still the greatest tone producer and articulator of all time, imo. even on this low res recording you can hear the soaring tone and those crispy articulations.
Un'esecuzione davvero spettacolare del classico di Prokofiev, la cui interpretazione dipende da tempo dalla personalità e dall'interpretazione dell'artista di Perlma. Prestazioni fantastiche per tutti! grazie Itzhak Perlman e molto bella produzione dell'Orchestra di Vienna. Jyky Tre
(This is a Spanish-English machine translation). The interpretation of this concert by Perlman is without a doubt, for me, the best. It always makes my hair stand on end when I listen to it.
After 50+ years of listening, the first movement remains the most melancholic melody I know. Desolate, forsaken. I believe Prokovieff suffered a terrible rejection of affections at the Petrograd Music Academy at this time. I love Russian and Soviet music more than I can possibly say.
+William inUS I also love Russian and Soviet music. This concerto really gets inside the soul. It's such a wonderful composition. This has to be one the greatest performances of this work ever!
This performance of this masterpiece is one for the ages. It stands right up there with the immortal interpretations by Milstein and Oistrakh. What's unique here is that you can actually "see" this miracle unfolding before your very eyes.
Alex Saldarriaga yes music is different from the visual arts in that the art is all live rather than the finished product of a painter for instance. Everything occurs in real time; so human. My professor shared this to me and it makes so much sense.
Perlman is unique just like every other world class violinist except that he's blessed with the uncanny ability to become the music he plays in a way that no other violinist cannot even dream of. Just listen to the same piece by Hahn for example. Perlman is just so refreshingly different and as far as I'm concerned way better. I'm just at a total loss for words😑
Rozhdestvensky and Perlman -- pure genius combination! I've never before heard such an exquisite interpretation of this Concerto and it's my favorite of the 2 Prokofiev wrote for the instrument.
I have a "thing" for this concerto and I have several recordings of it and heard severa more (actually all I could have had access to). Perlman is clearly the best (at least to me) and I am fortunate to own this recording (LP) for many years. The second movement is out of this world and please note how clearly he "pulls" up the theme notes from all the harmony (5:28 to 6:30). Most others just let them "drown" in the mess and the "speach" becomes imcomprehensible. The one that gets nearer is Hillary Hahn. But Perlman is unsurpassable!
This has got to be Perlman and Gennady Rozhdestvensky with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1980. These forces recorded both Prokofiev concertos that year (I have the LP) and this interpretation of No. 1 sounds practically the same. Absolutely splendid.
Perlman is known for his large fat fingers. Still crazy to think how he could squeeze through the notes at the higher positions and still have a clean execution!
In the higher positions it is difficult to execute a passage in tune. But generally, in lower positions it is hard to play in tune when you have long and thin fingers. From personal experience I can tell that you have to try harder in order to execute the passage in tune...!
***** Check out Shoji Sayaka too playing this one if you havent already. For me this piece was made to be played by many and each one brings out something different. I dont compare. I love all versions I have heard. Its on youtube too.
Perlman really understands what this work is about. His sense o rythm and micro dynamics are out of reach of most of others, specially in the first movement. No "rubatos" or other "ornaments", every note has the proper duration and fits exactly where it is supposed to be. The concuctor is Gennady Rozhdestvensky with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1980. I have the recording and it is unsurpassable,
This is.. not enough. Prokofiev requires sublime understanding of articulation, and I know Perlman can do pretty much anything with the violin. Then why, why is this performance so disappointing ;/ He misses a lot of notes and for him to play so out of tune in some fragments is just... Unsettling. Very weird experience.
@@Rach1873 As a violinist I understand the concept of quality of sound and I know that it consists of intonation. Literally the most important aspect of violin playing is to play in tune since it's the first thing people hear and I learned it the hard way.
@@luxio6765 sorry but to critisize a superb violinist like Perlman, you have to be at least as half good as him but Im sure you are not.. so, you cant critisize him my friend. Also, your thoughts are completely wrong..
@@Rach1873 Movie critics, art or music critiscs never wrote, painted or played superbly yet we highly praise their opinion so you're wrong. I stated that I know Perlman can do anything with violin so it's confusing for him to perform like that. Maybe he had a bad day. My point stands, intonation still stings and I couldn't listen to this on daily basis nor call it "my favorite interpretation" like others here.
@@luxio6765 I agree. It wasn't perfect. I think it's because, unfortunately, Perlman has to play seated, and this piece sounds better when played with the entire body. See hilary hahn's recent interpretation, for example: czcams.com/video/I8aN6lPxogA/video.html&ab_channel=Ilikeviolin
I trust itzhak’s phrasing more than the sun

I love how he's just so relaxed and casual when playing like this is a piece of cake to play.

Согласен! Как Вам исполнения Ойстраха ?
@@ronenr1405 эмм... сорри, что спрашивали не меня - так же великолепно...)))
What a treasure - perhaps the violinist with the greatest recording ever made of this piece now on video with the same conductor. Thank you!

So glad to see my favorite composer , Prokofiev honored by the work of fine musicians,
Prokofiev is such ginius! Wrote one of the all times best piano and two all times best violin concertos!
I know and he’s so unique too. Underrated composer
One of most beautiful works known to humankind. Perlman's face is the ideal visual for the feelings this evokes.
+Daniel Hudelson I agree totally with you. This music gets in to your soul!
This has always given me goosebumps.
Высокий прекрасный абсолютный строй. Браво
Perlman échange avec ce violon une justesse et un son absolument magnifique !!
ЭТО ПРЕКРАСНО

I grew up listening to an Ormandy/Philadelphia recording with Isaac Stern. His « speech » was not at all incomprehensible
I've got a live recording of Hadelich playing this piece and he's very good at that part too.

Ysaye had to squeeze those fatties, too. He was a big man.
To my ears, by far the greatest violinist ever. just far and away the best. Just forget about all others 😑😑😑

Gennady Rozhdestvensky conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra in 1980.
Une pure merveille peut-être plus belle encore que l'interprétation de Oistrach que je croyais insurpassable.
I’ve heard many recordings of this concerto and honestly nothing comes close to this one.
Hilary Hahn’s from her album Paris is incredible you should really check it out!
@@dominicktravis6119 thank you, it’s fantastic.
God... very beautiful, amazing..... Itzhak is Wonderful for me Hy is the best! 🎻 🌷
Sublime .......what more can anybody say.
Prokofiev too, Itzhak Perlman is amazing together.....Hy is genial, Hy is the BEST,...I like very much Itzhak Perlman 🌹❤️❤️🎻
The sound is GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSS😭😭😭
The 2nd movement is just crazy with Isaac Herman
The finale always holds me enthralled, Itzhak Perlman needs no crutches, he flies on wings of rosin & wood.
He was born to play this concerto. No one, not Hahn, Oistrakh, Milstein, Stern even come close. Mezmerising, hypnotic, transcendent.
Phantastische Interpretation!
I thought I knew music until I found Itzhak. Now I'm back to middle C.
Incredible!!! Perlman is a genius!!
Maestro Perlman ❤
5:50 love ya Perlman but lmaoooo
Kirill429 what happened there?
Just a ton of wrong notes the 2nd time he goes up
😂😂
Maravillosoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Excelentísima interpretación de una obra maestra total.
Amazing achievement!
Belle version.
6:44 - 6:54 I felt like I went in slow motion :)
5:49 i love it
that`s why i said ''i love it''. It was not sarcasm.

Absolutely unique performance. Would love to have a better quality video of this
just brilliant
Rozhdestvensky ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Unbearably beautiful……..
precioso es poco decir de esto
for me Prokofiev is "Big City Drama"
ravishing dream-like beauty
Bravo👏👏👏🧡🧡🧡👏👏👏

fire and ice
The best
Amazing!
Why does "Music in the video" say "Shlomo Mintz, Chicago Symphony Orch...." ? Could you please fix this?
Terrible photography incredible rendition of this exquisite concerto - but who cares about the picture we are listening and not looking
🔝
5:49 that's not quite what's written in the music but it's not like I could play that part perfectly hehe
Wow
Plays this like this is ww2
which orchestra is this?
this is Russian orchestra

How on earth...?
Was he perfectly in tune?
i think he was untuned at 5:47
regrets, mr. perlman does not get all of the piece, esp. 16:06.
not chummy music it is
