I could listen to this piece over and over again. It's perfection! Played by these two giants of the classical firmament, it even surpasses the piano concertos and symphonies for me and I really LOVE those. Thanks so much for posting this. ❤
Two of the greatest instrumentalists ever...performing one of the greatest concertos ever! This is heaven.
perfection beyond repair:-)

woow.....incredible...pure beauty..
Thank you for taking the time to upload this on youtube.
A masterpiece of music performed by masters!
Isaac Stern y Yo Yo Ma wow, increíble!
What about some comments about the orchestra and the conductor? What a surprise! Such marvelous playing, fire, precision and absolute dedication. Bravo!
Thank you for sharing this 1986 event in Tokyo! I'm so glad to see it.
I love the amount of coughing that can be heard between movements
Just beautiful!
Kazuyoshi AKIYAMA is a hypnotic performer, generously expressive and I feel certain that the orchestras brilliant performance is due to this. As regards the soloists it was everything one would expect from them but I would have liked to have heard Isaac Stern more clearly. I think that must be due to the recording because the Suntory hall usually sounds excellent or possibly the power of Yo Yo Ma's cello at times. As with others before me, this is music that grips and moves, Brahms at his best.
First time I heard this composition it was the Heifetz/Piatigorsky recording on RCA. It has been my favorite for a long time. A great match.
But this Stern/Ma version is indeed good and it it much fun to watch the performance - especially Yo Yo Ma. He puts a lot into the physicality. I love Ma's musical interpretations and facial expressions.
Stern barely moves anything but his fingers - but what perfection in his fingering! His fingers glide like silver. No exertion necessary - he nails it.
Yes, the best!! The beautiful recording with Heifetz and Piatigorsky. Alfred Wallenstein conducting. I have enjoyed it from my early childhood. Then there's a preformance by Oistrakh and Rostropovich, magnificent! Mstislav is superb!
Two musical giants, how lovely!
Thanks for Uploading.
I saw Stern perform three concertos at a free concert at the Robin Hood Dell around 1960. One was Prokofiev during which he broke a string and promptly relieved one of the violin players of his instrument. The other two might have been Tchaikovsky and Brahms, definitely not Beethoven or Sibelius. On another occasion at the Academy of Music I saw him start the Beethoven and then stop while Ormandy played on. After a few seconds of waiting for Ormandy to notice he'd stopped playing, he rapped Ormandy across the read with his bow whereafter a brief conference, they started over.
Great stories, especially the one about his grabbing another violin vs. his own which I assume had amazing sound. Thank you.
素晴らしい!!!(*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます🙏
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます
凄いチェロの演奏の凄い存在感が‼️😍 バイオリン🎻との演奏は圧巻です♪😊 💕🎻💗🇯🇵🫶michiko❤
I miss having Maestro Akiyama in Vancouver!
Stern: Great
Musician and humanitarian and he
saved Carnegie Hall from destruction!
Congratulations for the splendic interpretation of the most difficult and absolutely spiritual concerto of Brahms who proves in this composition tremendously modern and Avant Garde.
Yep. Those fellows can play...
若々しいヨーヨーマさん38年も前の演奏 現在はアイザックさんくらいの年齢になりましたね。とても素敵な演奏をありがとうございました
Favourite performance of the Brahms DC - unbelievable...
yes
yes
Stern was a great musician for sure!
Decir excelsos es poco frente a estos SEÑORES MUSICOS.Gracias desde Argentina
Maravilloso!
GRANDIOSO CONCIERTOOO..!!!!
+cell0644 My very deepest thanks to you for this; and to all involved in realizing this most beautiful of all concertos. Messrs. Stern and Ma know how to make it sing. Their collaboration is purest magic. They are supported by a brilliant conductor and a brilliant orchestra.
Thank you so much for this. If you have more from Stern with the NHK, please upload more!
+Nick Bottom
I don't have any more Stern's video.
But we can see another Stern's video with japanese orchestra.

THank you
World top orchestra ㅡNHK
bravo!
Movement 3: 24:33
I once conducted this concerto and we threw the kitchen sink at it which is exactly what these two boys are doing. The microphone placing is not good and shows Stern as a bit feeble. You can see from the video that he was anything but.
I like his conducting posture
Thank you for this opportunity to listen to this unique duo perform at their best. Does someone know what happened to stern ma ax playing Beethovens triple concerto with Michael Stern conducting LSO? Couldn't find it anywhere on CZcams. Used to love it so much.
You may enjoy the Chung siblings performance of the Triple. It's here on CZcams, and extremely well done, IMHO.
I first heard this symphony at age 15 and was mesmerized. My cat hated the volume. It's annoying that cameras are shoved in performer's faces because it's unnatural, most audience members would see the artists from a half block away. Yo Yo always looks like he is re-living his last Brazilian massage.
I agree 1joehigg......I would like to see the musicians fingers and back off a bit to see style. As a violinist I need to learn from the greats. As for Yo Yo his look is like that Brazilian massage with a very long finger nailed attendant.......
Lol.
Bro its not a symphony but ok no hate
Mov.1 0:11
Mov.2 17:09
Mov.3 24:32
¡¡¡¡Bravo los dos!!!!
Such a shame the instruments aren't recorded equally!
Does anybody know whether or not the fact that they are both playing with the music and not from memory reflects normal performance practices in Japan?
It's normal practice for concertos with multiple performers..... If you watch video of the Brahms Double (or Beethoven Triple), you'll see most of the performances have the concerto performers both (all) using sheet music.
@@Music2Die4 Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
10:51 best
Thank you for all your comments now I understand. Is it not difficult for the Japanese to play western music?
30:41 yeeee
Terrible microphone placement - directly in front of and aimed at Ma, leaving Stern in the side field. Believe me, Stern always had a sound that matched Ma in real life, although you'd never know it from this recording.
And, what's with the "66 years old"? He played magnificently for another decade.
+John Sankey Well his sound there is not as full as it was in the 60ies but it's still great, great music making. Did you hear him live?
+Nick Bottom yes. With Rose & Istomin as a student (I think 1963), then twice with the Montreal Symphony. No one who loves the violin could dream of considering him as anything other than magnificent
Lucky you. It's refreshing to hear someone who's not bashing him.
As a fiddler, I'll never ever bash him. Stern is one of the greats for me.
You have a point the cello does sometimes drown out the violin
they are good friends, YoYo used to call Isaac Goush Formang and Isaac call YoYo Petit Pan
Брамс не написал концерт для cello с оркестром!
Yo Yo Ma решил это исправить!!!
6:10
i smoke it
why do they have music isn't this a concerto????
Just a thought, how many American, or Europhean orchestras play full evening Japanese music?
The orchestra was made for old european music. There probably aren't too many japanese songs fully playable on orchestra, excluding newly composed works.
esther Szalay as I understand it, traditional Asian music use completely different scales and note intervals so it would be pretty difficult for a classical orchestra to play that sort of thing
Interesting, thank you.
A common scale for Japanese folk music is the pentatonic scale, which really isn't that hard. The other side to playing it is because there are only five notes in the pentatonic scale, that can make fingerings tricky.

The poor balance prevents any enjoyment from this interpretation whatsoever and I was expecting to hear greatness.

At the beginning of this piece, as the conductor raises his baton, I remembered the image of Bugs Bunny as Leopold in the Warner Brothers cartoon, "Long-Haired Hare."
人を動物に例えて笑いものにするような恥知らずな言動はやめるべきだろう
Not German at all. Quite interesting

Don't miss this performance. I couldn't believe how expressive Yo Yo Ma is - never heard as good ever from a cello (of course that characteristic is awful when he plays Bach)
