I enjoyed this so much today, one of the main staples of the Classical repertoire, very popular, maybe to some overplayed and overexposed to, in some ways you can get too familiar with a piece / work, but even though i've played this work hundreds of times, i'm still amazed by the power and 'newness' of this Concerto, it's so evergreen, i don't believe the day will ever come when i will say 'yeah, i know that work now, i've sussed it out, and i can now leave it behind and move on', that's like leaving behind your favourite food because you've had it so much!, i walked to Church today, it was cold, but this certainly warmed my heart while i was walking, this disc makes its debut in my Blog.
Itzhak Perlman is Israeli, though now he's emigrated to the United States, he's now 67, he made this recording in 1984, the front cover photograph is by Christian Steiner, a nice portrait.
This was fantastic, especially the first two movements, as i was listening to the first movement, i thought 'things can't get better than this', but amazingly i found the slow movement just that, it was so superb,
Here's Itzhak Perlman playing the slow movement on YouTube.
