Synopsis

Amazon.com

Itzhak Perlman and Vladimir Ashkenazy play both of these pieces with unflagging virtuosity and impressive energy, bringing symphonic grandeur and scale to their account of the Kreutzer. The fingers and bow fly, yet Perlman never loses command of his tone. Recorded in 1973 and 1974, the readings are closely miked--so closely that one can literally hear the hair on Perlman's bow. The sound is weighty but clear, with excellent presence. --Ted Libbey

CD Reviews

The Amazing duo

06/13/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the past i have listened to at least six different versions of the "Kreutzer" sonata. None of them compare to the performance given by the magical Ashkenazy/Perlman duo. After listening to this cd I would have to say that Itzhak Perlman is the best violinist in existance. He expresses his deepest emotions through his instrument. This shows, especially in the first movement. Ashkenazy and Perlman seem to work extraordinarily well together which is why I give this title five stars."
