Artists having fun!
This is an interesting, old video of a rehearsal and a public performance by Itzhak Perlman, Daniel Barenboim, Jacqueline Du Pré, Zubin Mehta and Pinchas Zukerman. These world-famous artists have known each other for many years, and they are good friends.
Part of friendships is taking the time for joking, kidding, and having fun; and these five musicians are no exception. See also the brief section of Zukerman, as he explores getting a suitable viola for the performance…
Watch the fooling around, and see the preparations and rehearsals for Schubert’s Trout Quintet, the quintet for piano and strings in A-Major by Franz Schubert. This is great insight and great fun for any music lover

Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.

I love this post!! What a funny video, so interesting to see the musician “behind-the-scenes.”
