The element of slight understatement, the refusal to adopt too romantically expressive a style, makes for a compelling strength, perfectly matched by Giulini's thoughtful, direct accompaniment. The beautiful slow movement has a quality of gentle rapture...and the finale, joyfully and exuberantly fast, is charged with the fullest excitement." -- The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs
"This is a very distinguished performance indeed, as much from Giulini as from Perlman, and it won the Gramophone Concerto Award 1981. It is one where one's senses tell one from the start that nothing will mar the enjoyment; how this should be I do not know, but immediate distinction is already apparent and it is never lost... The liquid smoothness of the wind playing is another joy... The slow movement has the utmost calm beauty from both soloist and orchestra, while Perlman plays the finale at an admirably swift speed, yet with all the flexibility it needs, so that it really dances lightly... The clarity of the orchestral texture is outstanding." -- Gramophone
And a new Tchaikovsky by Hillary Hahn, too. Also on sale $13. She is a monster.
