Free Music Review: Masterful and Glorious
Hit: 5 Stars
Recently I heard the beautiful Lalo "Symphonie Espagnole" at a Chicago Symphony concert performed by the orchestra's concertmaster Robert Chen, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However, I felt that it lacked somewhat in individuality. Therefore I went on a quest and purchased several different recordings of it by the following acclaimed violinists: Joshua Bell, Sarah Chang, and Kyung Wha Chung. I'm happy to report that the different recordings and readings are all wonderful and highly recommended. During my search for other recordings, I read the one really negative review of the Perlman rendition and was hesitant to purchase it. Judging from Perlman's great reputation and other wonderful recordings of his that I own, I proceeded to order the CD of the Lalo of which I'm reviewing. I am so happy that I did make this last purchase. As great as the other violinists on my other Lalo "Symphonie Espagnole" recordings are, Perlman really goes to the front of the line in my opinion. His beautiful intonation, amazing technique, and feel for this music (not at all self-indulgent) are just about as perfect as one can hope to get. So much so that if I were forced to keep only one of my Lalo "Symphonie Espagnole" CDs, this would be my choice. Coupled with the Lalo are equally beautiful readings of the Saint-Saens "Violin Concerto No.3" (with a sumptuous middle movement) and the Berlioz "Reverie et Caprice". I might add that not only is Perlman's playing great, but so is that of the Orchestre de Paris conducted by Daniel Barenboim. Lastly, the acoustics and sound of this CD are just as glorious as is the playing. Highly recommended.
Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole; Saint-Saëns: Violin Concerto No. 3 Poster
Saint-Saëns's reputation rests on a few popular works--Danse Macabre, Symphony No. 3, The Carnival of the Animals--but his output was far more vast and varied than most people realize. The Third Violin Concerto is one of the great Romantic masterpieces for the instrument, yet it's much less popular than it once was. Whatever the reasons, they certainly aren't Itzhak Perlman's fault, for he simply plays the daylights out of both this piece and Lalo's ever popular Symphonie espagnole. I'm always amazed, when listening to the Saint-Saëns composition, just how well-written it is, and how good it always sounds. Perhaps his level of sheer craftsmanship was so high that people lose sight of the music's genuine inspiration. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
