Beautiful togetherness with these two. Perlman makes his violin dazzle, especially in the largo, like sunlight shimmering and glittering on water. Such moment-by-moment sonority. My favourite violinist.
Yet, despite her very young age (she is just 13 now), Himari Yoshimura is already clearly superior to Perlman in practically every aspect of the violin playing. Perlman is very talented, but Himari is a superior genius. The tone colors she is capable to produce for instance, thanks to a total and very delicate control of the contact between string and bow: really unique.
At times, it seems to me as if having been performed and recorded separately, and then juxtaposed... It sounds alive, vivid, anyway, especially the last movement...
