4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not the best, January 10, 2000
By 
J. Buxton "cantabile" (Waltham, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Violin Concerto / Suite (Audio CD)
This is a fine performance, plenty of highlights from Perlman. I found it a bit difficult to hear the orchestral detail. I'm anxious to hear Perlman's mid-1960's recording with Leinsdorf and the Boston symphony set to be re-issued January 2000. However, there are three other recordings out there better than this Sibelius. Nigel Kennedy on EMI, Cho Liang-Lin on Sony, and Vadim Repin on Erato all seem to capture the mystery and Scandinavian feeling of the piece a little more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional Upheaval, January 25, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Violin Concerto / Suite (Audio CD)
Perlman is flawless as always. I love this recording of the Sibelius and prefer it over Heifetz's. The brass section is particularly racous in the third movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic, yet exciting playing and great sound quality., January 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Violin Concerto / Suite (Audio CD)
I think the best sound quality is to be found on EMI's recordings from the early 1980's (e.g. this recording and Mutter's Bach CD). This is as live-sounding as an orchestral recording can get, even though it is not a live recording. Perlman takes it slow compared to Heifetz, but he gives you more feeling and nearly as much excitement. Too bad they didn't add more filler to the CD: Heitfetz's RCA comes with the Glazunov and the Prok. 2nd.
