This is truly one of the BEST recordings of this violin sonata that I have ever heard! Perlman and Ashkenzy flow together so beautifully, the voicing is outstanding!!
A sumptuously beautiful work from first to last. Honestly, a creation of this perfection is nothing less than a miracle, in my view. The humanistic version of the prodigies of nature. No words are adequate to praise it.
One of the most romantic pieces of music ever written! I specially like listening to it on a windless summer afternoon when you are certain nothing will distract you!
The opening kindles a warm flame in the coldest of hearts... Reminds us that we're still human, and that there are forces for good in the world. Thank you, thank you Brahms...
Please don't make fun of me but this reminds me of all my beloved dogs I have loved and lost over the years. It's beautiful and bittersweet. I love it.

Two of my favorite artists, who’ve also been very good friends for many decades....that generation, including Barenboim, du Pré, Fou Ts’ong, Pinchas Zukerman, Zubin Mehta, and all of their wives, had zero jealousy or resentment and loved to perform together and create some of the most beautiful music.
I heard this for the first time yesterday, in a documentary (full-length performance by Zuckerman). I then found this performance and listened to it again yesterday. Made me cry my eyes out, and I woke up this morning with the melody from the 1st mvt instantaneously in my mind.
Thank you so much for posting this incredible recording. No one does bittersweet nostalgia better than Brahms, and this sublime sonata is Brahms at his best.
Upon the start of the Adagio I began to cry. I know Clara Schumann's and his own despair over the loss of poor Felix must've been on Brahms's mind as he wrote this powerful work.
Felix was the most gifted of the Schumann children. He was a gifted young poet. Several of his poems were set to music byBrahms. He died of tuberculosis in his early twenties. He looked very much like his father.
me gusta el tempo otorgado a cada frase, lo que permite saborear esta hermosa sonata.. Perlman, como siempre brillante. Vladimir pone el piano en su justa estatura (en otras versiones, el piano se pierde). Violin y piano dialogan magistralmente.
and we have to reach back to 1800s and early 1900s to find good music haha! rachmaninoff put it well I think: "the new music seems to create not from the heart but the head. Its composers think rather than feel. They have not the capacity to make their works exalt - they meditate, protest, analyze, reason, calculate and brood, but they do not exalt.”
@@mcrettable But nowadays that is exactly what it's being said in almost every context, be it in sound engineering, music performance, composition and improvization; etc. Even in other artistic areas. Maybe the issues in present days aren't exactly what Rachmaninoff meant, or maybe the things claimed today don't mean what they state.
Thank you for this superb version of one of the violin's loveliest sonatas. Both superb artists-Ashkenazy in his role was as perfect as I'd anticipated but I felt Perlman's violin voicing shone more brilliantly than that of all other violinists' whom I have heard play this.
I studied so much solo piano when I attended conservatory, but I think this is my favorite thing I ever learned and performed. Maybe I’d still be in music if I studied collaborative piano instead…
I can't really find words to describe this recording!!!! It's pure magic in every way! Both musicians are at their peak. It is just a warm bath in a turbulent world! SUPER, SUPER, SUPER!!!!! I hope no. 2 and 3 are coming also on youtube, please?????. Try also the recording (DGG) of Augustin Dumay and Maria Jao Pires! thank you again!
I find Dumay's sound to be sort of oddly distant and metallic - quite different from the warmth of Perlman's. I appreciate Dumay's straightforward approach to reading and playing though. I wish the two could be combined in some way!
