Perlman is one of the few out there who - apart from being one of the greatest classical musicians in history - is completely human, and humane. Compare him to someone like Heifetz, also one of the greatest of musicians, who abhorred people and loved manipulating them and playing games with them. Perlman is indeed a treasure, and a complete rarity. Most people in his category are just completely full of themselves - you wonder how they communicate music with their audiences when they wouldn't give any of them the time of day.
Itzhak Perlman, Mischa Maisky and Evgeny Kissin, three Jewish musical virtuosos making music together. Perhaps not since the Beaux Arts Trio of Menahem Pressler, Isadore Cohen (who replaced Daniel Guilet, also a Jew) and Bernard Greenhouse, has such angelic music been produced. Happy to see that Perlman had a Hanukkah Menorah in his window.
This is the only violinist who I could ever stand to listen to when I was a child. All of the others literally hurt my ears. All other violinists sounded like fingernails being dragged across a blackboard. I am a high-functioning autistic person. My sense of hearing was very acute back then. The sound of fireworks from a mile away was so painful I would scream the entire time in agony because no one believed me and they forced me to stay. Nothing could dampen the volume. So, maybe you can understand a little why all other violins hurt my ears (it was the high-pitched overtones). Imagine my surprise (and relief) the first time I heard Itzhak Perlman play. I thank him for finally giving me the chance to appreciate this instrument. This is still the only violinist I truly enjoy listening to as much as I enjoy wind instruments and the piano.
With your sound you open the door of HEAVEN.With your HEART You open the door of HUMANITY. With your teachings you make as feel the HOLLY of MUSIC . Thank you for sharing your life . Thank you Thank you Thank you.
‘Jew-gle’, ‘I can make it Irish’, Oy’, ‘triangle of hell’… 😂 what a sense of humour. Great guy, lovely wife who is clearly madly in love with him. Still can’t listen to him play Schindlers list without tears.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this absolutely stunning documentary. What a lovely life this man and his wife have lived so far. I love the scene at the end where they're sharing Shabbat together. Very powerful.
Even at thirteen: 20:25 (THIRTEEN, for the love of God-given talent!) he was what Heifetz and Menuhin (and probably Stern) said he was - one of the greatest musicians of his or ANY generation! Even then, his great HUMANITY was self-evident. My favorite violinist since I heard him play the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Ormandy - dodgy sound recording, to be sure! - and I have been unapologetically in LOVE with his playing ever since; Gil Shaham - who once famously sat in for an in disposed Perlman, on VEEEEERY short notice! - comes in a very respectable and envious second. His miraculous comment about the violin being a "replica of the soul" is nowhere better illustrated than when this man plays BACH; Bach, the man, the human being, the greatest of ALL composers, IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU IN THE SOUND OF PERLMAN'S PLAYING! No one else - and I've heard hundreds of others try! - has ever done that for me. Shalom aleichem, Itshak!🎻💞🎶
3:45 - the other two guys have all the personality of a marble statue LOL! And then there is Perlman, who is like one of the most interesting people you could ever hope to meet.
_he was born with Mercury EXACTLY on the ascendant. that is the exact location where the ancients reckoned the planet of intellect rejoices. man, he whizzes up and down that thing and dances circles around it huh! not only that, his Mercury is located in its own places of the zodiac, thus giving it access to its own natural resources. the curly hair and beautiful eyes would also have been predicted. Mercury is also youth and students, and his impact on them was full force_
It also depends on the teacher. I had a college-level “music appreciation” class many years ago, but if you didn’t like the classical musicians, (played at deafening levels), the teacher liked, he couldn’t tolerate you.
Imagine this. You are a child and you’re friends with someone in the same class. You go with your friend to play in their house. While there, you hear a violin in the next room. You ask what is going on. Your friend replies, “Oh, that’s my Dad playing. Just ignore it.”
Very beautiful film.Maestro Itzhak Perlman is wonderful violonist, genial!Hy is amazing conductor,profesor .Hy is very human, sympatyc too....I like him very much 🥰🎻❤️
It’s funny to hear Perlman say of Martha Argerich as he listens to the playback of their recording that the piano is ‘bit’ too loud, bc he said the exact thing when he was recording with Vladimir Ashkenazy in the 1960s! It’s from an Allegro Films (Christopher Nupen) documentary about Ashkenazy but including several of his close friends....there are several overlapping docs including Ashkenazy, Perlman, Daniel Barenboim, Jacqueline du Pre, Pinchas Zukerman, and Zubin Mehta. Every single one of those young musicians were filled with joy of a kind that makes your throat ache. I’ve always loved the joyful exuberance Itzak Perlman has, bc it’s so genuine and so contagious! And his music is divine!
Very well done. I like that you were able to merge parts of an older documentary into this wonderful film. He is such a lovely man. It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for posting this to TH-cam.
I loved this film on so many levels: Originally from New York, I enjoyed the NY vibe, the music is phenomenal, the bond between husband & wife is inspiring. I particularly loved the line when Toby talked not just loving her husband but also respect. I can also sense she deeply admires Itzhak, as well. I loved the Jewish element and footage from Israel. It was very, very moving. Thank you for posting it.
He "hated" the way DeLay taught him. But as a fully mature artist, Perlman knows the value of a well rounded education. The proof: of all of DeLay's successful students Perlman is the most devoted to her methods. She made him into a thinking, critical artist, not a note obsessed fiddle player.
It was Galamian who taught him the most. Galamian's way of teaching was much different from Delay's - he was not only a far better violinist but he knew how to train virtuosos to be virtuosos. One of my teachers was a Galamian pupil and he was associate concertmaster of a major orchestra for almost a half century. Delay was not a great teacher. She didn't seem all that intellectual either. She was a good "guide", a networker and guru who was good at hooking people up with concert promoters and music directors, getting them good violins, etc. I know at least five people who studied with her. None of them raved about her at all. One of them said that she had so many students that she couldn't hardly remember their names. She just called everyone "Sugarplum", kinda like Tallulah Bankhead called everybody "Dahhhling."
@@esfirross6800 you are 1,000% correct. I wish he'd talked about Galamian in the film. For the last 10 or so years that Galamian was alive, he and Delay did not talk. That was after she decided to leave Meadowmount, having been wooed away by Aspen. Their relationship ended, completely and totally, in a single phone call.
1:18:15 Oh that is cool, his granddaughter plays and they are discussing repertoire. Yeah, the Mendelssohn Sonata in F is nice! I know almost nobody who plays it...did Perlman ever record it?? It is amazing to me that this man is now like 77 years old and apart from the graying hair, he is as mentally, if not physically, as in shape as he was as a kid. He's always been an example for us all. In my other comment below I mention Heifetz... Heifetz greatly respected Perlman and although they maybe were not friends, they did stay in touch. I can't call them competitors because Heifetz was retired by the time Perlman's career started but Perlman was one of the very few violinists of that calibre that Heifetz communicated with. Usually he stayed far away from his rivals, even if he respected them.
15:27 Perlman dreht den Zeitstrahl um Re wie man heute sagt (romantische Gedanken - Perlman der Suche nach der vergangenen Zeit) in Zeiten der grossen Beschleunigung zu Vernichtung des Planeten)
Impossible to watch this and not fall madly in love with Itzhak. And.... I wish he rooted for the Yankees instead of the Mets. Other than that, he's perfect!
20:05 - God love ya, Ed... "virtuosis"?! If you watch his fingers, they stay very close to the strings at all times. Some really good violinists insist on lifting fingers constantly. It makes things far harder. I think Perlman has perfect hand anatomy.
As is tradition .... also he's a multi-millionaire and they're still drinking Manischevitz for Shabbat ... gotta have that distinct flavor because it's tradition, even though it's cheap as hell.

Remarkable documentary! Love Itzhak Perlman! ❤
A Titan never sat so high, as Perlman in his scooter. What a lovely incredible man. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Many faces from my past have begun to fade, but the music remains.
I adore bis art and his stunnig way of beeing just a very, very nice Person. Thank you so much for your music, Mister Perlman.

Struggling with family problems and this arrived out of the blue
Perfect 🙏
I enjoyed,i fall in love with perlman,he has such a nice personality,thx to director and producer of this film🙏🌹
34:00 Billy Joel and Itzhak?!!! OMG, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
I love that his wife can berate his playing. She’s probably the only person with the hutzpah to do so.
סרט נפלא על אדם נפלא. מעורר השראה והתרגשות.
what a beautiful Soul - and GREAT musician!!!
thanks for this Romano i like it, remembers me LA MAMMA MORTA Sentimentel story of Tom Hanks Interpretation Of instruments

Itzhak Perlman is a Genius! BRAVO ❣Hope he is in GOOD
HEALTH ALWAYS 🙏💕💕
A good reason to have music & dance in schools is so that CHILDREN WILL WANT TO GO!
i have music class in school, but it’s extremely boring
It also depends on the teacher.

Whats the name of the song in 29:20
please....I thought it was hungarian rhapsody No.17 (Fritz kreisler) , but its a little different...

Ivan Galamian made IP fine violinist and Dorothy stole and usurp him

@@barbaraweselakfranch1387 thanks. I love you to.
I never heard "take me out to the ball game" played by Itzak Perlman. Beautiful.
BEST DOCUMENTARY I’VE SEEN IN MY LIFE!
Perlman Grande !!!
Enter Mr Kissin . . ?!
Oh my! What a feast! (And I'm not referring to the delicacies on the table . . . 💖)

御二方が 器用に お箸を使いこなしていらっしゃるのが 吃驚でした。
この3人の天才から成る 出来上がりは何だったのでしょう?
是非 知りたいです。
キーシンと マイスキーのコンサートには 二度ずつ 行きましたが、パールマンのコンサートは未経験です。
コロナが落ち着いたら 是非 行きたいです。
So glad he's a Mets, not a Yankees, fan!

Wonderful!!
Impossible to watch this and not fall madly in love with Itzhak. And.... I wish he rooted for the Yankees instead of the Mets. Other than that, he's perfect!
Bravo Ithzak !!

Three Jewish musicians eating non kosher Chinese food. Ha! Love Itzhak…
As is tradition .... also he's a multi-millionaire and they're still drinking Manischevitz for Shabbat ... gotta have that distinct flavor because it's tradition, even though it's cheap as hell.
Imádom
From 42:33-42:52….i recognize the music from the 2001 miniseries “Uprising” (about the Warsaw Ghetto uprising), but what is the name of the music?
