Itzhak Perlman, Seije Ozawa - Wieniawski - The Two Violin Concertos (1985) CD-Rip

Wieniawski's scintillating works are played with brilliance and great musical charm here by Perlman and Sanders (piano) for the duets, and Ozawa conducting the LPO for the concertos.
It is somtimes said that Perlman's playing has often been recorded too "forward", so one can hear the "between the notes" bowing sounds when he plays. However, I would not raise such criticisms in these fabulous recordings, where the violin is in any case naturally spotlighted by the way Wieniawski has composed for the instrument (his mastery of which was legendary), making perfect use of ithe instrument's soaring register and sparkling staccato and left hand pizzicato for example.
I cherish this dazzling and charming CD. Perlman is a truly gifted violist whose warmth and compassion are evident in these lovely performances, which still avoid being over-mannered or over-indulgent. Anyone who loves the sound of the violin should have this disc in their collection. Perlman fans already have, no doubt!
