Amazon.co.uk Review
When Itzhak Perlman recorded this disc, many critics were surprised by the sobriety and quiet poetry of his interpretation, as though his many fine chamber-music recordings did not provide ample evidence of Perlman's qualities as a "serious" musician. Although beautifully written for the instrument, Beethoven's sole Violin Concerto does not offer many opportunities for the kind of virtuoso fireworks that have made Perlman famous. But as all great musicians will, he turned this fact to his own advantage. This sensitive, profound performance has already passed into legend as a classic in every sense of the word. --David Hurwitz

Such great music and performances again so cheaply available. This particular performance has such quality and expression I would be hard pressed to find better.

I had this recording on a tape cassette that I wore out. I think it is one of the finest examples of expressive virtuosity available. The emotional quality combined with astounding technique is what we expect from Perlman, and we are not disappointed.

In my opinion it is very difficult to identify one version of a work as great as this . Different interpretations can tell you so much more about a work .That said this marvellous recording from the early 1980s was my introduction to a 25 year long love affair with this piece . Perlman spins tone of gold whilst also allowing introspection in the slow movement . That said I wouldn't be without Menuhin/Furtwangler on Testament, Oistrakh/Cluytens on EMI or Hilary Hahn on Sony either
Great recording June 3, 2004

This recording is incredibly clear and distinguished in terms of conducting, as well as perfectly played by violinist Perlman. All aspects of the orchestra are blended wonderfully, the bassoon in the finale was impressive - a very smooth delivery without forcing it's delivery in the slightest. This version is the definitive one. I find no faults with it, whereas the EMI version with Yehudi Menuhin lacks the punch and consistency of this marvellous recording
