A Warner Classics catalog essential, finally reissued on vinyl, remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London!
Not without humor, some agree that this concerto was written against and not for the violin, given how difficult it is to play. Its dedicatee, the violinist Joseph Joachim, had even obtained some revisions from Brahms. Itzhak Perlman rises to the challenge, taking this major piece of the Romantic violin repertoire to new heights of dexterity with incredible energy and keen musicality. No less was expected from this legendary violinist.
