 Perlman shines! November 18, 2009
Desert Dor (Arizona)
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.
a Daily Deal great find July 10, 2009

I noticed this album in the mp3 newsletter in the top mp3 album list for $0.99 one day, so I bought it, as I am a fan of both Bach's music and Itzhak Perlman's performances. Where I work, the radio reception isn't all that great, and we are not allowed to use the internet for non-business purposes, so that leaves both Pandora radio and the public radio station out. I don't usually want to listen to the few stations that we can pick up inside our building, so that leaves me with CD's and mp3 albums I've made from digital downloads. This album is perfect for listening to in the background while you're doing other things (such as office work).
 Inviting concertos for the casual classical fan January 17, 2009
Nathan Beauchamp (Oak Park, IL USA)
I am neither a musician nor a huge classical music fan. However, I do enjoy classical music on occasion and especially Bach. This seemed an ideal collection of his concertos for a very reasonable price. I am quite pleased with it overall. The music is warm, engaging and rich. Perfect for a relaxing evening of reading, this collection plays equally well as a standalone experience with good quality headphones.
While I am not a classical music aficionado, I am an audiophile and pay close attention to recording quality. This is very well recorded, but in the lossy mp3 album format which I purchased there is some blurring in the higher ranges. This is to be expected, but if you want pristine audio quality I suggest purchasing the CD instead of the mp3 album.
Very pleasing March 15, 2008

I can understand the criticism and praise from the reviewers on this interpretation. Once again, it's a matter of taste and ultimately liking the balance between technical skill and expression. Sometimes the tempi can alter the course of appreciation as well, and I think that's more the case here.
To my ear, this is a very solid and beautiful rendition. Perlman plays with a very distinct crispness and Zukerman contributes handsomely on this recording. The slow movement of the double violin concerto has almost a pulse to it which is unique but I don't find it distracting or taking away from the movement at all. All the pieces are played beautifully with feeling and mastery of technique. I have several versions of these pieces and this is the one I come back to most often.
good audio quality, interesting interpretations October 3, 2007
Charlie Blackwood (Cambridge, MA)
Most people reading this will have heard Bach's violin concertos many times before, so it's really the performers' interpretations that make this album special. All the performances are very good-to-outstanding, but far too subject to one's individual taste to properly rate. But if you love Bach, this is absolutely worth a listen.
