iTunes Review
Israeli violinist Itzhak Perlman is perhaps the most adored instrumentalist of the 20th century. If anyone of his generation can match him as a violinist, though, it is his countryman Pinchas Zukerman, who is also that rare animal, a violinist who performs with equal flair on the viola. It is hard to imagine a better team, then, in Mozart's two masterpieces for dual string soloists and orchestra, the Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola and the Concertone for two violins. On these shimmering live performances, Perlman and Zukerman are superbly supported by Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic.
Customer Reviews
Top Notch and Entertaining Performances
This is a perfect rendition of two of Mozarts most clever pieces for orchestra. Perlman and Zukerman are at the top of their game. They display a genuine chemistry, and their performances are clear, lively, and spontaneous sounding. Mehta's conducting matches nicely: forceful when it needs to be, but always staying out of the way without being reticent. The Sinfonia Concertante in particular is full of treats; for example, listen for the entry of the violin in the 1st movement; it effortlessly floats into the music, hovers for just a moment, and then dives in. Perlman and Zukerman execute the thematic interplay between the Violin and the viola brilliantly.
