Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman

They belong to my list of The best of the best violinists ever existed.
Perlman and Zukerman Duo is just great!

Watch the two of them as they play the Handel-Halvorsen: Passacaglia.
Perlman is playing the violin while Pinky is playing the viola on this one.
The video is quite old though but you should watch it. Enjoy!
