Music reviews of Vivaldi: 4 Violin Concertos; Itzhak Perlman

Music Review: Romantic Baroque
Rating: 5 Stars

It is arguable that Itzhak Perlman is the greatest living violinist, certainly one of the best I have ever heard. His technique is fantastic and he plays with incredible feel and a lush romantic vibrato. His tone is fantastic and every note is expressive and emotional and full of meaning and color.

Some think baroque music should be played with little or no vibrato, that in the day vibrato was to be used as an ornament or as an effect. I personally love the way Perlman uses vibrato and his interpretations here are so expressive. I have many Perlman CDs and some are better than others, this is one of the best I have heard.

This is easily one of my favorite CDs, I couldn't ask for a better Vivaldi CD than this. I give this CD five stars without hesitation: great music played and recorded incredibly well, isn't that what you want?
