It is a song of yearning for the warm and loving touch that only a mother, particularly a Jewish mother, can provide. "A Jewish mother - she is dearer than money.'' "A Jewish mother - how sad when she's so far away..'' II.WHEN THE REBBE ELIMELECH BECOMES SO VERY MERRY (06:49) As der Rebbe Elimelech is gevoyrn asoi freylach Music: Anonymous Moshe (Moishe) Nadir was one of the great Jewish humorists and satirists. Here, with all due respect to the great Rabbi Elimelech, he portrays him as a happy human being, not above the foibles of frolicking with abandon at times of joy. III.REYZELE (12:44) Music: Mordechai Gebirtig A victim of the Holocaust, Mordechai (Mordkhe) Gebirtig created many songs that became very popular throughout the lands of Jewish dispersion. Here a young maiden, wishing to preserve her traditional "purity," implores her secret lover not to whistle when he comes courting. IV.AT THE FIREPLACE - Oif'n Pripetchik brennt a feier'l (16:57) Music: Mark Warshavsky This song, by a protege of Sholem Aleichem, has become the essence of the Yiddish folksong, and a classic of the genre. It is a perfect paean to the very soul of Jewishness (at least in the East-European tradition), expressing the suffering, the tears, the heroism and the tribulations of endless wandering in the exile, the Diaspora. This is portrayed through a touching picture of children crowded around their Rebbe in a heated room, learning the wonders of the alphabet. V.DOYNA (21:06) Music: Romanian Anonymous This tune originated in Romanian folk song and was adopted by the Jewish Klezmers who traveled around playing at weddings and other festivities. (Similarly, many Jewish melodies found their way to the folksongs of other peoples.) The Doyna has thus become one of the most popular Klezmer melodies. VI.RAISINS AND ALMONDS - Rozhinkes mit Mandelen (24:50) Music: Abraham Goldfaden Originally an aria from Goldfaden's operetta "Shulamit," this rapidly became such a hit that it quickly turned into a popular folksong. It is a statement of innocent optimism and faith in the Jewish fate and future. VII.BY THE WAYSIDE STANDS A TREE - Oif'n Weyg steyt a Boim (30:31) Music: Anonymous Itzik Manger was a true folk-poet whose works have rightly become classics of Jewish literature. In the present example a young Jewish lad dreams of turning into a bird, so that he might experience true freedom in all its glory, to nest among the bare branches of a wayside tree, deserted in the wintry storm by all the birds. VIII.A SONG - A Dudele (36:00) Music: Reb Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev Many of Rabbi Yitzhak's songs have become true folksongs. They are all, like the present one, simple and straightforward expressions of the faith in God the Almighty, and of the great inner joy that may be derived from this faith. « Oh, mighty God! O mighty God! I shall sing you a song: You are in the North, and You are in the South. You are in the East, and You are in the West! You, You, You, You.. » IX.WHERE SHALL I GO ? - Vi ahin soil ich Geyn ? (40:55) Music: Oscar Stock Though written by two men of the theatre before the Holocaust, this song became very popular during World War Il in the ghettoes and concentration camps. It depicts the profound dilemma of the desperate Jewish People, persecuted everywhere and at a loss as to ’’where one can go’’..

The daughter of Jewish parents from Hungary and Czech who in different circumstances ended up in the UK where I was born. They survived (though scarred with guilt to have survived where so many family didn't). particularly my father's family who all perished. We can not change the past but only try to strive with every mitzvah we can do for a better future. Our ancestors live within us and as a professional musician, a clarinet player, I feel it is in music and its purity that Ticun Olum (healing of the world), that the souls of those no longer in this world will live on. Mr Perlman - you are like family to me hearing you as a young child live in concert played a significant part influencing me to become a musician. Thank you! And for this wonderful Yiddish collection and all your recordings which continue to inspire so many of us. With music there is hope...
My Mother survived Achwitz this was her favorite song. When she past The Rabbi recited the words to Yiddish Moma. It's has stuck to me like Glue. I totally understand yr Fantastic post❤
Am Yisrael Chai! I can't describe the deep emotions and sense of recognition of something precious and pure that these sad but indomitable cadences stir in me. I truly love all things Jewish and the Beautiful Land with all my heart. May God Almighty help the House of Yaakov overcome all their enemies and make His people great, in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach. Amen. HalleluYah! ❤🙌🙌🙌🇮🇱
There is nothing quite like either a violin or clarinet playing these wonderful timeless Jewish melodies. Truly they have a bittersweet quality that inevitably leads one to think of those millions who perished among them a very large number of my own family.
We will prevail!.stronger than ever before..because we are the bulwark for a humanity who doesn't know what we we do..we are the people who will stand against the most serious trial educated people have ever faced..
Without a doubt dear mr. Eric. The heart always feels. These Jewish melodies, composed from the heart, go straight to the heart. I was exposed to a new genre of Jewish melody, shared by all lovers of wonderful melodies.th-cam.com/video/awGSFV0nhUo/w-d-xo.html
Racial differences notwithstanding, every culture has something to offer.. that's the beauty of it! A few of my favourites, Jewish melodies Spanish Flamenco and I absolutely adore Ancient Chinese music.. it is so hypnotic; like I have no choice but to listen, I love it!! th-cam.com/video/pBOKeVsiJho/w-d-xo.html
My mother, born in Vienna, was lucky enough to come to USA before the Holocaust, but I grew up, safe and secure, listening to her sing all of these songs. I love them, and sang along with Yitzhak´s fine violin and wonderful orchestra!
Having read various books on the Holocaust and seen several movies, I can empathize with the countless victims. I also had an opportunity to visit the Sachsenhausen and Westerbork C camps and visualize the horror. Itzhak summarizes the sadness and loss in these pieces very poignantly.
Today is December 29, 2022. 11:00 am Alaska standard time. As a Jew I am so grateful for the wonderful comments from all who love our music. We love it too. It has such a universal quality. Itzach Perlman has an incredible gift for bringing out the passion and poignancy of traditional Jewish music. It fills my heart. Baruch HaShem.
And here October 2023, in Mexico, a mexican native whose heart gets profoundly touched by this wonderful music played by such a musical genius! I feel so greatful to Mr. perlman! Big thank you with all my heart!
@@Nautical-g3ceach to their own. Tastes vary. I first instance find rap and all its derivatives soulless repetitive tuneless shite same beat repeated ad nauseam filled with hate but, as I say, each to their own.
I cried and I cried and I cried. It touched my heart and my mother's Russian heritage and my father's German one. It brought back memories of hiding in a hut in 1942. Dora Reisser. Survivor
Many years ago, I took care of an holocaust survivor lady. I knew nothing about the holocaust or Jews people then, but since the first day I went to her house I felt something that I cannot explain. She was bedridden, not talking at all, sometimes she opened her eyes, very rarely. Eye drops came daily at times out of her beautiful eyes I used to wipe her tears and I cried so much with her feeling her sorrow. within my heart and soul. I was wondering what the marks in her arm mean (Tattoo). Reading a booklet that her daughter left at tables I began to read the Torah it was like my soul was connected to another world since then. After she passed away few months later, and I still feel such pain a pain that never stops and many times I find myself crying specially after I went to college and learn about Jews and the Holocaust. I just find this video and this music touch deeply within my heart, the same way, I felt touched by that Holocaust lady crying at times. I love Jews people. I never told this to no one until now, it was my beautiful but, sad true story. BH. Shalom
as a german i feel awful that my ancestors are responsible that jewish culture is dying out. It is very emotional to hear mister Perlman play this song shalom to everyone on this world!
Music has no barrier. 'Everything is a rich man's trick.' The new German generatisn are not responsible and must stop taking the blame for what had happened in the N-Germany.
Don't forget: It's not certain that ever German's ancestors hated Jews. Perhaps one of your ancestors helped hide Jews or stood with them during the Holocaust (I don't know your ancestral history but not all Germans were Nazis.)
The Jewish culture is alive and well in The States, mein Freund. As is German culture. I was raised in a German speaking household and hold dear my German heritage 🙏 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇮🇱
Itzhak Perlman, one of the great musicians, violinists in the world, that never forgot our music who identify us so much ! Thank you very much! The arrangements are so beautiful too! Best regards from Argentina !
Yo también soy de Argentina, la cultura judía especialmente en yiddish fue en gran parte destruida por la voladura de la AMIA. Eramos tierra de promisión por eso nuestros abuelos eligieron Argentina.
I am so grateful to Itzhak Perlman for keeping these important pieces of World Culture alive and orchestrating them in such a beautiful manner. There is so little left of Yiddish culture, we should cherish what remains, no matter where we are from. Yiddish music always speaks to my heart. Greetings to all my Jewish friends from Syria.
You say there is so little left of the Yiddish culture, but that is not true. If you went to the Hassidic world you would find the Yiddish culture alive and well and growing.
@@mordechai- True, but unfortunately the Hassidic communities only preserve the religious aspect of Yiddish. Nothing wrong with that. But what about the Yiddish culture? The music, literature, theater, etc? There are no more authors publishing books in Yiddish. No more newspapers. Even in the Hassidic communities, some slowly abandon Yiddish in favor of the hosting country's language. In Europe, before the holocaust more than 7 million Jews spoke Yiddish as their native language. Today, unfortunately, that number is no more than 200,000
@@mordechai- Yiddish culture is not restricted to davening and memorizing all the little archaic, anal, life-negating proscriptions of the Jewish faith.
I know there are already so many comments, but i cannot help but to appreciate the absolute beauty of these wonderful pieces. As a gentile I am wholeheartedly in love with the culture and the people, and I wish the best of fortunes to the Jewish community and those who continue to promote this wonderful music and the many other beautiful aspects. שָׁלוֹם
Yitzhak Perelman can play any genre of music on his violin, he has such a deep understanding of it. Klezmer, Bluegrass, Country, Classical, you name it, he owns it... Exquisite!! This man also has a wonderful operatic quality singing voice as well.
i love Itzhak Perlman i was on his Concert . And i Yeddish music and always make cry . Very sentimental touchy sad a lot of bad memories. .We are very smart and GOOD PEOPLE !!!!
I am sitting here crying, remembering my mother and father singing these songs they were survivors and lost everything all they had were memories of their life before. Both my parents families lived in Poland for generations. SO VERY SAD THAT THE WORLD ALLOUD THIS TO HAPPEN.
@@rachelkrieger243 never forget "Haktivah" ! this may drive you ! 350 Taiwanese intercessors as a group in 1967 warfield sing "Haktivah" ! m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10222073704173729&id=1295834513
Niemals habe ich jüdische Musik gehört. Sie überträgt tiefste Wehmut, höchste Fröhlichkeit und dann habe ich Lust zum Tanzen. Maestro ich bedanke mich. Ich liebe jeder Ihrer Interpretationen. Recht herzlich Dank!!
In the NAME of G-d and EVERYTHING HE CREATED...I am GLAD HE created YOU...Mr. Itzhak Perlman. What a BLESSING YOU ARE to this whole world. THANK YOU..........for EVERY SECOND of devotion and hard work and BEAUTY YOU have so graciously given to US! You understand ....................... how POWERFUL this music IS and will ALWAYS BE.
I miss my mother in law. We always listen to the music when we visited her in Long Island. Memory and comfort, a true joy to listen to. Thumbs up with Itzhak Perlman. Thanks.
This is a man whose talent is sublime..otherworldly.. I love anything and everything he plays, but especially music from my own heritage. I sang this song for my Grandmother and Mother. I can actually hear each Yiddish word to the song spoken with each note and phrase Maestro Stern plays . He truly resonates with the Jewish soul, as clearly demonstrated in this album and his score and performance of the theme from "Shindler's List".
A heartbreaking performance (especially of my favourite "At the Fireplace") by a musician with BIG heart and an orchestra "in tune".... Can't stop listening and crying...
much love to my Jewish brothers and sisters, from a Jewish-born Muslim (mother is Jewish, family escaped pogroms in Russia and Poland and we lost many in the holocaust), praying for peace between Muslims, Jews, and Christians
Oh what a fine memory, the first song was enormously popular when I was a child just after WWII, thank you very much for this marvelous music with Itzhak Perlman.
Music reflects the soul of the composer and his/her people and time. Thank you Itzhak, you have told me eight stories... I have learned of the minds and hearts of the yearning, love, despair and joy... long past yet frozen in time with each composition... a story the does not lie or change, a truth profound if you will only listen.
As Iraqi bombs would drop in our heads, as a 7 year old these music were the only careless memories I have from my childhood, dancing on top of sofas imagining the whole orchestra around me in an open green, lushes place, I am in tears now how soothing this is ♥️🙏🏼
Herr Perlmann, DANKE für Ihre Musik. Ich höre sie und muss weinen, vor Glück, dass es soetwas schönes gibt ! Leider bin ich deutsche. Gott schütze Israel und alle jüdischen Menschen und schenke Ihnen Herr Perlmann, ein langes Leben !
As a Jew and a son of a Holocaust survivor, I say that if you have never been a supporter of what the Nazis stood for and did, you should not be ashamed to be a German.
I'm trying to learn German y for me it's difficult. Latin languages pose no problem for me. Seeing that you can cross barriers I too will continue to overcome German if it be God's will. Shalom.
My mom and Yaya took me to see him perform Hebrew melodies at Atlanta symphony hall in 1997. It was incredible. I was so young. Bleacher seats. Yet still phenomenal.
Jewish melodies are full of sentiment for all aspects of life. "The people of the book" couldn't express better the hardships of its long history. Music and study for wisdom and moral perfection. This is the DNA of European Jewry.
When the violin cries out to tell the story of the homes and families that gather together on a beautiful days, and the memories of loved ones near and far and gone to heaven sure will the violin cries out ,remembering the laughter, pain ,sorrow and happiness that once a heart holds dearly closes to God almighty for His goodness towards us .
Oif'n pripetchik [about 20 minutes in] is one of favourite Jewish melodies. Raisins and Almonds [about 5 minutes further on] is pretty sweet too! And probably nobody plays them better than Perlman.
I remember most of this melody playing on weddings in small town call Tomashpol. I was 6 years old and they touch my hart. But your interpretation have touch hart of 70+ . Bravo Maestro!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this. What a genius and gifted artist is Perlman. I was raised Catholic, but I can hear the ghosts and the anguish in this Music. "Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it.", and yet humankind seems to be hell-bent on destroying each other and our planet. 😢
I recognize this comment. And to let somebody know my heartbreaking drama. I saw the new film of david attenborough. My family hhasmurdered my 94 years old mother by taking away from her beloved house. Her spirit is gone while still alive. This music helps me to get along with this.

I.THE JEWISH MOTHER - A Yiddishe Mamme - Traditional (00:00)
This song, whose authors are unknown, originated on the stage of the Yiddish theatre at the time of mass emigration of Jews to the USA in search of a better life. It is a song of yearning for the warm and loving touch that only a mother, particularly a Jewish mother, can provide.
"A Jewish mother - she is dearer than money.''
"A Jewish mother - how sad when she's so far away..''
II.WHEN THE REBBE ELIMELECH BECOMES SO VERY MERRY (06:49)
As der Rebbe Elimelech is gevoyrn asoi freylach
Music: Anonymous
Moshe (Moishe) Nadir was one of the great Jewish humorists and satirists. Here, with all due respect to the great Rabbi Elimelech, he portrays him as a happy human being, not above the foibles of frolicking with abandon at times of joy.
III.REYZELE (12:44)
Music: Mordechai Gebirtig
A victim of the Holocaust, Mordechai (Mordkhe) Gebirtig created many songs that became very popular throughout the lands of Jewish dispersion. Here a young maiden, wishing to preserve her traditional "purity," implores her secret lover not to whistle when he comes courting.
IV.AT THE FIREPLACE - Oif'n Pripetchik brennt a feier'l (16:57)
Music: Mark Warshavsky
This song, by a protege of Sholem Aleichem, has become the essence of the Yiddish folksong, and a classic of the genre. It is a perfect paean to the very soul of Jewishness (at least in the East-European tradition), expressing the suffering, the tears, the heroism and the tribulations of endless wandering in the exile, the Diaspora. This is portrayed through a touching picture of children crowded around their Rebbe in a heated room, learning the wonders of the alphabet.
V.DOYNA (21:06)
Music: Romanian Anonymous
This tune originated in Romanian folk song and was adopted by the Jewish Klezmers who traveled around playing at weddings and other festivities. (Similarly, many Jewish melodies found their way to the folksongs of other peoples.) The Doyna has thus become one of the most popular Klezmer melodies.
VI.RAISINS AND ALMONDS - Rozhinkes mit Mandelen (24:50)
Music: Abraham Goldfaden
Originally an aria from Goldfaden's operetta "Shulamit," this rapidly became such a hit that it quickly turned into a popular folksong. It is a statement of innocent optimism and faith in the Jewish fate and future.
VII.BY THE WAYSIDE STANDS A TREE - Oif'n Weyg steyt a Boim (30:31)
Music: Anonymous
Itzik Manger was a true folk-poet whose works have rightly become classics of Jewish literature. In the present example a young Jewish lad dreams of turning into a bird, so that he might experience true freedom in all its glory, to nest among the bare branches of a wayside tree, deserted in the wintry storm by all the birds.
VIII.A SONG - A Dudele (36:00)
Music: Reb Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev
Many of Rabbi Yitzhak's songs have become true folksongs. They are all, like the present one, simple and straightforward expressions of the faith in God the Almighty, and of the great inner joy that may be derived from this faith.
« Oh, mighty God! O mighty God!
I shall sing you a song:
You are in the North, and You are in the South.
You are in the East, and You are in the West! You, You, You, You.. »
IX.WHERE SHALL I GO ? - Vi ahin soil ich Geyn ? (40:55)

Even in the Hassidic communities, some slowly abandon Yiddish in favor of the hosting country's language. In Europe, before the holocaust more than 7 million Jews spoke Yiddish as their native language. Today, unfortunately, that number is no more than 200,000
@@mordechai- Yiddish culture is not restricted to davening and memorizing all the little archaic, anal, life-negating proscriptions of the Jewish faith.
@@diodotosbactrianos131 There ARE books coming out in Yiddish, and there ARE newspapers in Yiddish. About the rest, you're right.
This is a jewel of the Jewish antologic music. It is wonderfull the Itzaak Perlman's performance. I love it very much.
I know there are already so many comments, but i cannot help but to appreciate the absolute beauty of these wonderful pieces. As a gentile I am wholeheartedly in love with the culture and the people, and I wish the best of fortunes to the Jewish community and those who continue to promote this wonderful music and the many other beautiful aspects. שָׁלוֹם

I appreciate your love for my people. God bless you y shalom.
It’s such a long time since I’ve read a positive comment like this, thank you.
I am not Jewish
I am an Indian
I love the Jewish culture specially the music
The melancholy sounds touchès my heart

☀️☀️ THANKYOU MAESTRO ITZHAK ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ F.
Mr Perlman is a genius, - what a fantastic rendering of 'My Yiddishe Mama '. I couldn't stop crying
Me neither. My father used to play this on the piano. Rips my heart out since my mother died.
Yitzhak Perelman can play any genre of music on his violin, he has such a deep understanding of it. Klezmer, Bluegrass, Country, Classical, you name it, he owns it... Exquisite!! This man also has a wonderful operatic quality singing voice as well.
HE IS a GIFT to us All . Thank GOD! Ani Angela messenger AROHA NUI Endsoftheearth
Сильно.мелодия завораживает! Валерий Козырев, Белокаменная. Старый Арбат,Калошный переулок. Память крепко держит мелодию моего детства.
נפלא, תודה רבה
מאד מרגש , מעלה זיכרונות, בצוע נהדר , אין כמוהו !!!!
Merveilleuses Jewish melodies.

Perlman is such a delight@@robertvenegas7566 and wondrous gift to us all.
What about palestinians 🤔?
The palestinians are INCLUDED in "God bless and help us all," don't you think@@JuanSB827, only by including "all" will peace be possible.

это просто неописуемо прекрасно... гений играет гениальную музыку
Beautiful song and amazing performance by Maestro Perlman.
I am sitting here crying, remembering my mother and father singing these songs they were survivors and lost everything all they had were memories of their life before. Both my parents families lived in Poland for generations. SO VERY SAD THAT THE WORLD ALLOUD THIS TO HAPPEN.
My dear, never again !!!
@@timeriver2008 thank you so much for understanding.
So very sad and such a shame for Humanity.Nothing worse than Violence.
@@lionfunnywild I agree, it's respect and kindness that humanity needs.

God bless Itzhak! What a tremendous player and my favorite violinist 👏👏
Niemals habe ich jüdische Musik gehört. Sie überträgt tiefste Wehmut, höchste Fröhlichkeit und dann habe ich Lust zum Tanzen. Maestro ich bedanke mich. Ich liebe jeder Ihrer Interpretationen. Recht herzlich Dank!!
In the NAME of G-d and EVERYTHING HE CREATED...I am GLAD HE created YOU...Mr. Itzhak Perlman. What a BLESSING YOU ARE to this whole world. THANK YOU..........for EVERY SECOND of devotion and hard work and BEAUTY YOU have so graciously given to US! You understand ....................... how POWERFUL this music IS and will ALWAYS BE.
I miss my mother in law. We always listen to the music when we visited her in Long Island. Memory and comfort, a true joy to listen to. Thumbs up with Itzhak Perlman. Thanks.
Always a great experience to listen to Itzhak Perlman perform. His performances are just magic.
This Music is so divine. It's reflect the profound sadness the pain of those Who disapeared so tragicly
La música más bella que escuchado en toda mi vida. ❤
this music reminds me so much of a friend who passed away about 10 years or so...I still miss him so
This is a man whose talent is sublime..otherworldly.. I love anything and everything he plays, but especially music from my own heritage. I sang this song for my Grandmother and Mother. I can actually hear each Yiddish word to the song spoken with each note and phrase Maestro Stern plays . He truly resonates with the Jewish soul, as clearly demonstrated in this album and his score and performance of the theme from "Shindler's List".
This was brilliant!! I listen to this when studying the Torah. It helps me focus and clears my mind from worldly thoughts. Toda raba!! Baruch Hashem!
A heartbreaking performance (especially of my favourite "At the Fireplace") by a musician with BIG heart and an orchestra "in tune".... Can't stop listening and crying...
Love anything Itzhak Perlman does!
Tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of longing, tears of belonging.....
Oh...tears of everything in life

Such beautiful music from a super talented player like Itzak Pearlmen. God bless you and the Jewish people.
much love to my Jewish brothers and sisters, from a Jewish-born Muslim (mother is Jewish, family escaped pogroms in Russia and Poland and we lost many in the holocaust), praying for peace between Muslims, Jews, and Christians
Amen. You must have an interesting family story and history. Be blessed
Si eres hijode una mujer judia ese gen te hace judio el cien por ciento
I love u brother,

Well said, you are brought up with love and respect...❤
Thank you Maestro. Stay safe, I am happy to think you are somewhere on this wonderful planet...
Music of the soul and deepest fibers of the heart , beautiful ❤️
You said it so beautifully
My heart&body tremble shake when I am listening this exiting music bravo
My dear Mr. Perlman, your magical violin always brings tears to my eyes 😢
To Classical Music: Thank you so much for this wonderful music
Una maravilla!!!...mis bendiciones para el pueblo judío y para el Sr.Perlman,que nos hace disfrutar de su talento y Sensibilidad.
Itzhak is my Rembrandt with the violin. Never heard this music played with such soul and
I too can see ghosts from the past. Thrilled listening.
So well described, so well said.
Плачет скрипка иль смеётся
- В сердце песней отзовётся...
Веселится иль грустит
- В небо птицею летит... Благодарю, маэстро, за великолепное исполнение.
Merciiiiii! C’est mon violoniste préféré! C’est merveilleux de le découvrir dans son élément! Il sublime la musique Yiddish!!!!
Oui!
I agree completely!
Magnefique Itzhak et cette musique qui touche le coeur
❤️😇 merci beaucoup.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this is
Oh what a fine memory, the first song was enormously popular when I was a child just after WWII, thank you very much for this marvelous music with Itzhak Perlman.
Music reflects the soul of the composer and his/her people and time. Thank you Itzhak, you have told me eight stories... I have learned of the minds and hearts of the yearning, love, despair and joy... long past yet frozen in time with each composition... a story the does not lie or change, a truth profound if you will only listen.
As Iraqi bombs would drop in our heads, as a 7 year old these music were the only careless memories I have from my childhood, dancing on top of sofas imagining the whole orchestra around me in an open green, lushes place, I am in tears now how soothing this is ♥️🙏🏼
Thank you for bringing the memories of my ancestor that were from Minsk, Kovno and Hungaria ~ I am sure they were singing those songs
Very, very beautiful music 🎶 Thank you very much Maestro Ithzak Perlman 🎻🎶🌺
Touches every fiber of my being. Thank you
Herr Perlmann, DANKE für Ihre Musik. Ich höre sie und muss weinen, vor Glück, dass es soetwas schönes gibt ! Leider bin ich deutsche. Gott schütze Israel und alle jüdischen Menschen und schenke Ihnen Herr Perlmann, ein langes Leben !
And long life to you!
So eine schöne Musik, berührend. Der symphatische grosse Herr Perlman ein Geschenk an die Menschheit. Und diese wundervolle Musik.
As a Jew and a son of a Holocaust survivor, I say that if you have never been a supporter of what the Nazis stood for and did, you should not be ashamed to be a German.
I'm trying to learn German y for me it's difficult. Latin languages pose no problem for me. Seeing that you can cross barriers I too will continue to overcome German if it be God's will. Shalom.
@@deanronson6331 That's the way it is!!!
Profunda nostalgia. Una vuelta a las raíces. Una interpretación increíble. Un disfrute espiritual.
Merveilleux violoniste, merveilleuses mélodies......un moment de grâce , merci pour ces dons reçus et partages.
Shalom
un moment de grâce .... what more to say .... memories, tears, heart beat, memories of love, thanking whom so ever
Smack Israel
Music for the heart, soul and mind !
My mom and Yaya took me to see him perform Hebrew melodies at Atlanta symphony hall in 1997. It was incredible. I was so young. Bleacher seats. Yet still phenomenal.
Jewish melodies are full of sentiment for all aspects of life. "The people of the book" couldn't express better the hardships of its long history. Music and study for wisdom and moral perfection. This is the DNA of European Jewry.
Did a bach need this kind of promotion or justification or did it sell itself quite literally?
@@ripvanwinkle1819 ..."promotion"? Admiration may be?
Dear @@ripvanwinkle1819, don't you think that Bach had to be promoted and justified to become widely known ?

It's amazing...I love it🎩🎩🎩
So touching remembrance of those who suffered. Respect
Прекрасный музыкант и мужественный человек! Восхищаюсь
Merci du fond du coeur.
Cinta dumnezeieste acest violonist-nu degeaba e evreu!
When the violin cries out to tell the story of the homes and families that gather together on a beautiful days, and the memories of loved ones near and far and gone to heaven sure will the violin cries out ,remembering the laughter, pain ,sorrow and happiness that once a heart holds dearly closes to God almighty for His goodness towards us .
Beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes its so pretty. ❤
ein großartiger Mensch und Musiker, da habe ich größte Hochachtung vor.
Er legt seine ganze Seele in sein Spiel. Dann ist er auch noch ein großartiger Geiger.
GRANDES MUSICISTAS JUDEUS ....COMPOSITORES /INSTRUMENTISTAS /MAESTROS ..!!!
Oif'n pripetchik [about 20 minutes in] is one of favourite Jewish melodies. Raisins and Almonds [about 5 minutes further on] is pretty sweet too! And probably nobody plays them better than Perlman.
The best violinist in the world ever !!!!🇮🇱🇨🇱🇨🇦 ...
Еще был Яша Хейфец
красивое и эмоциональное представление, которое трогает душу, вызывает воспоминания и заставляет твердо смотреть в будущее.
Is it Russian Love.
they all have one in common... so emotional... so sad... so lovely... so joyful... I love
Tears for a lost world. Lost for ever!
Simply transports you to a different world, This music speaks to the heart..G-d Bless...
So berührend schön. Sein Spiel, diese Musik. Göttlich, Dank. Shalom
Спасибо за это чудо, слышала первый раз!
What a feeling! You go deep inside trying to understand it.
I remember most of this melody playing on weddings in small town call Tomashpol. I was 6 years old and they touch my hart. But your interpretation have touch hart of 70+ . Bravo Maestro!!!!!!!!!
Great violinist Itzhak Perlman and nice the jewish mother - she is dearer than money.
Ching-Hui Tsai not according to the poster who has ruined the music with his ads. Hope he chokes on his sheckles
Man fühlt sich in eine andere Welt. Nur die schöne Gefühle wachen auf ! Hervorragend !Great, wonderful ! Thank You
Thank you for this. What a genius and gifted artist is Perlman. I was raised Catholic, but I can hear the ghosts and the anguish in this Music. "Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it.", and yet humankind seems to be hell-bent on destroying each other and our planet. 😢
Maravillosas interpretaciones! Gracias!!!
THE SOULD LISTENES.
I think the planet is fighting back........
@@rburke347 I hop we all fight back with love and kindness and respect for ourselves and ourplanet.
I recognize this comment. And to let somebody know my heartbreaking drama. I saw the new film of david attenborough. My family hhasmurdered my 94 years old mother by taking away from her beloved house. Her spirit is gone while still alive. This music helps me to get along with this.
In English,, the first song is called: A Jewish Mother (in Jewish: ( A Yiddishe Mama)
Such a magnificent musician !
Thank you for this lovely music
