I have to disagree. Perlman was and is very VERY respected as a musician and an artist. Perlman is often considered better than many of the older legends such as Oistrakh, Milstein or even Heifetz. Even Heifetz was impressed by Perlman when he visited the Julliard school. Perlman also mentioned that he practised around 3 to 4 hours a day, except when there was an upcoming concert, when he'd practise 5 hours a day.

First night I was 5th row center, second night I went to the balcony to hear the difference. It was a stunning performance....simul-cast by KLEF radio....which I recorded...and still own. The difference between Perlman and the last couple generations of violinists is, he approaches the audience with the attitude, "I want to tell you a beautiful story, which I love". The others are "Watch how fast I can play, watch me stray from the score because you don't realize I'm just on an ego trip". Perlman is class....A-Z.

Una autentica maravilla, este Concierto de Brahms para violin y orquesta Op.77, es, por antonomasia, mi favorito, lo escucho con fervor , me meto en la piel del director y conduzco cada nota con pasión. Bendito seas J. Brahms, por dejarnos tan bella composición por los siglos de los siglos.

[@willy65591]

Brahms escribió solo las notas, hay que tocarlas, gracias al violinista es que las escuchan. Bien tocado. 😳

[@francanino4190]

One of my favorites! Wonderful!

[@gabryc.3004]

Maestro Perlman qualcuno nei commenti ti ha descritto non solo come una PERLA ma come un DIAMANTE... È vero un vero diamante di violinista

Thank you for this lusciously rich performance of the wonderful Brahms. Perlman has always been entertaining and his enharmonics (as well as everything else) fabulous. The orchestra here was terrific too. Thank you.

Yes, a well tuned orchestra and master violinist is key to a successful performance. Teamwork works and two are matched by the response from the subscribers and the music community! Congratulations for this great work and interpretations from the performer and talented artist, Bravo!

Best violin concerto ever written

The violin 🎻. The sweetest sound in the world--when played by an expert. The violin 🎻 the worst sound in the world--when played by a novice. Perlman Sound. Among the sweetest in the world 🌎! His violin 🎻 is one with him and it speaks to him with love 💕. Brahms/Perlman/his violin. The sweetest sounds in the world 🌎.

[@oucutie1]

iconoclast Umami! Strange word. Had to look it up, so, to reply to your reply the answer is yes (I guess so). Whether you call it a violin 🎻 or a fiddle the sound imo is best described as sweet and Perlman/Bell are masters at bringing out the ‘sweetness’. Umami if you will. 😆 Lol.

[@oucutie1]

iconoclast Thank you for educating me to a new word. That meant I had very good day since I went to bed smarter than when I woke up! Food Network? Nope. Don’t watch T.V. Btw, the violin, the sweetest sound. 💞🎻

I can only agree!

I meant, agree to the original comment.

Excelente, Brahms es de mis favoritos.

[@lesliesepssy9222]

The cinsrant variable of typical Brahms is astonishing, miles apart from Beethowen, who is very harmonic and symetrical, but Brahms, someone else again! These composers are a delight to our souls, that for sure! Enjoy!! excelent interpretation on the violin! Well done indeed!
