5.0 out of 5 stars Masterly Paganini, July 27, 2006

This review is from: Paganini: Violin Concerto Vo. 1; Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy (Audio CD)

Well, this performances have a span of more than 25 years. The Paganini concerto was recorded in 1972 and the Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate was recorded towards the end of 90s. That said, the performances are masterly and vigorous. In the Paganini, Perlman has stiff competition in Vengerov (my favourite), but these are brilliantly played. Don't hesitate, buy it!
