Some years ago i was in a hospital. There was a patient listening to this music and i ased him, what music is that? So he told me, he was a terminal patient and as his time was running out fast he only listened to the music worthwhile listining to. As this masterpiece surely is. Now, some years later, it is nearly my turn. Only heaven can hold more beautiful music then this. Dirk

This violin concerto introduced me to classical music when I was 12. I found Perlman's rendition in the local library on tape cassette, 43 years later and it is still my favourite concerto. I learned to play the violin as a result. I would pretend to be the conductor, waving my chopsticks in the air, tears running down my face, such was the beauty of this concerto. The first movement alone is a masterpiece (almost a symphony in itself). Perlman is on another level, and I have yet to find another violinist come near his interpretation of Beethoven's one and only violin concerto, thank you thank you thank you...

[@bigalexg]

Some of my first memories are of my Daddy upstairs in his den playing the first movement over and over again, he must have been obsessed with it. I was too shy to go upstairs and listen alongside him so I sat entranced at the bottom of the stairs - the same flight of stairs I am looking at now, 65 years later, alone with my cats in the house I inherited from my dear parents. This was late 50's or early 60's. The performer, I learned much later, was Suzanne Lautenbacher. I was barely more than a baby and this was probably the first piece of classical music I ever heard. It made a big impression! At the time I didn't realize the impression made was one of a kind - that only as an innocent child could a piece of great music so magically entrance you - at the time it was just beautiful music I loved. Daddy eventually stopped playing it and the years passed and I forgot all about it until one day, when I was maybe 23, I was digging through his old LP collection and I found it. I put it on and with those first few drum beats tears started streaming . . .it was overwhelmingly beautiful and nostalgic. By the time I got to the cadenza (the solo portion, the one by Fritz Kreisler, also played by Pearlman here) I was back there again and in a Proustian epiphany I had remembered not just that time and how it felt but I remembered and regained "child", or some faint echo of it at least. Ever since then I have been obsessed. The effect on me is something more than music. This movement is, for me, an object of special power, unique in the universe, a portal back to that time and back to the heart and mind of that tiny child who sat in awe at the bottom of these stairs.

He was also an accomplished composer and conductor of the Houston Youth Symphony back in the 70s. Later on in life he took up the balilika and played with the Houston Balilika Society. He also taught violin and piano. Dad was constantly in demand for concerts and other various events. He brought all of us up being involved in music and the arts. I myself played violin with the Houston Youth Symphony and attended school at the prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts... but I was never more than a mediocre fiddlist.

I've seen Perlman in Person, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. What a treat! I have to say I shed quite a few tears with that performance.

[@Alleecats]

My man introduced me to Classical music years ago. I am so grateful for it. Beethoven is his favorite and he spends many hours listening to it. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of it because of him.

[@rogermetzger7335]

Beautiful beyond words. And there is my violin lying over there on a chair wishing I could play it like that.

Perlman did a workshop at our college. He asked students to hand him their violins and bows. He proved he could make any violin sing ! Wow. Every cheap violin sounded wonderful in his masterful hands.

[@midwestmatthew9752]

Just watching Perlman tune his violin was inspiring. He made more beautiful music in those few seconds of open strings than I've played in 33 years as an amateur violinist.

[@dorothearussell304]

I first heard this concerto on the radio while driving my car. In the last movement, I parked so I could listen properly. I loved it so much! When my dad asked me a little later if I had a wish for a Christmas present, I asked for a CD of this. Funny side story: I had listened so carefully not to miss the name of the piece that I did miss that it was a request radio program. So when the presenter said it was Beethoven's violin concerto for Mrs or Mr X, I heard violin concerto 4 and sent my dad to look for it 😂 My poor dad got a bit confused that he couldn't find more than one violin concerto by Beethoven.... 🤣

[@ichigokurosaki6213]

The way Perlman played cadenza is godly. Cadenza is the most difficult in a piece and it is played by soloist.

I grew up in Appalachia, never exposed to Beethoven. Somewhere I came by a cd of this in the 70s. I drove from Newhall CA to West LA for work. During my drive I listened to this and traffic didn’t bother me. It is so spiritually transcendent it defies words. Perlman is really great. DB is no slacker. Fantastic.

The great tragedy is that Beethoven only composed a single violin concerto. It was not well received initially and then not until after his death. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music every created, and Perlman plays effortlessly and with infectious joy. If I only had one piece of classical music to listen to, this would be it.

[@leoathanatos9492]

Dear David, When such a perfect play is delivered to the world - as Perlman offered us! - is done... there's no need for more! Any violin concert can be wonderful, amazing, incredible.... this one - Perlman, Barenboim... - is the absolute gift to us...

[@ekaram63]

It is hard to top this. Why even trying?

[@elainepaurel3949]

The main theme in the last movement always gives me the image of a child trying to entice a parent to join in play. The orchestra's echo is the parent lumbering along after the child skips lightly.

[@chuckcornelius194]

And to think that Beethoven almost committed suicide! He was in the depths of despair over his declining health and hearing loss, and stated in a letter that he had strongly considered suicide, but decided not to, because of the importance of his "art." (See the two-hour Beethoven documentary that came out a couple years ago.) Thank God for that!! If he had killed himself, this piece and other of his best works would never have been created.

ugh! the way the violin just sings

[@johnwoods7650]

The first time I heard this concerto was when I was in 9th grade, and suffering from the serious congestion produced by a cold. I was lying down in front of the fireplace, listening to the concerto and my father was sitting on the sofa, and I found myself sobbing through the entire piece, its beauty affecting me deeply.
