BEETHOVEN / PERLMAN, YO-YO-MA, BARENBOIM - Triple Concerto, Fantasy (CD, 1995)

Description: BEETHOVEN / PERLMAN, YO-YO-MA, BARENBOIM - Triple Concerto, Choral Fantasy (CD, 1995) I own both this version and Oistrakh/Rostropovich/Richter/Karajan's version. I prefer the tempo in this version, just slightly faster than Karajan, making the music more lively. Collaboration between the soloists and the orchestra is perfect, where in Karajan's version the soloists pushes the tempo a little faster than the orchestra once in a while. It is arguable whether this (Karajan version) is an artistic choice or disagreement on the speed, since both recordings are produced by the most renowned musicians. However, the BPO definitely lack the grandness under Karajan. I feel it is a shame that Karajan wasn't conducting the live concert. In terms of recording, I hope there is a little more detail in the lower range. Live concert might be the reason. Different acoustics, different arrangement of microphones. The music sound a little light occasionally. Ma's cello-voice is generally softer than Perlman and Barenboim. It is almost hard to hear him in places. It is a shame because of his beautiful performance and great control on the tone color. This is one of my most favorite recordings, but it is not perfect so I had to give a four-star. Don't get me wrong, the performance is absolutely legendary. -- Jason Factory sealed in shrink wrap. Satisfaction Guaranteed! FREE SHIPPING TO DOMESTIC ADDRESSES!
