About this album

A refined and deeply musical reading of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, this 1981 recording brings together Itzhak Perlman, Carlo Maria Giulini and the Philharmonia Orchestra in a performance prized for warmth, balance and expressive poise. One of the central works in the violin repertoire, the concerto combines classical discipline with Romantic breadth, and here it is shaped with long-breathed phrasing and polished orchestral support. Perlman’s singing tone and Giulini’s humane conducting give the score a graceful, lyrical sweep, making this an admired modern account of Beethoven’s most enduring concerto.
