Free Music Notes for Bach: Violin Concertos
Free Music Review: Uniformly excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the most unique aspects of this disc is the inclusion of the G minor Violin Concerto, thought to be a reconstruction of an earlier work for oboe and harpsichord.
Playing is uniform across the board, although audio quality seems to suffer a bit from muddied closeness in the first concerto (E Major). The 'Double' shines forth in the magnetic interplay between Perlman and Zuckerman; the friendly competition between the two gives the piece a "dueling fiddles" feel that is only surpassed by Andrew Manze's rollicking account.
Perlman's reading of the 'Double' with Isaac Stern on Sony's Masterworks series is superior in many respects, but this recording is certainly a bargain, and the love both soloists have for this music is palpable throughout.
Free Music Review: The Violin Concerto No. 2 in E is more than worth it!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, I'll confess, I bought the CD just for the first three tracks, but what amazing tracks they are! Arguably, it's hard to find a better rendition of Bach's Violin Concerto No. 2 in E, particularly the first and third movements. Best of all, the first movement is not the truncated version, as one is apt to hear regarding certain recordings of Bach's concerti (e.g., the 3rd Brandenburg Concerto), but rest assured, this one is rendered in its entirety. Furthermore the price can't be beat. So, if you're in the market for recordings of these concerti, what are you waiting for?Free Music Review: Warm, cantabile, singing rendition of Baroque music

I bought this CD to get the full collection of Bach Violin concertos and have been very happy with it. What a nice addition to have the two violin concerto too. I'm working on the Bach Concerto #1 in A minor and this has been a great help. Perlman's playing is clear, and beautiful, and the violin really sings in the solo sections. Zukerman and Perlman do a great job in the double concerto, with the two violins in engaged in a lively and warm conversation. You'll enjoy this CD whether to learn or relax.Free Music Review: Great interpretation

I was looking for a recording of Bach's Concerto No. 1 in A minor so that I could hear how to better play the accompaniment (on piano) and my daughter could hear a master play the piece on violin. We listened to 3 different recordings, and this was our favorite by far. The concerto was played at a great tempo with just the right amount of vibrato.Free Music Review: Perlman shines!
Hit: 5 Stars
As a classic violinist, Itzhak Perlman is amoung the greatest. Add his ability to the genius of Bach then just sit back, relax and enjoy an hour or so of beautiful music.
