About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

It's a musician's worst nightmare: A live performance that requires you to play a piece of music you've never laid eyes on before. Yet that's really what happened to Franz Clement when he gave the premiere of Beethoven's Violin Concerto in 1806. The composer had been scribbling until the very last minute, so the violinist had to practically sight-read this demanding work. But if you listen to the serene, expansive character of this concerto -- which is especially pronounced in this lovely and loving performance by Itzhak Perlman -- you'd never guess that it was written under such pressure. From the soft, deliberate drumbeats that open this work, there's never any sense of urgency. Even the dancelike finale is relaxed. Perlman's sweet tone and expressive warmth is aided and abetted by Carlo Maria Guilini's magisterial conducting style. Andrew Farach-Colton, Barnes & Noble

September 29, 2004: I own this cd & have heard other versions & to me this one stands on its own. Perlman gives a sublime performance. Conducted by Maria Guiliani who gets the best response from his Ochestra my goodness! Its simple the best performance.Perlman sometimes closes his eyes (I have seen the video as well) due to the sweetness of the music & emotions. His violin gives a touch of class in terms of virtuosity & sublime sound. Just superb. Words can not express the greatness of Beethoven 's music & Perlman brings something usually not explored by his peers.This CD is a MUST OWN.
