Warner Music Itzhak Perlman - The Perlman Sound, LP Vinyl Classic

No one could deny that Itzhak Perlman holds a special place in the world of music - and no one could define it more eloquently than his old friend and colleague, the pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim: 'It is quite impossible to imagine today's violin heritage without the absolute musical genius of Perlman.' The most obvious manifestation of that genius is the famous Perlman Sound - lustrous, warm and generous, its impact compounded by often astounding virtuosity; and yet Perlman makes it all look so easy. In fact, he communicates a positive joy in his playing. Released for Mr Perlman's 70th birthday, this lavish collector's vinyl edition makes an ideal gift.
