When I was a kid, a used to listen to this song and it made me want so much to become a violinist, but my family couldn't afford the lessons, so a local orchestra from my town offered me free lessons. I spend 5 years learning and playing with them, but, saddly, the orchestra ended and, this song, the song that made me want to be a violinist, ironically, was the last song I played with them. I will miss forever my teachers and friends for all the moments we had together ❤️
Why not take lessons now? I'm 68 and just started cello a little over 2 years ago. It ain't easy, but I'm loving it and Humoresque is on my bucket list!
Amen a thousand times! It's astounding how much great stuff is available on RU-vid! We all know there can be the most garbage things available as well but depending on one's focus, there is so much to fill one's soul to your heart content!
Dvorak was deeply inspired by African American spirituals and folk songs introduced to him by fellow composer, Harry T. Burleigh. Burleigh was the grandson of enslaved African Americans. Dvorak's New World Symphony echos African American folk music.
Nothing gladdens the heart like these two playing sweet music together! Thank-you for posting this 8 years ago --- 8 years later, during the CV epidemic, it is a balm to the soul!
@@v.h.w.2580 It was a crock of panic-fueled bullshit, and now, it's time for people to take steps to make sure that such government overreach can never happen again.
Japanese conductor, American orchestra, Chinese cellist, Israeli violinist, Czech composer and Taiwanese listener!!! 百聽不厭( Worth hearing/listening a hundred times)！
The first piece of music to bring true tears to my eyes. Both collaborate so seamlessly and thrillingly. The melody itself is a balm to the soul, whimsical and bouncy all at once. When played by the two best musicians in the world, it creates the greatest shimmering tapestry of notes. Truly wonderful!
Very true, the last time I was truly touched by a piece when our concert master played meditation from thais, albeit he never knew someone heard him play it.
Itzhak Perlman + Yo-Yo Ma + Seiji Ozawa + Boston Symphony = Paradise of Music Itzhak Perlman is a famous violinist Yo-Yo Ma is a known cellist Seiji Ozawa is a revered Conductor The Boston Symphony is a prestigious orchestra...
I’m playing several times continuously. This moment, they were playing, was perfect… I’m so touched. This moment not owned by human. It’s owned by something else. I badly want to cry when I listening this
Let them the sweetest childhood memories caress your hearts this good & never let any evil dare to harm you guys, let's dedicate this gorgeous performance those who need to become your supporters from now on, big loving hug musicians that made of our lives a better place
I havet to comment once more. This arrangement of Dvoraks Humoresque, with two of the most excellent musicians do fully expose this heartbreaking melody of Dvorak. The sound of Itzhaks violine is extrordinary. He is playing on 1714 Soil Stradivarius (ex Yehudi Menhuin). Probably the best violine ever. Look at Yo Yo and Itzhaks faces. How they love playing together and really elegantly present the melodys potensial together with the Orchestra. Pure love.
Ahhhhh. Gorgeous. ☺️ Remember when YoYo was 7 and I was 9, watching him and his sister playing for President and Mrs Kennedy. He has perfected his game! 🎶
My mom first showed me this beautiful piece played by two masters when I was little to inspire me to practice my violin. Now years later I have found the same song and once again it rekindles the magic.
Heaven on earth to see the joy on each face, and the harmonies overflowing... Yo Yo used to tell on PBS details on his beloved cello, this part from Lebanon, that part from cuba, and made by Italian,.... every part be different and precious, from all over the world, to stress his point on humanity, diversity and harmony, many times I saw Mr. Pearlman even wears traditional chinese dress in all kinds of colors, much more an ambassador for Ancient Chinese culture. Yes, he is much more so than those making living on that, and he is not getting paid!!! Love this piece and many others, small yet eternal beauty...Thank You.
My body is shivering from the sheer power from this. Amazing conducter orcistra composer, and off course, soloests. If I had to pick one last piece to listen to, it would be this.
My wife loves the fact that this young lad was discovered early and was given a different life. Talent knows no religion, colour or country ! Let's give every child a chance to achieve their dreams.😢
I played this in one of the Children Pieces songs (popular choice) when I was a kid, but never understand why it’s called Humoresque. My teacher told me to play it “playfully” with the upbeat. For the transition part in Minor key, my teacher taught me to imagine a sailor on a wavily sea longing his best to come home, with struggles, with hope. 30 years later, I come to understand that why life can be humorous, is that it can be bitter-sweet, sad but colourful. Adding to Dvorák background - from someone, me, suffering from depression.
Ozawa has not conducted at Boston since 2002. Thank God we have the means to preserve priceless musical gifts such as this! And thank you, MIGHTJLY, for posting! (I'll be listening to Itzhak Perlman play and conduct at Jones Hall in Houston on Valentine's Day. I wish all of you could be my valentines and join me there.)
This music rises above poverty, cruelty, and evil. It demonstrates the essence of beauty which is the kernel of each and everyone of us. We may get lost along the way but this truth remains.
Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman's performance are so romantic and magnificent! From the first glance both of them sound melancholy... but then Ma's cello displays an incredible layer of dynamic, thickness and stability that holds up Perlman's violin ... whose timbre is also expressive and dramatic ... like a gliding feather .... You can tell how two artists communicate their interpretation of the piece through their faces, body language, and timbre ... What a beautiful performance!
I chanced upon this music by accident. Thanks for sharing. I am familiar with this tune because my mom, a pianist, plays this often with her few friends during the 1960s. Now she is gone but the music and her warm memories lives in my heart and ears. 💐🇵🇭👍
Best cello and violin player in the world playing together! I doubt if I have heard anything more beautiful than this in my entire life. Listening to this when almost the winters of 2020 are here!
I'm very impressed by the music they play. I love the way how two great players give and take gently and tenderly the melody to each other and the warm smile with which the cellist takes the violin for its owner after the performance. I know how much they love the music and see now also the secret of the beauty of their music. The composer must be satisfied to hear this performance. Thank you very much for uploading❣
I'mma say it: This is the best "duet" of *any* classical piece in the entire world. PERIODT!! How can something be *so* beautiful? ❤️ The last third, I was sitting there and thinking "Don't let it end! Don't let it eeend!"
The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤
