Itzhak Perlman, the renowned violin virtuoso, invites you to revisit the classics that shaped his early musical journey with "Concertos from My Childhood." Released in 2015 under Warner Classics, this album is a delightful collection of five enchanting works that Perlman has generously shared with young musicians and enthusiasts alike.
The album features a mix of well-loved and lesser-known pieces, including concertos by Rieding, Seitz, Accolay, De Bériot, and Viotti. Perlman's masterful performances are accompanied by The Juilliard Orchestra, conducted by Lawrence Foster, creating a rich and vibrant soundscape that spans a little over an hour.
From the lively "Allegro moderato" of Rieding's Violin Concerto in B Minor to the graceful "Adagio" of Viotti's Violin Concerto No. 22 in A Minor, each track showcases Perlman's exceptional artistry and technical brilliance. The album is a testament to Perlman's enduring love for these pieces, offering a unique opportunity to experience them through the lens of one of the greatest violinists of our time.
Whether you're a seasoned classical music aficionado or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, "Concertos from My Childhood" promises a captivating journey through the timeless beauty of these classical works.
