These guys make a violin and a viola fill up a concert hall as if they were a whole orchestra. What talent!

Is it just me, or is their synchronization at 6:04 heart stopping.

Am I the only one to think that Zukermann is sounding like a beautiful cello? Anyway, excellent performance! They are truly the greatest of greatest!

4:08 sounds incredibly pleasant, listening with headphones. Especially the viola.

love this so much! My favourite composition of all time and even better with the greatest players in history!

I am convinced that it is by far the best of perlman's performances.

Goose bumps. I love the smirks coming from the orchestra behind them..the orchestra was really impressed and they know. It was also wonderful to see Itzhak's expressions near the beginning and the end...he is really enjoying himself and is so at ease with this material. Probably Perlman and Zukerman both near the apex of their careers, just wow.

o melhor dueto da historia dessa peça, concerteza esse mesmo acabou virando história...

That's the Stradivari Tuscan 1690, an absolutely stunning instrument.

The perfect harmony we very much long for but is so hard to find in real world.. Beautiful! 💕💕

This is one of my favorite pieces to listen to, as well as to play, and this particular performance is the best ever! I think I have it on about 5 different VHS tapes, from when it was first aired on TV :-) Truly goes down in history!

I'm not even sure how it's possible to "dislike" this song. It's truly amazing to watch both of them play it. They make it look SO easy and effortless. And by having played this piece myself before, I know first hand that it is NOT easy!

i hope i can get tickets to zukermans concert this saturday!! so lucky that hes in my city conducting!

i almost cried. so beatiful

Don't worry man, i couldn't play it until my 19th year playing. keep at it, you'll get there. It'll be a wonderful achievement when you do.

This one of the best songs in the world i never thougt of such a splended viola i almost cant belive it same with this song

Whoever disliked this video can not be thinking clearly...souch a beautiful sound. Emotions transferred in to art so beautifully.

at 3:10 and 5:20 it sounds like an entire orchestra. They are the most flawless players ever! When you're that good it looks so effortless, but yet the sound coming out is so passionate and inspiring...

A++++++++ played precisely and musically!!!! will watch again!!

It's very entertaining to listen to - Itzhak Perlman and Pinkas Zukerman are great!

Fantastic performance. There's a touching pathos in Perlman's playing.

If only we could thumbs up more than once...

i can't stop listening to this! it's purely divine. oh how i love perlman :)

no one plays the passacaglia like these two.... just flawless every single time i see them do this... from 1983 all the way to now

I love them together Magnificent!!

Love viola!!!

Incredibly beautiful!

Great performance. I love the recording of this from the Israeli orchestra 60th anniversary gala concert. This piece is a lot of fun, I'm working on the viola part right now. It's a great way to work on staccato and finger work in general.

What a wonderful performance! Absolute classic! It's a beutiful world we live in. Thank you!

"a style that has the power to evoke feelings". Fancy words are worth looking up!

I didn't realize there was a false ending until I listened to this recording, my violin buddy and I just barreled through. This really set me straight.

Amazing 🌹. Maestro Ithzak Perlman and E Zukerman... Maestro Ithzak Perlman is together my favorite violinist 🎻 ♥️

His Sound is beautiful!!!!!! Magnificent technique!

One of my favorite songs from all time!!

A privilege to listen to such virtuosity. Many thanks for posting.

This is my favorite interpretation, love the soft improvs

1:52-2:03 Relaxed, confident, emotionless face, but emotional playing...annnnnd...page turn. so good. just so good.

Perlman and Zimmerman both blew me when I heard their passacaglias, and I really can't decide which I like better, without hearing perlman play it with a cello and Zimmerman playing it with a viola :)

Beautiful

Luck luck luck luck....what beautiful luck to have found this piece today.

they are all geniuses!!!! wish i could play the viola as well as Zukerman does...

Back here after 15 years! ❤

Two legendary masters

decided to play this song for fun. So Beautiful! They play it so well.

This piece is super beautiful,thanks handel!!

@MrCelloman5 Thanks so much. I think I found it. It was played at the Huberman Festival in 1983.

Great one I´m just trying to play it with my viola teacher at the moment it´s just great and has such a full, loud and just great viola sound, aaaaaaaaaaahhhh;D Just a great piece, played brilliantly by the two guys Perlman and Zukerman, who are really "playing" with this great piece of music! Very much thanks for uploading this video!!!

Amazing!!!

Great art. WOW!

MUSIC IS SO BEAUTIFULL BECAUSE IS THE CONEXION WITH NATURE´S ENERGY!

The reason this viola playing is so good is that Pinky is really a violinist! :P

Love the contrast right at the end at 6:05. So little, but so pleasing to hear

A melancholy piece, yet so touching.

This is a masterpiece. Thank you so much

Dude! Wow! My friend and I should learn this piece

Love to hear drums at 5:38 you realize their mastery when you hear Zukerman’s fourth finger as it’s own percussion

A treasure to be found in KZfaq!

Que hermoso!!!!!

Harmony is very well played!

amazing,brilliant,wonderful

My Favorite music piece heaver: P The best duo Performas heaver!!!

amazing

Best Halvorsen Ever

coming back after 11 years :D

The Julliard School? Perlman teaches there on Saturdays. I'm currently in Zukerman's old high school! Which is across the street.

Невероятно! Maestras! ❤❤

No bullshit, I had this years superbowl party with Pinchas and his wife, just them, me and my parents. They're old family friends. If you want, I can upload a video of me playing the Telemann double viola concerto with him during the 4th quarter.

what? this is the best violinist in the whole world, no lie.

Absolutely beautiful!

loved it, absolutely astonishing

This Passacaglia is an arrangement of Handel's Harpsichord Suite in G minor, HWV 432.

speechless.

Ой, как классно)

It is called ricochet, in which you bounce the bow across the string in one direction, therefore making a spicatto sound. It is used in Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and Bazzini's La Ronde de Lutin

This is fucking REAL MUSIC..!!!

Que manera de tocar son unicos

Thx Johan Halvorsen, great work

Just came here after watching their performance of the same piece in 2017 and 1997.

my goodness... perhaps the best ever

This is amazing :)

Zuckerman - long time advocate for the performance of baroque music on period instruments

Maravilloso....

wonderful...

Immaculate!

@Flaminggential when you are playing on an open string, you con vibrate the note one octave above and it will sound like you're vibrating the open string.

yes he was:) it's brilliant

@122chucknorris Please upload that! Thank you.

amazing!

this is brilliant! alexander markov and his dad also play this piece

@MrJYTK du pre refers to Jacquelin du Pre arguably the greatest cellist of the 20th century and recorded what is considered the definitive version of the Elgar Cello Concerto. Unfortunately she had multiple sclerosis and died at an early age.

I have noticed some do, but you have to remember a few things 1)they're old 2) Many of them don't use shoulder rests. They sound good and don't seem to get injured so whatever works Anyway, Heifetz had perfect posture and a lot of great violinists don't have bad posture. I wouldn't recommend you emulate anything hunched over...

i agree too!

Bela performace!!!

@ragnaroz97 sounds like a beautiful viola. :)

@hflvx not sure, but I know that it was part of a string of performances held in Jeruselum during a music festival of some kind. Hope that helps!

Capolavoro per tutta l'umanità

I want to buy the DVD of this! Could someone please please tell me where I can get it??????? Thank you so so so so much!

mad skillz.

It's so much fun watching the faces of the orchestra members. Check out the woman cellist at 4:43- she seems annoyed at something!

I would prefer some Zukerman's interpretation to Perlman's. They are both incredible.
