Itzhak Perlman The Complete Warner s

undefined

"It is quite impossible to imagine today's violin heritage without the absolute musical genius of Perlman." -Daniel Barenboim Itzhak Perlman: The Complete Warner s embraces every aspect of Perlman's art. It contains concertos (the ‘essential' concertos, of course, but also more rarely-heard works, including Perlman's own commissions from living composers); other pieces for violin and orchestra; chamber music; recital and crossover repertoire (including jazz, ragtime and klezmer), and even a disc that focuses on Perlman as narrator and (briefly) opera singer. The s document his collaborations with the world's greatest orchestras and an array of superlative fellow-soloists and conductors, including Martha Argerich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Barenboim, Plácido Domingo, Carlo Maria Giulini, Bernard Haitink, Lynn Harrell, Yo Yo Ma, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn and Pinchas Zukerman. Itzhak Perlman: The Complete Warner s has been assembled with the greatest care. The s from the analogue era have been carefully remastered in 24-bit/96kHz sound at Abbey Road Studios, ensuring MfiT quality for the digital version on iTunes and HD quality for HD platforms. The format and presentation of each album is true to the original LP release: the couplings of musical works have been retained and the design reflects the original jacket. New notes on the music and the performances have been written by an internationally respected expert on violinists and violin-playing, Jean-Michel Molkhou. The box set also contains a beautifully produced hardback book, featuring a wealth of photographs, many of them from private collections and never before published. Running to more than 100 pages, it contains a new interview with Itzhak Perlman (written by Jean-Michel Molkhou), an essay on his life and career and personal tributes from distinguished and varied fellow musicians, including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Barenboim, Renaud Capuçon, Ivry Gitlis, Gidon Kremer, Yo Yo Ma, Vadim Repin and Maxim Vengerov. Complementing Itzhak Perlman: The Complete Warner s is a 3-CD box called The Perlman Sound, released in September 2015. This features a selection of the most popular works and s from the complete edition and eloquently summarises just why Itzhak Perlman is regarded as the supreme violinist of his time.
