Product Description Limited edition, 25 CDs. Deutsche Grammophon celebrates the 70th birthday of Itzhak Perlman (31 August 2015) with this original jackets' box set. Between 1968 and 2001, Perlman recorded 25 albums for DG and Decca - many of them classics - partnered by some of the greatest artists of his time, including Ashkenazy, Levine, Barenboim and more. With new liner notes, an introduction by Itzhak Perlman himself and recording sessions' photos, this set makes a fitting tribute to a great artist. Review Happy Birthday, my dear friend! How meaningful to have enjoyed such a long friendship with you since our teen years! Congratulations on this unique legacy from Universal it was a privilege to join you for a couple of these recordings. This set will serve as a wonderful example of the best violin playing and traditions for generations to come. --Pinchas ZukermanWe really got to know each other at the end of the 1960s, and when we performed together for the first time, it was Schuberts Piano Trio no. 1 with my first wife, Jacqueline du Pré. Since then we have played and recorded a lot of music together, especially the sonatas of Brahms and Mozart. Itzhak is one of the greatest violinists of our time. The courage with which he has faced his disability is quite exceptional, since many predicted that it would be impossible for him to make a career while playing the violin seated. The emotional impact of each of his stage appearances is quite simply unique, and I particularly recall the audience s response when he made his Berlin Philharmonic debut under my direction in 1970. While his musical approach has evolved over time, Itzhak has also preserved his virtuoso aspect in the good sense of the term, which derives from virtue and he has done so, moreover, with incredible ease. He is also a family man, very close to his nearest and dearest and, as such, very much in the old Jewish tradition. This seventieth anniversary gives us a chance to celebrate the life and work of a great artist who is entirely worthy of our admiration. --Daniel Barenboim

fun times big love music by the best
this is my first purchase of mr Perlman's work. i got it a few months ago. since then i have purchased his warners complete release and the 9disc sony product. so in a matter of two months at best he went from some one i heard about to a new love of my life. what an infectious style of playing. you can feel the love emanate from his music. he loves to play. we get the easy part we get to listen. pretty neat.

WHAT A COLLECTION OF SUPERB ENJOYMENT!
WONDERFUL! I am just starting to listen this morning starting with Vivaldi. His violin playing is SO SMOOTH, not screechy like many violinists are. Have ALWAYS enjoyed his playing. This box set is so well worth the money. If you like quality playing of Beethoven, Ravel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, plus others, you are in for a treat.If there are any problems on later discs I will mention, but for now I am in Heaven!

Absolutely Lovely Music, But Poor Production Quality Control
There is no doubt that this music is very beautiful. I am only through CDs 1 to 8. But I am becoming very aware of a production problem at the location(s) where DG's CDs are produced. Namely, one in four or five CDs are very dusty/dirty to the extent that not only is there static but the CDs will not play without many missed sections. I have encountered this problem not only on this set of CDs from DG but also from several other sets, including the 95 CD set of Beethoven on DG. This problem was also on Hillary Hahn's Paris CD. DG really must get its act together regarding the cleanliness of their facilities and quality control. Fortunately, I am quite expert at safely cleaning CDs, but I wish my expertise was not put to the test so often by DG products. Fortunately, all my attempts at cleaning the CDs as needed were totally successful.

Superb collection
Superb collection from one of the big guys! Sad it lacks some more Bach or Beethoven Violin Concerto or at least a DG recorded Triple.

Great set by a great record label of a great musician.
Some of the greatest recordings of the greatest violinist of today. Thank you, Maestro Perlman, for your beautiful work.Curiously though, CD #15 is from Decca. Not that I'm complaining of course...

まあまあ楽しめました。
パールマンは好きなヴァイオリニストではありませんが、コレクターとして購入しました。個性あふれる凄い演奏ではないですが、それなりに楽しめました。
