Educated in his native Romania, and later in Paris and Berlin, Celibidache's career in music spanned over five decades, including tenures as principal conductor for the Munich Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Sicilian Symphony Orchestra and several European orchestras. Later in life, he taught at Mainz University in Germany and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Celibidache frequently refused to release his performances on commercial recordings during his lifetime, claiming that a listener could not obtain a "transcendental experience" outside the concert hall. Many of the recordings of his performances were released posthumously. He has nonetheless earned international acclaim for celebrated interpretations of the classical music repertoire and was known for a spirited performance style informed by his study and experiences in Zen Buddhism. He is regarded as one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century.[1][2] Contents 1 Biography 1.1 Early life and education 1.2 Career 1.3 Personal life 1.4 Death 2 Legacy 2.1 Performance style and criticism 3 Discography 4 Honours and awards 5 References 6 External links Biography[edit] Early life and education[edit] Celibidache as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic in 1946 Sergiu Celibidache was born on 28 June 1912[note 1] in Roman, a small city in the Moldavia region of Romania, where his father was a government official.[3][4] He grew up in Iași, where his family soon moved after his birthday.[5] He was already improvising at the piano by the age of four, and after a traditional schooling in mathematics, philosophy and music in Iași, he was sent by his father to Bucharest and then to Paris where he continued his studies. His father had expected him to pursue a political career in Romania.[3][5] However, Celibidache chose to enroll in the Hochschule für Musik(Academy of Music) in Berlin, Germany in 1936 where he studied composition under Heinz Tiessen and later conducting under Kurt Thomas, Walter Gmeindl and Fritz Stein.[3][4] He continued with doctoral studies at the Friedrich Wilhelm University (Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität) in Berlin where he studied philosophy with Nicolai Hartmann and Eduard Spranger and musicology with Arnold Schering and Georg Schünemann.[3] He submitted a dissertation on Franco-Flemishcomposer Josquin des Prez (c. 1450–1521) and his work during the Renaissance. He received his degree in 1944.[3][4]During his studies in Berlin, Celibidache was introduced to Zen Buddhism through the influence of his teacher, Martin Steinke, and the tenets of Buddhism informed Celibidache's worldview and work for the rest of his life.[4] In a 1986 interview Celibidache said "I was born a Christian Orthodox, and studied philosophy, but I still couldn't find solutions to my problems. It was through Steinke that I found [...] the way of Zen. All I can say is that without Zen I couldn't have known this strange principle that the beginning is the end. Music in nothing but the materialization of this principle."[6] Career[edit] Celibidache giving a conducting lesson at the Curtis Institute in 1984 to student David Bernard Sergiu Celibidache studied in Berlin and, from 1945 to 1952, he was principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Europe's most celebrated orchestra. He got his big break immediately after the war in tragic circumstances, as Leo Borchard, who had received clearance from the Americans to perform, was shot during a nocturnal car ride and no other "acceptable" (de-Nazified) conductors were available, so the job fell to Celibidache.[7][6] However, he fought selflessly to have Furtwangler (who was a great influence on the young conductor) reinstated as orchestra leader, and from 1947 until 1952 the two shared the responsibilities of conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.[7] Celibidache later worked with radio orchestras in Stockholm, Stuttgart and Paris. He also worked in Britain in the late 1940s and 1950s, due partly to the promotional efforts of the pianist Eileen Joyce and her partner, an artists' agent. Joyce said that Celibidache was the greatest conductor she had ever worked with – "he was the only one who got inside my soul".[8] In 1970 he was awarded Denmark's Sonning Award. From 1979 until his death he was music director of the Munich Philharmonic. He regularly taught at Hochschule für Musik Mainz in Germany and in 1984 taught at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Teaching was a major focus throughout his life and his courses were frequently open to all without fee. Among his notable students are Françoys Bernier, Jordi Mora, Peter Perret, Bernhard Sieberer, Markand Thakar, Konrad von Abel,[9] Nils-Göran Areskoug and Tom Zelle as well as The Danish Windquintet.[citation needed] He appeared in the film Ambassadors of Music (1952) where he conducted the Berlin Philharmonic in a complete performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's Egmontoverture. His later career was marred by controversy and accusations of sexism and discrimination that came to light during a 12-year legal battle during his tenure at the Munich Philharmonic[10] due to an ongoing issue with trombonist Abbie Conant. Personal life[edit] In 1965, Celibidache married Ioana Procopie Dimitrescu. They had one son, Sergiu Ioan Celibidache ("Serge"), born 19 June 1968.[note 2] Death[edit] Celibidache died at the age of 84 on 14 August 1996 at La Neuville-sur-Essonne, near Paris. He was buried in the Cimetière de Neuville sur Essone. Legacy[edit] Bust of Sergiu Celibidache at his hometown in Roman Performance style and criticism[edit] Celibidache's approach to music-making is often described more by what he did not do instead of what he did. For example, much has been made of Celibidache's "refusal" to make recordings even though almost all of his concert activity actually was recorded with many released posthumously by major labels such as EMI and Deutsche Grammophon with the consent of his family.[11]Nevertheless, Celibidache paid little attention to making these recordings, which he viewed merely as by-products of his orchestral concerts. Celibidache's focus was instead on creating, during each concert, the optimal conditions for what he called a "transcendent experience". Aspects of Zen Buddhism, such as ichi-go ichi-e, strongly influenced his thinking. He believed that transcendental experiences were extremely unlikely to ensue when listening to recorded music, so he eschewed them. As a result, some of his concerts did provide audiences with exceptional and sometimes life-altering experiences, including, for example, a 1984 concert in Carnegie Hall by the Orchestra of the Curtis Institute that New York Times critic John Rockwell touted as the best of his 25 years of concert-going.[12] Celibidache was well known for his demands for extensive rehearsal time with orchestras.[13] An oft-mentioned feature of many of his concerts, captured in the live recordings of them, is a slower tempo than what is considered the norm, while, in fast passages, his tempi often exceeded expectations.[14] In Celibidache's own view, however, criticism of a recording's tempo is irrelevant, as it is not (and cannot be) a critique of the performance but rather of a transcription of it, without the ambience of the moment, for him, a key factor in any musical performance. As Celibidache explained, the acoustic space in which one hears a concert directly affects the likelihood of the emergence of his sought-after transcendent experience. The acoustic space within which one hears a recording of one of his performances, on the other hand, has no impact on the performance, as it is impossible for the acoustic features of that space to stimulate musicians to play slower or faster. That his recorded performances differ so widely from the majority of other recordings has led them to be seen by some as collectors' items rather than mainstream releases, 'one-offs' rather than reference recordings.[15] Discography[edit] Notable releases have been his Munich performances of Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner, Robert Schumann, Johann Sebastian Bach, Gabriel Fauré and a series of live performances with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. 1948: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 LPO (Decca AK 2036-41 78 rpm) 1949: Mozart: Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183 (Decca AK 2197-9 78 rpm)  ?: Prokofiev: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Prokofiev Symphony in D major, Op. 25 “Classical” (HMV C 3729-30) 78 rpm 1951: Mozart: Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183 (Decca LXT 2558) 1951: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 LPO (Decca LXT 2545) 1969: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 LPO (Decca Eclipse ECM 833) 1985: Beethoven: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (Electrecord) 1988: Mendelssohn: Sinfonia N. 4 "Italian"; Dvořák: Sinfonia N. 9 Dal Nuovo Mondo (Frequenz) n.d.: Beethoven: Concerto No. 5 for Piano and Orchestra "Emperor" (Electrecord) 1990: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5; Nutcracker Suite (London) 1991: Mozart: Requiem; Vivaldi: Stabat Mater (Arkadia) 1991: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 “Pathetique”; Roméo et Juliette (Arkadia) 1994: Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 (Andromeda) 1994: Brahms: Symphony Nos. 3 & 4 (Fonit-Cetra Italia) 1994: Brahms: Symphony No. 2 & Haydn Variations, Op. 56a (Fonit-Cetra Italia) 1994: Mozart: Grand Mass, K. 427 (Cetra) 1995: Beethoven: Symphony Nos. 2 & 4 (Nas) 1997: Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra (EMI Music Distribution) 1997: Beethoven: Symphony Nos. 4 & 5 (EMI Music Distribution) 1997: Debussy: La Mer; Iberia (EMI Music Distribution) 1997: Haydn: Symphony Nos 103 & 104 (EMI Music Distribution) 1997: Mozart: Symphony No. 40; Haydn: “Oxford Symphony” (EMI Music Distribution) 1997: Ravel: Ma Mère l'Oye; Bolero, Le tombeau de Couperin; Alborada del Gracioso (Fonit-Cetra Italia) 1997: S.

Dienstag, 26.06.2012, 13:21 Es soll ja Leute geben, die sich nicht für Fußball interessieren – und wenn die zurzeit fernsehen wollen, haben sie es schwer: Wiederholungen über Wiederholungen sowie Zweitklassiges präsentieren die Sender wenig überzeugend als Gegenprogramm zu den EM-Spielen. In diesen Sporttagen schlägt die Stunde kleiner feiner Anstalten wie Arte, die immer wieder interessante, wenn auch recht spezielle Dokumentationen aus dem Hut zaubern. An diesem Mittwoch, parallel zur zweiten Halbzeit des EM-Halbfinales Portugal – Spanien, zeigt der deutsch-französische Kultursender den Film „Sergiu Celibidache – das Wesen der Musik“ (21.45 Uhr). Der rumänisch-stämmige Dirigent, der als Wahl-Deutscher auch einen deutschen Pass hatte, gehörte zu den größten Dirigenten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er starb 1996 im Alter von 84 Jahren; am Donnerstag wäre sein 100. Geburtstag. Obwohl Berlin Celibidaches ursprüngliche musikalische Heimat und Ausbildungsstätte war, überwarf er sich mit den Philharmonikern in der Hauptstadt – nicht zuletzt, weil Herbert von Karajan und nicht er ordentlicher Chefdirigent wurde – und wurde nach Gastspielen in zahlreichen Ländern Chef in Stuttgart und München. Bei den Münchner Philharmonikern hatte er den Posten des Generalmusikdirektors von 1979 bis zu seinem Tod inne. Doch das sind nur die groben Randdaten des Lebens eines Menschen, der ein begnadeter Musiker mit vielen, auch widersprüchlichen Facetten war, wie die Dokumentation des Filmemachers Norbert Busè zeigt. „Impulsiv und intellektuell, überschäumend und akribisch, gnadenlos und gütig“, so beschreibt Arte den Maestro im Pressetext. So begibt sich Busè auf die Spurensuche nach dem Wesen Celibidaches. Er filmt in Rumänien, Deutschland und Frankreich und trifft dessen Schwester und dessen Sohn Serge, der selbst ein Filmporträt über den Vater geschaffen hat, das in Ausschnitten in dieser Doku als Fernsehpremiere gezeigt wird. Außerdem lässt Busè Weggefährten von Celibidache zu Wort kommen, darunter Daniel Barenboim. „Es ist das Porträt eines Dirigenten, der wie kaum ein anderer Analyse und Leidenschaft, Rücksichtslosigkeit und Anteilnahme vereinte – ein Maestro furioso“, bewirbt Arte die Dokumentation. Zumindest wird in dem 55-minütigen Film deutlich, dass Celibidache ein außergewöhnlicher Musiker und Mensch war, ein positiv besessener, der stets nach der Vervollkommnung seiner Kunst strebte.  ***   SERGIU CELIBIDACHE Sergiu Celibidache grew up in the capital of Moldavia, Iassy, where his father held an official position. He was already improvising at the piano by the age of four and after a traditional schooling he studied music, philosophy and mathematics in Bucharest and Paris. His father wished him to pursue a political career in Romania, but instead Celibidache left for Berlin in 1936, motivated to study composition at the Berlin Academy of Music with Heinz Thiessen by having heard a quartet of his on Romanian radio. Two years later he enrolled to study conducting with Kurt Thomas and Walter Gmeindl, while simultaneously attending the Friedrich Wilhelm University to study musicology with Arnold Schering and Georg Schünemann, and philosophy with Nicolai Hartmann and Eduard Spranger. During this period he became increasingly attracted to Buddism and Zen Buddism: through his teacher Martin Steinke he was exposed to Buddhist ideas as to the limits of thought, including what was translatable into music and what was not. Celibidache completed his education in 1944 with a doctorate on Josquin Desprez. During this period he was also active as a conductor of student ensembles, attended Furtwängler’s rehearsals with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and composed: his works included concertos, masses and four symphonies, all of which remained unheard. With the end of World War II, Celibidache won a conducting competition and began to conduct professionally with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, based in the Russian sector of occupied Berlin. He went on to make his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in August 1945 as a result of several related coincidences: the orchestra’s war-time conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler was awaiting de-Nazification procedures in Switzerland; the orchestra’s first post-war conductor, Leo Borchard, had been accidentally killed by an American sentry; and no other well-known conductors were either available or acceptable to the four powers occupying Berlin. In February 1946 he was appointed as chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Furtwängler returned to the orchestra in 1947 and henceforth shared the direction of the orchestra with Celibidache up until his death in 1954. By this time Celibidache had led the orchestra in four hundred and fourteen concerts, presenting many new works by composers such as Blacher, Tiessen, Hindemith and Wellesz. With the selection of Herbert von Karajan as the new chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Celibidache left Berlin, conducting the orchestra only once again, in 1992. Celibidache had made his London debut in 1948, followed by some recording sessions for Decca, and after his departure from Berlin he began a nomadic period, conducting in Italy in particular. He worked with the orchestras of La Scala, Milan and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, as well as with the radio orchestras of Rome, Milan, Naples and Turin amongst others. His extreme demands for extensive rehearsal time made radio conducting more feasible than with normal concert-giving symphony orchestras. From 1959 he began to work with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, and from 1960 he held master-classes in conducting at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena that soon achieved legendary status. Between 1960 and 1963 Celibidache worked intensively with the Royal Danish Orchestra, and from 1962 until 1971 he was chief conductor of the Stockholm Radio Symphony Orchestra, which he completely rebuilt. This was followed by a period as chief conductor of the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1972 to 1977, and two seasons as the chief conductor of the Orchestre National de Radio France, from 1973 to 1975, which remain a potent memory for many in France. In 1979 he accepted the post of chief conductor of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, which he made into one of the best orchestras in the world. In Munich he held master-classes in orchestral conducting, continuing to conduct and to teach, including the subject of phenomenology at the University of Mainz (1978–1992), right up until his death. Sergiu Celibidache was a follower of the religious mystic Sai Baba, and he belonged to a school of thought which denied that the spoken or written word or reasoning may make reality accessible. He believed that when conducting it was necessary to let the complexity of sounds from a passage develop and be heard in a concert hall (an occurrence known as ‘epiphenomena’). He went on to maintain that the ‘epiphenomena’, which added to the total experience of a ‘live’ performance in a concert hall, could never be captured on record. Hence, the particular magic and uniqueness of a ‘live’ performance would be lost in a recording, the artificiality of which he went so far as likening to going to bed with a photograph of Brigitte Bardot! Fortunately his preference for working with radio orchestras, because of the extensive rehearsal time permitted, also resulted in many of his performances being committed to tape in Italy, Sweden and Germany in particular. During his lifetime many of these recordings were circulated in unofficial editions. Since his death numerous radio recordings have been authorised for commercial release by his family, to ensure the highest possible standards of reproduction. Several video recordings of Celibidache conducting, especially with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, have also been released. Strangely Celibidache did not object to these in the way that he did to sound recordings. Whatever their provenance, recordings of Celibidache conducting demonstrate a complete master at work. His pursuit of the idea of ‘epiphenomena’ suggested that the richer the music, the slower the tempo required; and especially in his later years his generous tempi helped to broaden the vision of the works that he performed. With the music of certain composers this approach was extremely successful: Celibidache’s interpretations of Bruckner for instance possessed a transcendental quality that was very powerful. Performances of Brahms, although very different, were equally as successful. His mastery of orchestral balance, intonation and dynamics, when combined with his deliberate tempi, gave his readings of French music, and of composers such as Ravel and Debussy in particular, a refinement that was exceptional. By contrast his interpretations of Russian music such as Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet possessed an unusual weight and grandeur. Celibidache may have been described as one of the last of the ‘mad genius’ conductors (David Hurwitz), but in truth little that he conducted was without the greatest musical interest. *** Itzhak Perlman (Hebrew: יצחק פרלמן‎; born 31 August 1945) is an Israeli-American violinist, conductor, and music teacher. Over the course of his career, Perlman has performed worldwide, and throughout the United States, in venues that have included a State Dinner at the White House honoring Queen Elizabeth II, and at the Presidential Inauguration of President Obama, and he has conducted the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the Westchester Philharmonic. In 2015, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

His parents, Chaim and Shoshana Perlman, were natives of Poland and had independently immigrated to Palestine in the mid-1930s before they met and later married. Perlman first became interested in the violin after hearing a classical music performance on the radio. At the age of three, he was denied admission to the Shulamit Conservatory for being too small to hold a violin.[1] He instead taught himself how to play the instrument using a toy fiddle until he was old enough to study with Rivka Goldgart at the Shulamit Conservatory and at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, where he gave his first recital at age 10.[2] He moved to the United States to study at the Juilliard School with the violin pedagogue Ivan Galamian and his assistant Dorothy DeLay.[3] Perlman contracted polio at age four and has walked using leg braces and crutches since then[4] and plays the violin while seated. As of 2018, he uses crutches or an electric Amigo scooter for mobility.[5] Career[edit] Performing[edit] Ed Sullivan congratulates 13-year-old Itzhak Perlman after a concert (1958) Perlman appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show twice in 1958, and again in 1964, on the same show with the Rolling Stones.[6] He made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1963 and won the Leventritt Competition in 1964. Soon afterward, he began to tour widely. In addition to an extensive recording and performance career, he has continued to make guest appearances on American television shows such as The Tonight Show and Sesame Street as well as playing at a number of functions at the White House. Although he has never been billed or marketed as a singer, he sang the role of "Un carceriere" ("a jailer") on a 1981 EMI recording of Puccini's "Tosca" that featured Renata Scotto, Plácido Domingo, and Renato Bruson, with James Levine conducting. He had earlier sung the role in an excerpt from the opera on a 1980 Pension Fund Benefit Concert telecast as part of the Live from Lincoln Center series with Luciano Pavarotti as Cavaradossi and Zubin Mehta conducting the New York Philharmonic. On 5 July 1986, he performed on the New York Philharmonic's tribute to the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, which was televised live on ABC Television in the United States.[7] The orchestra, conducted by Zubin Mehta, performed in Central Park. In 1987, he joined the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) for their concerts in Warsaw and Budapest as well as other cities in Eastern bloc countries. He toured with the IPO in the spring of 1990 for its first-ever performance in the Soviet Union, with concerts in Moscow and Leningrad, and toured with the IPO again in 1994, performing in China and India. In 2015 on a classical music program entitled The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center produced by WQXR in New York City, it was revealed that Perlman performed the uncredited violin solo on the 1989 Billy Joel song The Downeaster Alexa. While primarily a solo artist, Perlman has performed with a number of other musicians, including Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zukerman, Jessye Norman, Isaac Stern, and Yuri Temirkanov at the 150th anniversary celebration of Tchaikovsky in Leningrad in December 1990. He has also performed and recorded with his friend and fellow Israeli violinist Pinchas Zukerman on numerous occasions over the years. As well as playing and recording the classical music for which he is best known, Perlman has also played jazz, including an album made with jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, and in addition, klezmer. Perlman has been a soloist for a number of film scores such as the theme of the 1993 film Schindler's List by John Williams, which subsequently won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. More recently, he was the violin soloist for the 2005 film Memoirs of a Geisha along with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Perlman played selections from the musical scores of the movies nominated for "Best Original Score" at the 73rd Academy Awards with Yo-Yo Ma and at the 78th Academy Awards.[citation needed] Selected performances[edit] Perlman at the White House in 2007 Perlman played at the state dinner attended by Queen Elizabeth II on 7 May 2007, in the East Room at the White House.[8] He performed John Williams's "Air and Simple Gifts" at the 2009 inauguration ceremony for Barack Obama along with Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Gabriela Montero (piano), and Anthony McGill (clarinet). While the quartet did play live, the music played simultaneously over speakers and on television was a recording made two days prior due to concerns over the cold weather damaging the instruments. Perlman was quoted as saying: "It would have been a disaster if we had done it any other way."[9] He made an appearance in Disney's Fantasia 2000 to introduce the segment Pines of Rome along with Steve Martin. On 2 November 2018, Perlman reprised the 60th anniversary of his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show as a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[10] Teaching[edit] In 1975, Perlman accepted a faculty post at the Conservatory of Music at Brooklyn College. In 2003, Mr. Perlman was named the holder of the Dorothy Richard Starling Foundation Chair in Violin Studies at the Juilliard School, succeeding his teacher, Dorothy DeLay. He also currently teaches students one-on-one at the Perlman Music Program on Long Island, NY, rarely holding master classes. The Perlman Music Program[edit] The Perlman music program, founded in 1995 by Toby Perlman and Suki Sandler, started as a summer camp for exceptional string musicians between the ages of 11 and 18.[11] Over time, it expanded to a year-long program. Students have the chance to have Itzhak Perlman himself coach them before they play at venues such as the Sutton Place Synagogue and public schools.[12] By introducing students to each other and requiring them to practice together, the program strives to have musicians who would otherwise practice alone and develop a network of friends and colleagues. Rather than remain isolated, participants in the program find an area where they belong.[13] Conducting[edit] At the beginning of the new millennium, Perlman began to conduct.[14] He took the post of principal guest conductor at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. He served as music advisor to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra from 2002 to 2004. In November 2007, the Westchester Philharmonic announced the appointment of Perlman as artistic director and principal conductor. His first concert in these roles was on 11 October 2008, in an all-Beethoven program featuring pianist Leon Fleisher performing the Emperor Concerto. Instruments[edit] Perlman plays the Soil Stradivarius violin of 1714, formerly owned by Yehudi Menuhin and considered one of the finest violins made during Stradivari's "golden period." Perlman also plays the Guarneri del Gesu 1743 'Sauret'[15] and the Carlo Bergonzi 1740 'ex-Kreisler'. Personal life[edit] Perlman resides in New York City with his wife, Toby, also a classically trained violinist. They have five children: Noah, Navah, Leora, Rami, and Ariella. Perlman is a distant cousin of Canadian comic and TV personality Howie Mandel.[16] Discography[edit] Tradition (1987) Duos (1987) Vivaldi: The Four Seasons/3 Violin Concertos (1992) The American Album (1995) In the Fiddler's House (1995) Holiday Tradition (1998) Concertos from My Childhood (1999) The Essential Itzhak Perlman (Sony Classical, 2009) Eternal Echoes (2012) Violin Sonatas (Universal Music Classics/Deutsche Grammophon, 2015) The Perlman Sound (Warner Classics, 2015) With Andre Previn The Easy Winners (Angel Records, 1975) A Different Kind of Blues (EMI/Angel, 1980) It's a Breeze (EMI/Angel, 1981) With Oscar Peterson Side by Side (TELARC CD-83341 1994) Honors and awards[edit] 1964: Leventritt Competition – Winner 1977: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Vivaldi: The Four Seasons 1978: Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance:Beethoven: Sonatas for Violin and Piano (w/ Vladimir Ashkenazy) 1978: Grammy Award for Best Classical Album: Brahms: Concerto for Violin in D 1980: Grammy Award: Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra): The Spanish Album 1980: Grammy Award: Best Chamber Music Performance: Music for Two Violins (w/ Pinchas Zukerman) 1980: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Brahms Violin and Cello Concerto in A Minor (w/ Mstislav Rostropovich) (TIE) 1980: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Berg: Violin Concerto/Stravinsky: Violin Concerto in D (TIE) 1981: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Issac Stern 60th Anniversary Celebration (w/ Isaac Stern & Pinchas Zukerman) 1981: Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance: Tchaikovsky: Piano Trio in A Minor (w/ Lynn Harrell & Vladimir Ashkenazy) 1982: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Elgar: Violin Concerto in B Minor 1987: Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance: Beethoven: The Complete Piano Trios (w/ Lynn Harrell & Vladimir Ashkenazy) 1987: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Mozart: Violin Concertos Nos. 2 and 4 1990: Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance: Brahms: The Three Violin Sonatas (w/ Daniel Barenboim) 1990: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): Shostakovich Violin Concerto No.1 in A Minor/GlazunovL Violin Concerto in A Minor 1995: Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra): The American Album—Works of Bernstein, Barber, Foss 2003: Kennedy Center Honors April 1980: Newsweek magazine featured Mr. Perlman with a cover story.[17] 1986: Honored with the Medal of Liberty by President Reagan.[18] 1992: Emmy Award: Outstanding Classical Program in the Performing Arts: Perlman in Russia 1994: Emmy Award: Outstanding Individual Achievement: Cultural Programming 1996: Emmy Award: Outstanding Cultural Music-Dance Program: Itzhak Perlman: In the Fiddler's House 1999: Emmy Award: Outstanding Classical Music-Dance Program: Itzhak Perlman: Fiddling for the Future 2000: Awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Clinton[18] 2008: Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award 2015: Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama[19][20] 2016: Awarded the Genesis Prize by the Prime Minister of Israel.[21] 2017: Subject of the documentary Itzhak directed by Alison Chernick.[22] ****  Itzhak Perlman  Violin Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. Beloved for his charm and humanity as well as his talent, he has come to be recognized by audiences all over the world who respond not only to his flawless technique, but to the irrepressible joy of making music which he communicates. Born in Israel in 1945, Mr. Perlman completed his initial training at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. He came to New York and soon was propelled into the international arena with an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Following his studies at the Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay, Mr. Perlman won the prestigious Leventritt Competition in 1964, which led to a burgeoning worldwide career. Since then, Itzhak Perlman has appeared with every major orchestra and in recitals and festivals throughout the world. In November of 1987 he joined the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for history-making concerts in Warsaw and Budapest, representing the first performances by this orchestra and soloist in Eastern bloc countries. He again made history as he joined the Israel Philharmonic for its first visit to the Soviet Union in April/May of 1990, and was cheered by audiences in Moscow and Leningrad who thronged to hear his recital and orchestral performances. In December of 1994 he joined the Israel Philharmonic for their first visits to China and India. In December 1990, Mr. Perlman visited Russia for the second time to participate in a gala performance in Leningrad celebrating the 150th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's birth. This concert, which also featured Yo-Yo Ma, Jessye Norman, and Yuri Temirkanov conducting the Leningrad Philharmonic, was televised live in Europe and later broadcast throughout the world, and is now available on home video (RCA/BMG Classics). In December 1993, Mr. Perlman visited the city of Prague in the Czech Republic to perform in a Dvorák gala concert with Yo-Yo Ma, Frederica von Stade, Rudolf Firkusny and the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Seiji Ozawa. This concert was also televised live with a later worldwide broadcast and was released on CD and home video (Sony Classical) in 1994. Itzhak Perlman has been honored with four Emmy Awards, most recently for the PBS documentary Fiddling for the Future, a film about the Perlman Summer Music Program and his work as a teacher and conductor in that program. His previous Emmy Award recognized his dedication to Klezmer music, as featured in the PBS television special In the Fiddler's House. This Klezmer music program was filmed in Poland in 1995, and later released in home video and audio formats. A highly successful national tour of In the Fiddler's House in the summer of 1996 was followed by a second Klezmer music recording released by EMI: "Live in the Fiddler's House" (from Radio City Music Hall, 1996). Subsequent Klezmer tours have included concerts in Mexico, at the Hollywood Bowl, and at major North American summer festivals. Mr. Perlman's recordings regularly appear on the best-seller charts and have won fifteen Grammy Awards. His most recent Grammy was awarded in 1996 for The American Album, with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Recent releases include Cinema Serenade and Cinema Serenade 2. Both albums feature popular hits from movies, with John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony and Boston Pops Orchestra (Sony). There is also a recording of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and the Brahms Double Concerto with Yo-Yo Ma, Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony, (Teldec) and a la Carte, a recording of short violin pieces with orchestra (EMI). Throughout 1995 EMI honored Mr. Perlman on the occasion of his 50th birthday as "Artist of the Year" with the release of a 21 disc set entitled The Itzhak Perlman Collection. The release of this set coincided with The Definitive Perlman Experience festival in London in which Mr. Perlman performed seven concertos in four concerts at the Royal Festival Hall. During the past two years Mr. Perlman has also appeared on the conductor's podium and through this medium he is further delighting his audiences. He has been appointed the Principal Guest Conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in the USA, a position he will take up in the 2001 / 2002 season. He has also appeared as conductor / soloist with the Chicago Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Toronto, National, Houston and Pittsburgh symphonies, at the Ravinia and OK Mozart festivals and with the Israel Philharmonic. In Europe, he has conducted the English Chamber Orchestra, London Philharmonic and Orchestra Sinfonica dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. Forthcoming conducting engagements in Europe include the London Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw and Berlin Philharmonic. These are alongside recital performances in London, Brussels and in Switzerland. Numerous publications and institutions have paid tribute to Itzhak Perlman for the unique place he occupies in the artistic and humanitarian fabric of our times. Newsweek magazine featured him with a cover story in April of 1980, and in 1981 Musical America pictured him as Musician of the Year on the cover of its Directory of Music and Musicians. Harvard, Yale, Brandeis, Roosevelt, Yeshiva and Hebrew universities are among the institutions which have awarded him honorary degrees. President Reagan honored Mr. Perlman with a "Medal of Liberty" in 1986. On television, Mr. Perlman has entertained and enlightened millions of viewers of all ages on shows as diverse as The Late Show with David Letterman, Sesame Street, the Tonight show, the Grammy awards telecasts and several Live From Lincoln Center broadcasts. In 1992, the PBS documentary of his historic trip to the Soviet Union with the Israel Philharmonic, entitled Perlman in Russia (Angel/EMI video), was honored with an Emmy award as best music documentary. In July of 1994, Mr. Perlman was seen by millions of viewers when he hosted the U.S. broadcast of the Three Tenors, Encore! live from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. One of Mr. Perlman's proudest achievements was his collaboration with film score composer John Williams in Steven Spielberg's Academy Award winning film Schindler's List in which he performed the violin solos. His presence on stage, on camera and in personal appearances of all kinds speaks eloquently on behalf of the handicapped and disabled, and his devotion to their cause is an integral part of his life.  .EBAY4572
