For many, Itzhak Perlman is considered the largest living violinist. At the beginning of his extensive record career, Perlman, who was born in Tel Aviv on 31 August 1945, was under contract with RCA. His first recordings, including the concerts of Tchaikovsky and Sibelius (with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Erich Leinsdorf) and the sonatas by Prokofiev (with Vladimir Ashkenazy), suddenly made him internationally known in the mid-1960s. His velvet expressive tone, his natural virtuosity and brilliance still fascinate the listener today. Perlman's special passion for chamber music testify to Ernest Chausson's rare concerto for violin, piano and string quartet (with the Juilliard String Quartet and Jorge Bolet) by Ernest Chausson (for CBS) or the brahms sonata with Daniel Barenboim (for Sony Classical). Perlman also highlighted the compositional rank of Paganini's works, which have been labelled as a pure virtuoso food in many places. Not to be missed is his dedication to film music - especially through him, the touching theme from Spielberg's Schindler list, composed by John Williams, became a world-famous hit. But Perlman also dedicated Hollywood classics or contemporary composers such as Tan Dun to successful albums, which are released here for the first time on 18 CDs from the period from 1964 to 2012.
