If you have a will there is a way. All the best.
Well....thousands of hours of practice makes it the easiest thing in the world. Very few are born so talented they just play perfectly...99.9% of us PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.
He always looks like he is have great fun. such joy to listen with eyes closed or listen and watch enthralled in the beauty of the masters performance.
I am now 87 years old and had the opportunity to meet this illustrious musician at The Juilliard School in 1989. I was still teaching music at the time and the day I saw him I was teaching a student the Basque whimsy of Sarasate. I will never forget that day
I've been in two master-classes with perlman, and he really made me fall inlove with classical music. He played the solo in this concerto, and about 200 violin players played the orchestra part from the audience. I don't think I'll ever hear something this powerful.
Ytzak Perlman is a Master of the Violin and the impact of that era, as it was meant to be imagined by the original composer. Very hard to do! It would take centuries to emulate this talent. May he be granted enough life to play to his hearts content! Truly G-d given talent and humor!
I have heard it, when I was 3 years old, and then I asked my parents a violin to my birthday. Tank you, today my violin, it's my life!! When I want to free or when I'm nervous, I listening to Itzhak Perlman concerts, he is the best violinist in the world!!
I was listening to this tune as I drove down the driveway to my house that was under construction. One of the workers asked me..in a THICK country accent...."do you really listen to that Bugs Bunny music" OMG...too funny
Ya' watch out for guys with attitudes. Many carry concealed weapons, looking for a fight. Just crack the window open an inch, say "I also like Jerry Lee Lewis" and drive away. 🚕
I own many firearms, im an NRA member, and im working on my CCW. I grew up classically trained in violin and still enjoy classical music (especially piano) to this day. Fuck stereotypes.
It is never a good ideea to laught at less fortunate people . Maybe he did not had a chance to have a good education . This is why you need free college in the US !!!
I agree. However, this was done before videoing was on phones and commonly accessible, so that and the different generational culture probably played a role
James brap This is a symphony piece. You aren’t supposed to scream, and you clap at the very end of the concert. Contrary to what some people might think, this is not the concert of an artist like Blondie or Guns ‘n Roses.
BEAUTY !!! BRAVO !!! FANTASTIC PERFORMANCES !!! THE BEST !!! BIG, BIG, BIG THANK YOU FOR THE ALL THIS BEAUTY !!! HEART GREETINGS FROM SOFIA - BULGARIA ! WE - ALL MY FRIENDS AND I WAIT YOUR CONCERTS IN SOFIA !!! WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND LIGHT N.Mirkova from Sofia
@@apimpnamedslickback8625 The ritornello theme harbrings the arrival of spring, coupled with each of the themes. The basso continuo is strong in the first movement-absent in the second, it brings a sense of relaxation, present again in the 3rd movement, shows bagpipes with dancing nymphs and sheperds. I am doing RCM Music History.
The job of a conductor Is to make the eyes shine of every single trained musician looking up And the orchestra's job is to make the eyes shine of every single person witnessing Perlman's whole BEING shines And it's contagious HOW LUCKY ARE WE to have such artists amongst us? HOW LUCKY, INDEED
All those boring music criticisms. .. They must be so envious they can't even dream of playing like that... let alone a truly baroque execution... just enjoy life... and music...
Why can we not criticize a performance because its tone and quality is not the best. Just because we do doesnt mean we are all envious or can't play violin. In fact, there are many music conossiers that have never touched a violin in their lives but can recognize beautiful petformances.
Il n'y a pas a dire, il y'a de magnifique musiciens et musiciennes inconnus de beaucoup de personnes qui méritent plus que certains connus actuellement......👏👏👏
Howdy! I saw you say "heaven" and was going to suggest South of Heaven but got lost and thankfully ended up with SLAYER all the same 🤘😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eQpvqPuDJWI.html
Stunningly beautiful, Itzhak Perlman is a Blessing for us all from God. The Israel Philharmonic is brilliant. Vivaldi is a genius who influenced Bach. Bravo!
You are SOOoo right! The dissenters may be the cutups 😜 who were kicked out of small school bands. Or, self-important musicians 😆 who never made 1st violin in any orchestra.
Amazing there's no other word for it my favorite of all the four seasons isn't it amazing vavaldis music didn't become popular until about 100 years ago amazing!!!!!!!
It looks like he is having a lot of fun. I have never seen a violin bow use to conduct a orchestra before. One thing that gets me is classic musicians very often come across so serious looking and don't seem to be enjoying the music they are playing.
Mr. Perlman does have a lot of fun with his music. I did an essay on him for my orchestra class that had me listen to one of the pieces he played (I chose Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D because who doesn’t love Tchaikovsky) and it was a privilege to listen to and watch him play.
The difference between working hard to impress and enjoying the work for it's own sake. He loves the work where it is now a play ground for him and the audience. We are gifted to hear his talent manifest in appreciation of music.
When I was 12 I went to a masterclass with Perlman, and he played this, with few hundred violin students as the orchestra. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Of course I will never find a version that will satisfy me of this concerto...
This proves even the best fall down sometimes. You never know what will happen in a live performance! He had several more off moments, but the emotion was there.
To me, an avid listener of Baroque music, I have found few others with the clarity of tone that Yitzhak Perlman has when he plays. His runs are clear, well articlulated, regardless of tempo, and his legato is gorgeous. Just enjoy.
Psalm 100King James Version (KJV) 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
