From Schubert to Strauss, Mozart to...Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman’s violin playing transcends mere performance to evoke the celebrations and struggles of real life. As charming and entrancing as the famous violinist himself, Itzhak looks beyond the sublime musician to see the polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel, and the young man who struggled to be taken seriously as a music student when schools saw only his disability.
Itzhak Perlman himself is funny, irreverent and self-deprecating, and here his life story unspools in conversations with masterful musicians, family and friends. Itzhak details the virtuoso’s own struggles as a polio survivor and Jewish émigré, and the most important reminds us why art is vital to life.
