Itzhak Perlman

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Daniel Barenboim, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Wonderful to re-listen to these works.
Many years ago, I owned, on vinyl, Mozart's Violin Sonatas. I don't remember the artists; however, I DO remember enjoying them immensely. Therefore, when the opportunity came with this recording to restore the complete Violin Sonatas by Mozart to my CD collection, I ...

Itzhak Perlman - A la carte / Lawrence Foster

Jules Massenet, Sergey Rachmaninov, ...

EMI Classics, 1996

Gorgeous playing, beautiful pieces.
This collection of rarely performed pieces is a fantastic record. Perlman's playing, as usual, is a feast for the ears. The lush accompaniment is equally beautiful. The pieces are accessible to the classical connoisseur as well as the novice. This is the perfect ...

The Art of Violin

David Oistrakh, Ida Haendel

Nvc Arts, 2001

The Art of Violin
This DVD will bring tears to your eyes. My father was a professional violist for over 40 years and got much pleasure from this video. My mother enjoys watching this video at least once a week. It will inspire any young violinst to play with more feeling and overall ...

The Dvorak Album

Yo-Yo Ma, Antonin Dvorak, ...

Sony, 2004

fabulous
3 of my friends immediately ordered it after I played it for them. It is a great cd.

Itzhak Perlman: Beethoven/Brahms Violin Concertos

Beethoven, Brahms

EMI Classics, 2005

Great recording
It was wonderful to feel a part of the performance, the interplay between Perlman, Barenboim, and the Berlin Phil was beautifully recorded so that the viewer can feel the drama of this great work from the inside

Vivaldi: 4 Violin Concertos; Itzhak Perlman

Itzhak Perlman, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Romantic Baroque
Vivaldi wrote hundreds of concertos, many of them had an influence on Bach. The most popular and well known of his works are of course the four seasons but if you have heard them too much and want more Vivaldi, this is a great CD to get, great not good. It is arguable ...

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Violin Concertos

Antonio Vivaldi, Itzhak Perlman, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

Great CD
Itzak Perlman playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons...could not get any better than that. I have bought a few of these as gifts for friends. Worth every single penny!!!!

Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor; Bruch: Violin Concerto #1; Itzhak Perlman

Itzhak Perlman, Felix Mendelssohn, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

An Impressive Pairing of Concertos
In addition to the bargain price of this 1990 recording the music lover will find two of the more solid performances of two very popular and demanding violin concertos from the vast repertoire available. Itzhak Perlman is in top form for these performances, marrying ...

Bach: Violin Concertos

Johann Sebastian Bach, Daniel Barenboim, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

Very pleasing
I can understand the criticism and praise from the reviewers on this interpretation. Once again, it's a matter of taste and ultimately liking the balance between technical skill and expression. Sometimes the tempi can alter the course of appreciation as well, and I ...

Classic Yo-Yo

Johannes Brahms, Antonin Dvorak, ...

Sony, 2001

Awesome
While most people on this site see the "classic" in the title of the album as referring to classical music only, they are mistaken. Classic Yo-Yo refers to his style, not the genre into which his music choices fall. The list of tracks alone should have been a big ...

Beethoven: Concerto for violin in D

Ludwig van Beethoven, Carlo Maria Giulini, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

Stunning.
Some people complain that Perlman's reading with Giulini is 'boring' or 'tedious'. But to me, he grabs the primary essence of "the classical concerto" in an interpretation thats so smooth and sensitive that it can bring tears to your eyes. Of course, all the notes ...

Beethoven - Choral Fantasy and Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello & Piano / Barenboim, Ma, Perlman

Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman

EMI Classics, 2003

Freude, freude!
A beautifully performed and exquisitely videoed performance of the Triple and Choral Fantasy. Orchestral and choral fans alike will be awed by the sheer beauty of this music. And what better orchestra to perform these masterpieces than the Berlin Philharmonic?

Dvorák: Violin Concerto; Romance; Sonatina; 4 Romantic Pieces

Antonin Dvorak, Daniel Barenboim, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Glad I got a good recording
Although I grew up listening to and playing classical music (in the amateur category), only recently have I started working on my own collection and expanding my exposure to different composers and performers. I was not previously familiar with these particular ...

Dinner Classics: The Italian Album

Keith Marjoram, Luigi Boccherini, ...

Sony, 1990

Bravo!
I heard this album for the first time at a restuarant in Florence during my trip to Italy. I was surprised it was from the US beacause it has captured the very soul of Italy. After 7 years it has remained my favorite of all Puccini cds I own. I especially like the ...

Beethoven: Piano Trios, Vol. 1; Itzhak Perlman; Vladimir Ashkenazy; Lynn Harrell

Itzhak Perlman, Vladimir Ashkenazy, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Definitive Beethoven Piano Trios!
Unfortunately there are only a handful of the Beethoven Complete Piano Trios on disc. Of those, these are by far the finest. I've purchased the set by Baremboim-Zukerman-DuPre several years ago, but found their performances to be a bit dry,conservative and uninvolved ...
