I was at this concert when I was 12. 50 today and still watching it!

The beauty and soul refreshing of this music is timeless, transcending culture, language and geography. Thank you Mozart, Perlman, Zukerman, Mehta and symphony.

The slow movement of this piece is one of the most sublime creations in all of music. It's unbelievable that Mozart composed it at the age of 26. This is one of the treasures of Western music.

0:00 1st movement 14:30 2nd movement 26:55 3rd movement

Listen carfefully to the second movement. Mozart wrote this in Paris just after his mother died. You can hear him weeping

I'm always impressed by how Mozart can create such freshness and variety from the limited repertoire of classical conventions.

Man, there's just nothing better than Zukerman's viola playing. Just... so awesome.

this concert must have been many years ago, I see 3 young masters Mehta, Zukerman and Perlman, love this piece, I love all of Mozart music this is one of my favorites

July the 3rd: 1 person disliked this mega performance. For heavens name, what was there to dislike? Was it the fact that the viola looked bigger than the violin? This is a master piece played in a masterly way.

I just love that build up to such a pleasing melody at 2:30, such a genius Mozart was!

An absolutely stunning performance, possibly the greatest ever, of one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. What's not to like? The first time I heard this performance, it was on a cassette tape that was given to me for Christmas probably back in 1982 - a set of tapes made at the Huberman Festival. Then I got it on CD. Now I have the DVD set as well. As a violist, I marvel at Zuckerman's command of the instrument - the total fluidity of his playing, his huge sound, and perfect intonation. And of course Perlman's gorgeous sound, too. And how well they play together here - just unbelievable and yet here it is, on video, being done live in front of an audience. Thank you!

245 people are deaf... Magnificent work of Mozart. Incredible performance.

Great musicians and Great music of Mozart. Thank you very much.

Nobody plays Mozart better than these two. Pinchas Zukerman perfect positioning. Elbow under, wrist away and not swaying his Viola, like a lot of musicians do. I can only wish that I can play as well as him. Why he switched to Conducting, I'll never know.

Anyone putting thumbs down on this heavenly performance might as well give up on life. My favorite Mozart , adored performers, pure joy! The purest musical conversation.

I was priveledged to be present at this historic concert, as well as at rehearsals. This performance is the gold standard, against which all others don't quite do justice to this magnificent composition.

for writing my paper I ve heard this sinfonia for hundred times, and this version is one of the best one

Too stunning for words....just shut your eyes....

No matter which piece of Mozart I am listening to, especially the second movements are always so deeply moving and beautiful. Perfect.

Let's begin today with a piece of heaven: Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Zubin Mehta - Mozart Sinfonia Concertante ... ~

SO SMOOTH -BRILLIANT - PERLMAN, GOT TO BE ONE OF THE GREATS VIOLINIST

Wonderful ! Maestro Zubin Mehta,Pinkas Zukerman,and Maestro Itzhak Perlman my favorite violinist 🎻🌹🎻🌹❤️

El genio de Mozart y tres maravillosos interpretes, Hay que escuchar en absoluto silencio para comprender esta dimensión musical tremenda.!

YITZ-khawk and phin-AY-khass, what a fantastic combination, with Mozart, Mehta and the Izzy Phil-it's a masterpiece. Really. Music from Heaven.

One of the most beautiful and romantic pieces of music ever composed.

i never seem to finish to grasp the essence of this incredibly beautiful and crystal-clear honest human being called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

I have always loved the melancholy of the second movement.. What a treat to have 3 greats/

I've been looking all over for this piece live, thank you! The viola is among one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard in my life

Meraviglioso.... Le melodie e le sonorità di Mozart sono uniche e inconfondibili ... Perlman e Zukerman due grandissimi per fortuna nostri contemporanei diretti dal miglior direttore e accompagnati da una grande orchestra..... Semplicemente sublime..... Grazie

itchak is just bloody amazing

Just to put the record straight: The 'big' violin is a VIOLA!! One of my favorite pieces for many years. I agree with you, Phil, especially the slow movement. Heart-wrenchingly gorgeous. Caroletti

ottima orchestra, ottimo direttore, sublime Itzhak, Zukerman mi ha fatto amare e apprezzare la viola. Bravissimo. Come sarebbe triste la vita senza la musica !

It takes a very well conditioned bow arm to control the power and tone at the tip as well as Zukerman does on the viola. The ends of their notes are beautiful and the placement of vibrato and what kind is wonderful.

Superb! I like Perlman and Zukerman's duo. I love Zukerman's violin playing, too. Listening to him, Du Pre and Barenboim trio is especially unforgettable.

Wow, how splendid it is, thank you so much for putting it in KZfaq and so us being able to admire this piece of art.

What I love about Itzhak Perlman is his unique facial expressions while plays the Concertante (not showing favoritism, both are amazing). It shows how much he's into the piece :)

sublime deux violonistes d exception , la magie opère avec l orchestre le chef et les maestri qui nous dévoilent un Mozart divin ,,

diese musik wirkt wie eine droge :nichts tut mehr weh, nichts ist mehr wichtig, nur dieser moment

This is an amazing performance. It's crazy when you own the recording for years, only to identify it on youtube years later

Cosa dire: Perlman, Zuckerman, Mehta e IPO = meravigliosa esecuzione del divino ragazzo!

It's amazing how Zubin Mehta conducts every song without a score in front of him. Bravo, maestro.

Qui de mieux que ces prodiges du violon ou de l'alto pour donner une représentation exceptionnelle de cette symphonie concertante du génial Mozart. Avec à la baguette l'illustre Zubin Mehta, toujours fidèle au philharmonique d'Israel. C'est sublime.

Very beautiful ! Itzhak Perman 🎻my favorite and Pinkas Zuckerman!🎻 I like very much Itzhak Perman,❤️

Celestial! Daniel Barenboim once said about W. A., 'the guy took dictation from up high'. Great soloists and conductor!

Бесконечное восхищение и восторг!

No me cansaré de oír esta belleza. Un director que conoce la partitura a fondo y dos monstruos en sus respectivos instrumentos.

Good Lord Itzhak Perlman is unbelievable!

My two favourite performers.

A culture with an exquisite sensibility for the art in every sense .. so as there are so many men in the world that seem to have come down from heaven and illuminated for angels!

Wonderful! Zubin Mehta Itzhak Perlman my favorite violinist 🎻🌹,E.Zukerman.Very beautiful 🌹🌹

Best music even written!!!! Zuckerma!! Perlman What else?

Meravigliosa interpretazzione per un gioiello dell arte musicale!!!

Excelente la obra y los intérpretes, no me canso de escucharla y disfrutarla

This piece never fails to move me.

One of my favorite Mozart pieces. Heard it played live in my town about 2 months ago. The middle movement (andante) is one of the most beautiful, hypnotic and haunting pieces of music I've ever heard. Pinchas Zukerman used to be married to actress Tuesday Weld.

wow!! Perlman and Zukerman make perfect combination~:)

Auggghhh!! Chopping it off just a little way into the 3rd movement, after the second left me crying!

One of my favourite pieces, and this has to be one of the best performances ever. I cannot nit pick over people who play with such soul.

This has been my No 1 favourite for 20 years. I'm aged 60+, played cello in student orchestras etc, not good enough to be professional but LOVE the music. Like most mature men, I've had hardship and learnt to be strong. But this music can make me cry, especially 2nd movement. This performance is the best. I had the privilege of meeting Pinchy Zuckerman many years ago and he's a true gentleman. btw Did you know the big violin :-) is tuned a semitone sharp to compete with small violin :-)

That 2nd movement, so beautiful and so sad, full of tears.

this is the very best version of this this particular mozart piece i have ever heard. I had great expectations with Perlman and Zukerman doing the Sinfonia Concertane but they went beyond them.

Stunning performance. 139 people did not like it - incredible world....

Simply sublime!!! Thank you!!

easily in top ten of mozarts compositions--that's saying a lot gven the no. of his masterpieces.

Thank you. A long-time Perlman and Zukerman admirer. Do not miss the Isaac Stern/Zukerman collaboration with Mehta and the NYP on Mr. Stern's 60th birthday - even if the 1980 video and audio qualities are less clear than here.

If I could go back in time I'd attend this concert

Stunning musicians the best the world will ever see.

What a joy! First heard it almost 60 years ago for the first time. This recording is the finest. Perhaps Mozart finest work.

Good lord, how magnificent is this music! Well done gents!!

My musical pallet is not all that sophisticated but I think this piece is the greatest of all time.

For anyone who doesn’t know, this program was recorded either on VHS, Betamax, or Hi8, which (if you haven’t worked with older VHS recordings) means that playback speed is often compromised, especially if the person who digitized the recording didn’t enable TBC (time_base_correction). If you play the original 1982 CD of this live recording, you’ll wake up to something totally out of this world! Of course, having a nice stereo system helps ;)

This piece never fails to run chills up my spine. Absolutely timeless and stunningly beautiful.

Beauty of Mozart. Thank you.

Thanks for this Gift.....from Acapulco!

Out of the world music ...

Along with that of the Oistrakhs, this performance of KV 364 (320d) by Perlman, Zuckerman and Mehta is historic, the greatest of the performances I have heard either live or on LP or CD. The blend and marriage of technical perfection, rubato, passion and an overarching melodic line is stunning. I go back often to this performance of this great composition (one of Mozart's greatest)

Pure genius all round- allways from Israeli(Jewish passion even with Mehta the Indian born honorary Jew who was given citizenship. Of which he is very proud.

alejandra musica celestial por la musica y por los ejecutantes gracias

SOLO SE LES PUEDE BRINDAR APLAUSOS MUCHAS FELICIDADES, QUE BELLA MÚSICA Y QUE BIEN LA EJECUTAN YA FORMAN PARTE DE LOS GRANDES DE LA MUSICA

music from heaven

So beautiful, I cried.

Concert exceptionnel, tant de grâce et de beauté !

absolutely amazing

Fabuleux, les meilleurs ! Écouter et mourir... 😘

En el minuto 14.40 aparce el ANDANTE ,es algo impresionante, algo quizás jamás escrito,por su belleza, sencilles y deun sentí que te hace casi llorar, deseando encontrar, un alma con quien compartir tanta hermosura.Hay un momento en que la orqueda queda muda, es el momento mágico de una CADENCIA en que pueden participar los dos solistas.

This piece is in the top 5 things that are wonderful about the universe. Sex, Mozart, food, sunshine, sleeping, in no particular order.

pinchas viola like a violoncelo by rostropovict. awesome

How a wonderful music, thank you so much Mozart, thank you...

GENIUS ... THE WorRD ONLY APPLIES TO MOZART!!!!!

What an interesting interpretation for the bowings wow I could never have thought of it this way!

Es una maravilla oir cuando la oquesta en una nota determinada, deja de toar totalmente para dar entrada a los dos solistas, uno con el vilin y el otro con la viola , demuestran su domino del instrumento y su gran virtuosismo, en un diálago increíblemente bello.

Its 2023 and i think theyre both still alive,isnt that wonderfull

It’s scary how in-sync they are at the cadenza

The adagio is my favorite passage (love it)

Perlman + Zukerman + Metha + IPO = Perfection

Just wonderful!!!!!

this is the closest to perfection i've ever seen this performed

Due fuoriclasse!!! Anzi tre!

It's wonderful to see a young, supple Zubin Mehta conducting. Between a wonderful conductor and two great violinists, including the greatest violinist of this century, what could be bad?

Великолепное исполнение! При этом играют разными штрихами! Заметно только зрительно!
