Perlman, Rostropovich, And Haitink: A Line-Up Like Few Others

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2015

Two virtuosos at their instruments, Itzhak Perlman and Mstislav Rostropovich, plus a great conductor, Bernard Haitink, and the world-class Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam can’t help but make for great music making. That is exactly what we have here on this 1980s EMI recording of two great works of the Romantic repertoire.

The E Minor Violin Concerto of Felix Mendelssohn, where Perlman is the soloist, is among the most popular works of its kind, standing next to those of Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Bruch, and Tchaikovsky; and it requires a ton of virtuosity, from its highly dramatic first movement to the free-flowing Andante, and the fast scherzo-like finale in the major tonic. Perlman knows this work from end-to-end, having recorded it at least twice in his time, but he knows that his reputation as being one of the great violinists of the 20th century doesn’t allow him to phone this performance in. And with the solid backing of Haitink and the Concertgebouw Orchestra, he doesn’t need to. He delivers.

The second work on here is the final orchestral work of Johannes Brahms, his Double Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, where Perlman joins with Rostropovich. It is a fairly challenging work for both soloists, composed as it was by Brahms in 1887 for Joseph Joachim (with whom he had resumed their friendship after a falling out of several years) and cellist Robert Hausmann. It was in all likelihood also the first such concerto for these two instruments in the entire repertoire. Having experts like Perlman and Rostropovich interpret this work, with Haitink and company, was an extremely important factor here.

EMI’s sound quality, combined with the fabulous acoustics of the Concertgebouw itself, helps make this, along with all the players involved, a recording well worth having.

Blockbuster playing, but a little variable musically

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2008

Perlman's 1983 recording of the Mendelssohn Violin Cto. can be had a dozen ways from Sunday on various EMI reissues. It's a famous reading that finds the violinist in ultimate, polished form. We're glutted with choices in this work, of course, but the partnership with Hiatink is very stylish and assured, and EMI's sound is fine. On the temperature scale, I'd rate this a fairly cool reading, and as always with Perlman, professionalism makes a bigger impression than personality.

I was more interested in the pairing, a much less well known Brahms Double Cto. from 1989. It's played so virtuosically as to be almsot suffocating, primarily because of Rostropovich's blockbuster style, but the engineers are to blame, too, since they have shoved the microphone an inch away from both soloists. Perlman has no choice but to try and sound as overwhelming as Rostropovich, and he almost manages it, although their temperaments couldn't be fartehr apart. I got the greatest enjoymnent from the quiet second movement, where the blending of voices is astonishingly accurate and sweet-toned. Haitink condcuts vigorously, almost cheerfully -- this is an outgoing, upbeat reading of a work that is more than a little melancholy.

I'm giving four stars as a compromise between virtuosic showmanship and variable musical satisfaction.

Diese CD sollte ein Geschenk sein. Aber nun ist sie doch bei mir verblieben. Ich verstehe wenig von Musik. Aber die Künstler sagten mir etwas und ich bin nicht enttäuscht.
