heavenly music February 7, 2008

This is some of the best violin music I have ever heard. Itzhak Perlman is the best violinist of our time. Heavenly!
A classical violin concerto November 14, 2007
Jorge M. Lopez (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
This is a magnificent interpretation of both Mendelssohn's violin corcerto and also of Bruch's. The interpretation of Mendelsohn's concerto bring out all of its lyricism and that of Bruch's is superbly virtuoso. Great buy.
Good show! April 21, 2007

I play violin, and I think the Mendelssohn violin Concerto is one of the best. But the bruch concerto, well, is quite disapointment. He is such a great violinist, why wouldn't he make sure that he played the best he could? I don't know. But it seems to me at least, that in some places, he plays with quite a lot of power puts his back into it, but in other places it lacks brileance. But don't complain unless you can do better. But I highly recomend Miklos Szenthelyi's recording Max Bruch Con, IT IS AMAZING!!!

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 his impeccable technique with the poetry inherent in his approach to the scores. The Violin Concerto No.1 in G minor, Op. 26 by Max Bruch has become one of Perlman's signature pieces and for good reason. He tosses off this stagy work with such grace that it becomes more than most violinists are capable of finding in the score. It is a jewel of a performance.
The Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 by Felix Mendelssohn has been a staple in the repertoire since its composition in 1844-45 and the hurdles of the first movement cadenza have threatened even the most daunting of violinists. The passagework is extraordinarily demanding technically, yet even more difficult is finding the poetry inherent in the lines echoed later in the orchestra. Some soloists (including Joshua Bell) may find more lightness and delicacy in the execution, but few can match Perlman's dexterity and emotional sweep.
The Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, still one of the finest orchestras, is beautifully conducted by Bernard Haitink. The balance between orchestra and soloist is far more than just technical aplomb between the artists and engineers: these performances are examples of perfect communication between soloist and conductor and orchestra, making this recording one of the strongest available today. Grady Harp, October 06
