180g Audiophile Vinyl Cut from the Original EMI Stereo Analogue Master Tapes at Abbey Road Studios!
Probably the pre-eminent violinist of our time, Itzhak Perlman is known for his brilliant technique, direct interpretation and precision. Perlman's recordings include not only all standard violin repertoires but those of contemporary composers. He has appeared with every major orchestra in the world, showcasing his talent at music festivals, recitals, and concerts around the world.
Perlman was only 26 when he made these recordings for EMI but went on to have a long association with the company, making over 70 recordings.
In the original 1972 review MH of the GRAMOPHONE wrote:
"...it is an exhilarating experience to hear Perlman in these still hair-raisingly difficult works. The battle of technique, it seems, has been won and left far behind, hut there is never any suggestion of undue facility, of skating over the music's surface and robbing it of its real impact.... Similar comments apply to Perlman's splendid account of the D major Concerto..."
Recorded in Londons Kingsway Hall on 9 & 10 August 1971.
Produced by the legendary Suvi Raj Grubb and engineered by Robert Gooch.
"For luxury of tone and visceral musicality, there is probably no more talented violinist in the world than Itzhak Perlman. Also no violinist more successful. Success at its worst, however, operates in inverse proportion: an ever-growing number of fans demanding to hear an ever-shrinking repertory of comforting favorites." - New York Times
