Click Here for Video Sample! First Studio Album Together On Vinyl LP!
Martha Argerich and Itzhak Perlman. What a combination! Each of them has been recognized for more than 50 years as a supreme musician, but this is their first studio album together.
"Working with Martha was a unique experience for me Her brilliance and the colours she uses when she plays are recognizable as soon as you hear them it's her; nobody else sounds like that I am so excited that we were actually able to record together again When this possibility came along that she might be able to have a couple of days free to record I said, 'I'll go any place!'" Itzhak Perlman
Martha Argerich added: "I feel so stimulated to play with Itzhak, its really a feast fantastic! Its a very special relationship, I am completely enchanted."
Itzhak Perlman and Martha Argerich have recorded a historic first studio album together...18 years after their last album together, a live recital from the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. On that momentous occasion in 1998, the pair performed three of the 19th century's most ambitious and enthralling works for violin and piano Beethovens Kreutzer Sonata, the Franck Violin Sonata and Schumanns Violin Sonata No. 1. The first two sonatas were released in 1999 by EMI Classics (now Warner Classics) in what was the pairs only recording together until now.
