Brahms, Tchaikovsky: Violin Concertos in D

Like other reviewers, I'm absolutely amazed at the price of this CD. For less than the price of a fast-food sandwich I've got two excellent performances of two great violin concertos. I didn't go looking for great performances; the finale of the Tchaikovsky concerto had been running through my head for three days non-stop because I couldn't remember how it ended. My CD copy had gone AWOL and I'd never gotten around to loading it on my iPod, so I came to Amazon desperate to find a sample track I could listen to and make the music in my head stop. I found this CD, and its price combined with the favorable reviews made the impulse purchase a given.

Please understand, this disc isn't just good for the price; the performances would still be excellent at two or three-times the price. The sound engineering is also very good, though not perfect. I noticed some harshness in the strings of the Tchaikovsky Allegro moderato movement as I drove in to work this morning. I finally pulled over to twiddle with the settings of my car stereo to see if I could smooth them out, but no luck. I've got it playing in my office now and the harshness is still there, but it disappears in the Brahms. And did I mention that the Brahms performance is my new favorite of that concerto? Bravo to Nathan Milstein.

Itzhak Perlman: Beethoven/Brahms Violin Concertos
$24.98
It's hard to beat this DVD - Two of the best pieces of music ever written (Beethoven and Brahms violin concertos) One of the great soloists alive today, and the Berlin Philharmonic with a talented conductor with great insight into the music (Barenboim). Excellent production, sound and video - A few strange intonation problems in the Brahms still don't prevent me from giving this one 5 stars.
