 Very pleasing March 15, 2008

I can understand the criticism and praise from the reviewers on this interpretation. Once again, it's a matter of taste and ultimately liking the balance between technical skill and expression. Sometimes the tempi can alter the course of appreciation as well, and I think that's more the case here.
To my ear, this is a very solid and beautiful rendition. Perlman plays with a very distinct crispness and Zukerman contributes handsomely on this recording. The slow movement of the double violin concerto has almost a pulse to it which is unique but I don't find it distracting or taking away from the movement at all. All the pieces are played beautifully with feeling and mastery of technique. I have several versions of these pieces and this is the one I come back to most often.
 good audio quality, interesting interpretations October 3, 2007
Most people reading this will have heard Bach's violin concertos many times before, so it's really the performers' interpretations that make this album special. All the performances are very good-to-outstanding, but far too subject to one's individual taste to properly rate. But if you love Bach, this is absolutely worth a listen.

These are good-to-excellent performances on a bargain disc. Probably the best single disc set of these concertos at any price.

I was looking for a recording of Bach's Concerto No. 1 in A minor so that I could hear how to better play the accompaniment (on piano) and my daughter could hear a master play the piece on violin. We listened to 3 different recordings, and this was our favorite by far. The concerto was played at a great tempo with just the right amount of vibrato.
Enjoyable CD at great price February 8, 2007

Bought this CD to round out a larger order and was happily surprised with both the quality of this CD, the beauty of the music, and the great price. Very nice buy!
