beautiful balance April 9, 2009
Kurt (Halifax, Canada)
This is a great performance of a lovely group of pieces. I find the balance and interplay between the piano and violin some of the best I have ever heard. We all know Perlman to be the great artist he is, but Samuel Sanders one of the best, most thoughtful accompanists I have ever heard. The Vol. 2 is even better and gets 5 stars.
Selection of Songs? July 2, 2006
Brahms (NY, US)
Perlman is a man of extraordinary clarity and tonality also one of my favorite violinists. After I finish practicing a piece I usually find a recording to listen to different interpretations. Most of them are by Perlman and Heifetz. Unfortunately this album has some obscure songs and the songs itself do not do justice to Perlman what some other songs may have done. Still it is important to broaden the scope, so I would recommend this to all music connoisseurs :). btw i'm only 16 so...don't take this review too literal huh?

This is "THE" Greatest Hits alum by Perlman December 3, 2000
10 out of 17 found this review helpful
Perlam is already a great player like the whole world knows. But the music selection couldn't better! I espacily like the piano accomplimant. Perlman pays the pieces with true style. The working realtionship between Perlman and the Pianist is truly incredible. Before geting any of Perlman's other greatest hits albums, get this one!
 This is a relaxing, however, somewhat disjointed collection. November 12, 1998
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This collection of familiar tunes will provide a relaxing hour with one of the world's premier violinists. However, the combination of "The Old Folks at Home" and "Motto perpetuo" is somewhat difficult to assimilate. At any rate, Perlman is a listener's joy!
