It isn’t sad as much as just part of life. The profound beauty of seeing two friends making music and sharing it for decades; the richness of it is demonstrated in this moving performance. The inspiration, instruction, & legacy they have built for the younger generation of musicians is an example to us all to share all that we have been given w generosity of heart and passion.
How time flies! I saw both of them play this very same piece in Miami Beach a little over 30 years ago. I love how they always make it sound fresh and new. They are the greatest violin-viola duo of the last half-century.
They both got old but to be fair Zuckermann sound is still rock solid. Heard him live one and a half year ago and he still managed to fill the huge Maggio Fiorentino hall all the way to the back where I was
Is not sad, is inspiring the power of will, I’m having a hard time with myself for health problems , until I pick up my guitar and those gentleman shows that limites has being done to cross them Aleluya and thank you for sharing beauty and humor
Sem palavras para descrever Itzhack Perlman e Pinchas Zukerman, eu ainda vou mostrar esse video pra um filho(a) e falar: Olha filho(a) foram eles que inspiraram o papai a querer tocar Violino🥺🥺❤❤❤❤
No pueden ser distintos son buenos, simples, exelentes profesionales: sun muy agradables para escuchar y darles un abrazo a la distancia. Un gracias enorme y todo mi respeto y consideración! k.anton.Argentina.
it is because he was playing open strings, so his fingers weren't pressed on the string to vibrate normally. instead, he decided to vibrate on the body for extra resonance out of the wood. hope that makes sense!
Definitely helps that they have been "sightreading" this together for at least the last 39years at the time of this recording:) what's amazing is that it still sounds fresh and different, even though they have played it together so so so (so) many times!!
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t7TodEGLhQQ.html This is my favorite for the same reason that I think this one was better than the old one from 30 years ago. Oh and let me rephrase the irony: "you're the only one" *says one person*
Don't call me ignorant, you should have just asked me what I meant if you didn't understand and then decided whether I was ignorant. Don't be another example of the toxicity that is often present here on youtube. The reason I say that this performance is better than the one from 30 years ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pAKA3rLENGU.html is because in that old performance they didn't seem to take the music seriously -- the superfluous vibrato was almost patronizing. Though this performance is obviously not perfect and has technical flaws, it has the intention and leaves a far greater impact. It is my opinion that the intention of the music is far more important than technical perfection. If you perfectly paint a terrible seen, it is still terrible seen. Compare this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t7TodEGLhQQ.html And this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pAKA3rLENGU.html And then tell me I'm ignorant, and why. I didn't mean to offend you with my comment about you being one person saying I was the only one who has this opinion, I just thought it was ironic.
Both version are astounding... They were already mature musician in the other version, but just lie a wine of great vintage, they get better with age. Whenever I listen to those two musicians, I have the impression of only one entity is playing both instruments. Like they are telepathically link together.
Amazing playing. I just don't know what to say. These 2 guys are alive legends. It hurts, when I see these legends older and older.... And by the way, guys does anybody know, where Perlman bought that awesome shirt ? Plz, write it down, if you know it. I want one. I need one. :'D
Ricochet bowing. The middle of the bow has some "give" naturally, but the upper middle to the tip doesn't bend. If you start the bow a little above the string in the middle and continue with lots of speed and little pressure, the bow will bounce very quickly on its own. See Paganini Caprice 1 for a good example
I've noticed those notes at 7:26, personally, I think they sound awkward. I had this notice the first time I listen to this duo when they were younger. At first, I thought Zubin must have made the wrong note, but after several later performances like this one, it's still the same ! So they must know what they're doing. I have checked with another duos and they don't sound like this. Anyone who knows music, can you explaine this to me, thanks.
wow como conseguiste este video y que youtube no te lo quite por copy...a mi me lo hizo con algo parecido!! Hay que decir que , musicalmente hablando, Perlman a envejecido mucho peor que Zukerman...
