Perlman/ Yo-Yo Ma/ Barenboim - Beethoven: Triple Concerto

First time available on 180-gram vinyl!

Though concertos with more than one solo instrument were common in the Baroque era, their popularity waned throughout the Classical and Romantic periods. Mozart's Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola, Beethoven's Triple Concerto for piano, violin and cello, and then Brahms' Double Concerto for violin and cello would be the most impressive exceptionts to that rule.

Itzhak Perlman, who has recorded all three of these works, laid down early versions of the Brahms (EMI/Warner, 1979) and the Mozart (DG, 1982), but waited far longer to commit his own interpretation of the Beethoven to disc.

Here a starry but congenial trio, Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma and Daniel Barenboim interact with each other and with the Berlin Philharmonic in Beethoven's extraordinary Triple Concerto. Released for the first time on 180-gram vinyl.
