John Williams: Schindler´s List Theme - Itzhak Perlman 

Mano, como ela não te falou isso antes

Every descendant of the Holocaust feels this on some level. Its a scar every single one of us feels through the generations. Its one thing to be moved by the Holocaust. Its another to know that this atrocity was aimed at your own people, but to know that your very family were victims is something else entirely. Many of us who descend from Shoah survivors feel residual pain because of this. I believe I can speak for many like me when I say we feel a sense of responsibility to make the most of the gift of life, in honor of our ancestors who were never given the same opportunity. For us, the Holocaust is a fact of life. We grew up knowing what 'concentration camp' was before our friends heard about it in schools. As the rest of our peers gasp in horror, we simply sigh in remembrance. For some, it is a proud thing to be related to a survivor. It means that our very existence serves as a reminder that the monsters who tried to erase all of us failed. For others, it is a quiet pain that they choose to keep to themselves as the knowledge of what their family went through is something that, for one reason or another, they find too painful to think about. This is likely why she couldn't bear to watch and broke down so badly. She feels the pain

My dad was with 82nd in WWII. His troop liberated one of the death camps, Wobbelin. His fellow soldier, brother in arms, was Brooklyn Jewish, one generation removed from Europe. I wept hysterically when I first heard this piece and everytime since. I was born long after the war and my father never spoke to anyone but his fellow soldiers about the war. I only learned years after my father died when I spoke to one of his fellow troopers that “liberated” this camp with him. I now understand why I react so strongly. We carry the genes of memory and trauma in our core.

​@@janisgage9441, interessant. Wöbbelin liegt im Bundesland Mecklenburg.

PRECISELY !!!! AND I =82= YEARS OLD GRANDMA RESPECT YOU FOR. YOUR WONDERFUL = EMOTIONAL REACTION !!!!! SAME. . PAINFUL MEMORIES I AND ALL ARMENIANS. HAVE. BECAUSE OF TURKS = WHO. KILLED. 1 AND HAFE. . MILLION. PEOPLE. !!!!! .

That is so well said, you put into words just how it is. Xx

I could not keep my eyes from Mr. Perlman's face during this... very emotionally. This is certainly one of Williams best scores.. and Spielbergs best films. Strange, how Spielberg could do two so different movies in the same year (1993) - Schindler's List and Jurassic park

Never heard a violin cry like that before.

Then.........what?

I can’t even 😭😭😭😭 not today😭😭😭😭

Hope is a fair word for it. I always came away feeling that the undertone was resiliency

No lo podría definir mejor

A new hope.

Sadly I don’t think people will understand I hope I don’t but the UK 🇬🇧 are now woke I’m not flying the flag

> Those who perished, didn’t do so in vain. What do you mean?

An instrument is but a tool, and in the hands of an exceptional player it becomes an extension of them. Any violinist could play a stratovarius, but it won't make them a better player. It's all in how you use it

It’s Stradivarius!

A good performance, but many others can match the quality and sound. How would you even know, if you didnt hear all violinists on the planet?

It’s like he is the violin. There’s no separation. It’s a window to his soul

Ennio moricane was alive when he filmed Schindler's list

@@mmmssbb23 As good? Totally. Better? Debatable. He lost some of his spunk as he got older.

What a graceful thing to say!

@@mmmssbb23 morricone was never better than john williams. he never quite had williams' gift for complex orchestrations that rose and fell many disparate melodies that found each other to form a beautiful whole. they both were geniuses at leitmotifs, but i'm confident in saying the brilliance of empire strikes back; the pure musical joy of jurassic park was never in maestro morricone.

@@oldfrend What about Howard Shore? Michael Kamen?

Yes! His soul is in each note! Nobody comes close!

At the same time he plays it with Soil, a stradivarius renowned for its powerful notes.He is the owner

best violinist around right now, Andre Reiu is second

itzhak stern.

@@AlonsoRules Andre Reiu is second best? You are clearly uneducated

❤️

Thank you for sharing this memory.

We in Europe are your dad very grateful for the freedom he and his fellow buddies provided us🙏 Thank you

I watched a show that featured a WWII veteran talking to young people about his experience in liberating one of the camps. You could tell it affected him deeply.

@@zxy78267 link?

Conductor is Gustavo Dudamel, I’m a big fan, by his 30s he was considered one of the best conductors in history.

This is good but Beatles She Loves You is better than this.

Besides Heifetz.........

@@jubielhalasz295 besides Paganini ;)

@@aureliebeckers2626 That's so obvious it's assumed. 👍

@@jubielhalasz295 I think she meant best violinist alive but that's questionable

I couldnt help it

@Nicholas Moore 👋

No thank you. I'm a married woman and I don't have friendships with men. Thank you for the compliment however. Have a safe and happy New Year.

Agreed x

The Jurassic Park theme was one of the greatest movie songs ever recorded!

Both epic. Enough said.

@@mikhailchelpon260 If I remember right, Spielberg made Jurassic Park first because there was no way he could make it after Schindler's List with how heavy the film is. There's another story where Robin Williams would call every week and talk with Spielberg so he could get through filming.

he is...

Yeah he is probably in the top 3

Whats the film?

@@Jeez208 Schindler's List

@@Jeez208 don’t watch it unless you’re ready to cry

Of course. This piece is brilliant, even by Williams' standards. Even if he had not composed anything else THIS piece would be enough to set him apart, but ON TOP of all that Perlman's expression of it is unique and very, very special. It has soul.

Lots of Jewish people are among the great composers, musicians, artists, painters, scientists, philosophers etc which makes me wonder God must've love them very much He granted them with endless talents. This might be an unpopular opinion and many will hate it, but I admire them, in that particular way.

His parents are survivors.

His parents, both jewish, immigrated from Poland to present day Israel in the mid-1930s. I think this is close to Itzhaks heart, because if they would have waited a couple of years with the move who knows what would have happened. He had probably a lot of family that died.

sadly, almost every Jew alive today has had some relative who was murdered in the Holocaust

I am American and I have a letter of my great grandfather from WW2 to my grandfather that makes me weep everytime since I know it was difficult for everyone during the war and the raw emotion during the letter that is never seen in my family is surprising. Let's hope our world never comes to another point like that.

You're maybe German but you are not a Nazi. Nazisme was an ideology not a race. I feel ashamed when Ik walk thru the Dutch exhibition in one of the baraks in Auschwitz. People flagging and welcoming the Nazi occupiers coming into Amsterdam. It was a disgrace to mankind and we may never forget what hate towards the other can do. It destroys. Always!

If one believes the Bible one understands it will happen again...But YHWH will not allow Israel to perish...Shalom..

no need to feel guilty, Not all German are Nazis. You are you, your action what defines you as an individual. have a great day

The guilt is not yours. It belongs only to those that perpetrated those dreadful acts.

Very well put Mr. Michalak - very, very well put. Outstanding, as a matter of fact, in my book.

Williams won his fifth Oscar for the music for this film. Perlman played the violin in the original soundtrack.

Expressed beautifully Marek.

Yes 💯 %

Hymn to the fallen as well

Night

Omg I read this book 2 years ago in my 10th-grade class, and this scene made me cry while in class, and now it made me cry again while listening to this beautiful piece, thank you for remaining me such touching scene I had forgotten.

@@Ywtwer33334 Please, share the title of the book. Thank you.

R. Ernie it’s called The night by Elie Wiesel

@@Ywtwer33334 Thank you. I'll get the book. Here is one for you - "Eyewitness Auschwitz" by Filip Muller.

I have been putting it on loop... over and over. Often all night.

It has nothing to do with isrhell😅😅

So much pain in this ,,,but there's an underlying tone of strength and resiliency....❤

@@salaha.b2438it has everything to do with Israel. Four of my friends were murdered on October 7th. Never again is now, and this time jews are defending themselves.

@@salaha.b2438Au contraire. It has everything to do with Israel. What’s with “isrhell?” Aw, you’re trying to get the word hell into the name-of the country? You just be so proud that you shared something that someone so stupid, that isn’t of your creation. What are you, in sixth grade?

it can't

and yet it does in this video, for those of us whose ears are properly attuned

@@mosescordovero8163 it doesnt cry real human tears r u jacked in the head?

frankList is jacked in the head

@@mosescordovero8163 no u

Amen

We won't because we can't. If we do, we are not human.

you just gave this song a whole new meaning for me, thank you from two years later

Me too 😢

OMG 😲 this is the best definition of music touch my soul..

:(

I cry every time I hear it. It expresses such pain and untold suffering.

My maternal grandmother’s family was active in the italian resistance, her mother and some of her brothers were arrested and kept in inhumane conditions, two cousins were even less lucky as they were sent to Mauthausen and never come back. Sadly it looks like we’re ready to repeat the same mistakes.

And the concentration camp inmates today as well. China, North Korea, Russia, Turkey, Iran. Let’s not just look to the past. Those survivors will want us to look to the future as well.

6 millions

@@user-nr9xh5tm7b I looked away when I saw this number

@CreatorOwned they'll never get their respective reparations of what happened

@CreatorOwned Your reparation is those who died liberating you. If they don't matter, then what is your reparation to them?

Yes, they are memorialized here with this music, somehow, if any song could do it, this would be the concerto to do it.

How are you doing today my name is Bryan cooker

I could've gotten more...... 🥺🥺🥺😥😥😥.....

I don't know where you got this quote from, maybe it was in the movie, but this was from the Coran :)

@@osmanechslos5752 No, this quote is from the Talmud (a Jewish religious book). It has nothing to do with the Quran.

@@jonahs92 My brother, whatever taught Abraham and Moses Peace be upon them was from God, the same god who revealed his messages to Mohamed peace be upon him. Moses came to confirm what Abraham taught and complet it, so did Jesus after Moses and so did Mohamed after Jesus. Therefore, you cannot say it has nothing to do with the Coran since many messages are identical since the source is the same.

@@osmanechslos5752 Yes, but it was from the Talmud first and foremost, so the Talmud gets the credit in this case if we are talking about where the quote was from. All religions teach nearly identical values anyways

@Tencent Investor what do u even mean by that?

@Tencent Investor ok?

@Tencent Investor no I have no idea what ur talking about so I went “ok?”

And clear youre Soul 🥺

I did too, once, and I cried through the whole performance. I knew that my violin and I could never be as good.

I've seen him play thrice. I've been truly blessed. I'll never forget it.

@@herbsuperb6034 That just makes me pea green with envy. How blessed you are.

@@anniesamuel4787 I was amazed how he gave the violin a beautiful voice.

Yes ,I agee

I can hear it now

I, for one, "feel" what you've written, Lucy. Thank you.

this is an underrated comment even if it's a cliche

Please do watch the movie. It honors the music.

you 'could' ? cause i already do XD

I do

I have it on endless loop tonight. What a blessing.

They go to Hell to wait for their father the devil. They certainly ain't resting or in peace.

I wish it were made mandatory.Your teacher sounds awesome.Mine showed us the Matrix. Watch " Pianist'" ...second favorite after SL

They show it to every freshman class at my high school and they’ll let other students in if they get excused from their classes and wish to watch the movie. It’s so beautifully tragic, but then at the end, a girl sitting next to me said “So he was Jewish the entire time!” And it took all of my will not to slap her.

@@firstnamelastname6016 Yeah a lot of people in my class had some misunderstandings about the main story so our teacher had to pause to specific moments to explain what was happening. Some students still didn't understand the part where the actors and THE REAL SURVIVORS went to the real Oskar Schindler's grave, and when Liam Neeson dropped two roses on the grave. I guess they will understand later how that film is a masterpiece. Or at least I hope for them to.

What’s the name of the film? Thanks in advance 🙏🏾

@@pulmino4488 what’s the name of the film?

Same here! He always leaves one with beautiful emotions☺️

If I may ask, is this your favorite song ?

This was performed by Itzhak Perlman, not John Williams. Williams wrote it, but this certainly isn't him playing....

@@jubielhalasz295 pretty sure they know that?

@@ashleyshoemyer1216 Maybe, didn't know for sure.

Absolutely. Where he attacks, is soft, lets notes bloom and uses vibrato is perfect.

How are you doing today my name is Bryan cooker

XDD

Because you felt the pain, the sorrow deep down in your heart; and then when you performed, the feeling came out with the melody naturally.

That's true...
