The essence of French music, blending graceful melodies with exquisite technique.
Featuring masterpieces by Saint-Saëns and Ravel, this collaboration features Perlman's lustrous tone and Martinon's soft conducting.
Itzhak Perlman's violin is expansive and has a warm core to his sound. It blends naturally with the soft resonance of the Orchestre de Paris, richly portraying the poetic sentiment of each piece. The phrasing is flowing smoothly, and the intonation is imbued with delicate emotional expression. Martinon's conducting is calm and dignified, and the overall performance exudes the clarity unique to French music. A classical masterpiece that fuses technique and emotion at a high level.
