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

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor recording, December 16, 2008
This review is from: The Four Seasons (MP3 Download)
Ok, Amazon's practice of attaching the good reviews of quality versions of classical works (music and literature) to inexpensive bad versions has got to stop. The harpsichord in this recording is way too loud and the recording quality in general is very bad. The only reason the rating his high is because all of the good ratings have been forwarded from a good recording. Do not buy this!

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