Biography

Born in Israel in 1945, Itzhak Perlman completed his initial training at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. He came to New York and soon was propelled into the international arena with an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Following his studies at the Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay, Mr. Perlman won the prestigious Leventritt Competition in 1964, which led to a… Read more in Amazon's Itzhak Perlman Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Lush and brilliant rendition of Four Seasons, June 11, 2004

Rachelle Ayala (USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Four Seasons (Audio CD)

Not only does this CD include the Four Seasons concertos, but also 3 other violin concertos (including Il Sospetto, L'estro armonico No. 6, and La Stravaganza #5) making it a good value for the money. Perlman's style is warm, lush and brilliant, giving a more emotional rendition of Vivaldi, versus the usual austere clockwork interpretation. I rather enjoy the extra feeling and lushness that Perlman brings to Vivaldi. By the way, L'estro armonico #6 is familiar to many violin students as a student concerto, and listening to Perlman is very motivating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD chronicling Vivaldi's Four Seasons, December 7, 2005

Paul Mosier - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Four Seasons (Audio CD)

Having a taste for classical music led me to buy this particular CD and also being a fan of violin concertos. Despite my bias, I must say this version of the Four Seasons (with some other concertos) is for any who even likes to listen to music, much less of the classical genre. The London Philharmonic complement Itzhak Perlman splendidly. Overall, the value of the CD is amazing. You get 21 tracks. There were a few small miscues in the harmony, but they were few and far between; not to mention I am very critical of instrumentals. 9 out of 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing price for an amazing CD, January 1, 2009

LHG (Pilot Grove, MO, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Four Seasons (Audio CD)

This recording of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" with Itzhak Perlman at the violin is absolutely amazing! The tempos are not too fast, but not too slow, and Perlman plays with perfection and attention to detail. Also included are three more of Vivaldi's violin concertos, which shouldn't be missed!
