Itzhak Perlman is the greatest living exponent of the Romantic, sentimental style of violin playing. As in his reading of the Brahms concerto, he shows sovereign mastery in these accounts, which are characterized by intense emotion and heated expression (Perlman's warm vibrato and carefully placed portamentos quickly give him away), but are also gripping in the quiet, meditative pages. The first two sonatas' relationship to songs could easily be guessed from the way Perlman plays them in a single, seamless line, marked by soaring climaxes and tender, haunting pianissimos. The treatment sometimes does seem a bit premeditated, but it is so compelling as to sweep aside any criticism. In this 1983 recording (sonically superior to Perlman's later remake with pianist Daniel Barenboim, for Sony), the violin sounds slightly forward, though not unpleasantly so. Warm, supportive, lyrical playing from Vladmir Ashkenazy rounds out a marvelous offering. --Ted Libbey

Brahms Violin Sonatas.......2007-01-11

Good but not top flight. This is an old recording--sounds a little tired.

these are really good sonatas.......2005-10-10

These three sonatas are in my opinion some of the best compositions of Brahms. They are wonderfully tunefull and each sets a distinct mood (although all three are somewhat melancholic). The interaction of the violin and piano is just fantastic and Perlman and Ashkenazy pull it off well. Sound quality is great as well.

Brahms.......2005-10-07

I bought this for my college age daughter's music class and I am enjoying it as well. Violin music, of any sort, is enjoyable to listen to and this one is a wonderful addition to a music library.

Finest Brahms.......2002-05-22

I've always enjoyed Brahms' chamber works more than his symphonies. Somehow his intent comes off more clearly; the desperation and anger and melancholy of the music is more exposed, as if juggling an entire orchestra in the composition could dull the edges of these emotions. Of course the quality of any piece is tied with the quality of the performers (who invariably stamp then with their own personalities), and here we have a brilliant union: Perlman and Ashkenazy play flawlessly. Perlman's tonality is clear and sonorous, but never treacly; it still maintains the edge that these pieces require. From the sweet lilting melodies of the first sonata to simmering violence of the third, it is a commanding performance. The piano part in these works is equally demanding, and Ashkenazy is more than a match for Perlman's virtuosity.

If you're looking for the third sonata specifically, Vengerov and Barenboim turn in a more stirring (but somewhat looser) performance on the Teldec label. I actually prefer that version as it's more intense, more intimate. But if you're looking for a complete collection of these wonderful sonatas, you simply can't go wrong with Perlman and Ashkenazy.

Perlman and Ashkenazy do it again.......2001-07-24

The combination of these two great artists continually results in some of the finest music making ever. The two seem to almost share a mind while performing so perfectly in tune with each other they come across. I don't think Brahms has ever sounded so beautiful and alive as this recording manages to sound.

Fascinating Mozart.......2007-01-04

This is one of several collections with two famous performers.
They blend very well together. Haebler seems to be the leader of the two.
Her performance is well articulated and convincing.
It is interesting to listen to this interpretation, especially after
the last Mozart jubilee. Everybody has been doing his music and there has been a search for the "real Mozart".
He has once again escaped everybody. But in this now "historic" performance with Haebler and Szeryng he seems to be quite close.
The musicality is on a very high level and their approach is very
earnest.
Although I prefer Lili Kraus and Szymon Goldberg in these works,
the sound here is much better and Haebler has just as much personality
in her interpretation as Kraus on hers. And they are quite different
from each other.
Summing up, I recommend the recording for everybody who has interest
in these sonatas.

The Mature Violin Sonatas.......2005-06-01

Philips has selected the best 16 of Mozart's 35 sonatas for piano and violin on four CD's (Vol. 1, 2). So, does one need to hear all 35 sonatas? Probably not as the early ones (1-16) were written by a "tween" Mozart for their early prodigy tours and are not near the stature of those written 10 years later and beyond. The ealier mature works on "Violin Sonatas I" tend to possess that Mozart innocence and lyricism so fitting for the parlor. The later works here on Violin Sonatas Vol. 2 - like most of any composer's later works - tend to be the most mature, the most perfect of form, the richest and most imaginative. A quote from 'The Compleat Mozart' gives a useful historical perspective on these later violin sonatas:

"K.379, 376, 377 and 380 are works of great historic significance: they are the first important chamber works Mozart wrote after his decision to stay in Vienna as a free artist and constitute his visiting card as a composer. The grand style of 'Idomeneo' is still ringing in them and other moments foreshadow `The Abduction from the Seraglio ... They are rich in new ideas, showing traces of musical genius ... very brilliant, and well suited to the instrument. Moreover, the violin accompaniment is so ingeniously combined with the piano ... and thus these sonatas demand a violinist an accomplished as the pianist."

These sonatas are magnificantly played by Szeryng and Haebler - a partnership that was renowned for its seamless musicianship. Music author David Dubal says of the Austrian pianist Ingrid Haebler: "An artist who plays with polish and taste. Her Mozart is especially admired for these qualities. Her playing has refinement and geniality, as well as a very special tone quality." Agreed. Equally, the emaculate playing of Polish violinist, Henrynk Szeryng, finds just the right shape, line and nuance for this music to elicit that 18th-century parlor charm.

I heard an interesting story about Szeryng's choice of instruments that some might find interesting: "Many famous virtuoso violinists have chosen to play Guarnerius rather than Stradivarius violins, a fact not generally known to the public. At one time Polish virtuoso Henryk Szeryng owned two Stradivarius violins and one Guarnerius. Eventually, he donated the two Strads to worthy musical institutions and kept only the Guarnerius. Szeryng treasured his Guarnerius so much that, when he travelled, he bought two seats -- one for himself and one for his Guarnerius."

It is hard to fault much in the wonderful Philips DUO set when the music is so well performed and so typically pleasant and galante Mozart. ABout the only negative thing might be the sound quality - which is clean but lacks a truly satisfying fullness and richness of tone that are found in newer recordings (like Hahn, Steinberg)... but nothing to discourage enjoyment. Penguin Guide gave this set a top 3-star rating as well as listing it as one of their "Recommended Recordings" (for building a collection). Hard to say which to get first - Vol. 1 or 2 - both are recommended and both contain important works. Also, consider the legendary recordings by Arthur Grumiaux or the newer ones Hilary Hahn/Natalie Zhu for this genre if you are comparing choices.

the Musical Version of 1001 Nights.......2003-02-26

The best Mozart Sonatas so far.

This is a musical version of 1001 Nights of the most civilised kind: no one could possibly grow tired of them.

Perlman once said he had problem of finding whom the violinist is though he is good. Quite right, it's because when Szeryng played Mozart, he completely captured the essense of Mozart as demonstrated here, and when he played Bach, even Hilary Hahn said he had got everything she is aiming at.

It's nothing like the later players, always exhibiting themselves, their sentimentality or else "technique" ( in the narrow sense) rather than serving the composer or the violin. Szeryng spoke more languages than Arthur Rubinstein, 7 altogether. Such is his supreme power of self-abnegation, linguistically and musically alike. As such it's quite beyond those egoists who could only speak one language and would complain that the rest of the world don't do the same.

These CDs triggered me to buy Szeryng/Haebler's Beethoven Sonatas. Not quite as good. My preliminary impression : Haebler's Beethoven isn't quite as good. I also tried Szeryng/Rubinstein, but I have problems at times, not always, in taking relish on Rubinstein. Rubinstein did grow with age, but the marks of self-inflicted wastage were always there. Who knows when he is on and when he is not. More often than not, what we we get is a mixed bag.

Don't hesitate, buy them and volume I as well.

In the main, the youthful Beethoven chamber music collaborations between Daniel Barenboim, Pinchas Zuckerman, and the late Jacqueline du Pré are characterized by broad, liberally fluctuating tempos, ripeness of tone, and a tendency to place expression ahead of stylistic considerations. Zuckerman's sweet vibrato, for instance, seems misplaced in Beethoven's terse, combative syntax (the earlier trios and violin sonatas, for example). Likewise, du Pré's throbbing solo lines impose a late-Romantic patina on the music that some listeners will find more appropriate to Arensky or Glazunov. More often than not, Daniel Barenboim's piano provides the decisive voice, by way of setting tempos and effecting transitions.

While the leaner, more economically expressive Abegg Trio (Tacet) and Vienna Piano Trio (Nimbus) Beethoven Trio offerings better reflect the composer's headlong brio and nervous energy, the Barenboim-Zuckerman-Du Pré team oozes sheer musicality and involvement in every bar. For this reason, one might well prefer Zuckerman and Barenboim's overwrought rapport in the Violin Sonatas to the violinist's tighter RCA remakes with Marc Neikrug at the piano. Du Pré's tragic illness prevented her and Barenboim from tackling the Cello Sonatas in the studio. Happily, their exciting, communicative live 1970 Edinburgh Festival traversals (plus the variation sets) were broadcast by the BBC and captured in excellent sound. So was a touchingly indulgent Tchaikovsky Trio preserved from one of Du Pré's final concerts, included as both a bonus and a memento. Tully Potter's excellent booklet notes give equal time to music and artists, and rightly discuss the performances in the context of their time. It's good to have these recordings gathered in a budget-priced, space-saving box. --Jed Distler

With minor reservations, "excellent".......2004-05-16

As noted above, this 9 CD set resulted from the youthful collaboration of Barenboim, du Pre (soon to wed Barenboim) and Zukerman. Clearly Barenboim is the driving force. As the info booklet asks: "Would Beethoven have approved of what Barenboim does here? Perhaps not, although he would surely have applauded the young man's courage".

Sadly, du Pre's illness (she had MS, forcing her retirement in 1973 and ultimately causing her untimely death) seriously limited the collaboration. Because her illness prevented a studio recording, the cello sonatas are from 1970 live recordings taped by the BBC. The audience noise is distracting, and I simply cannot understand why the coughs and chair scrapings could not have been edited out.

Barenboim and co really do drag out the slow movements; sometimes to good effect, and sometimes too much in my view. For example, the third movement of the Archduke Trio goes for 12:07 on the Naxos recording but extends to 16:02 here (but this one is still a better rendition).

To fill out the last CD, EMI includes Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio Op 50 (taped from a live performance in Tel Aviv in 1972), which is not in the same league as Beethoven's (but I guess they had to do something with the space).

My main complaint is that the thick 3-language info booklet is devoted entirely to the history of the performers and includes not a single word about the music itself!

That said, I am still very glad that I bought this set.

I received as a gift the box set of all four Hooked On Classics CD's. As an avid fan of classical music, I was quite shocked to hear DRUMS in the background! I didn't really know what the Hooked On Classics series was, so I didn't know what to expect. As such, I eventually got used to the percussion, and found that I liked the fourth CD the best of all of them. The drums are more tolerable, and the recording quality is much improved over the other volumes. The playing is superb; on par with any legitimate recording made by any professional orchestra. The selections are diverse, and the arrangements are refreshing. HOC 4 was my link to many of the full-length versions of the excerpts featured, and I especially like the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th tracks (the 8th track is simply an extended version of the 1st, which makes it a much better rendition). The harpsichord playing in the 7th track is outstanding, as are the arrangements for this track. The climax will give you chills. All in all, an excellent album. I give it four stars only because as a die-hard purist, I don't suppose Bach and Vivaldi and Scarlatti would be too happy if they were to hear percussion along with their music. It would be interesting to see what the tracks would sound like without this.

Great CD, specially the adagio........2004-01-28

I love this CD in particular, because it introduced me to various greatest hits of baroque. I used it to practice my music as a teenager. I recommed this to you, specially if you have kids, because the drum sounds, make it easier to listen to the new generations. I loved the Pachelbel, and the adagio part is Super Excellent.

It's No Louis Clark & the Royal Philharmonic... But it's ok.......2003-12-07

Back in 81 when I got the original Hooked on Classics record as a gift (which I still have), I discovered the beauty and power of classical music in a different way. Now, classical music makes up 1/3 of my music library because of that compilation of classics (thanks to Louis Clark and the Royal Philharmonic).

So would I say this volume 4 has the same effect? I'd answer no, but I did like tracks 2 & 7.

No So Great.......2003-10-29

Once again another pathetic attempt at recreating what Louis Clark did with the original Hooked on the Classics. He succeeded by getting many of us hooked to the classics...something this album probably can't and won't do.

Great music experience.......2006-03-22

It is a great pleasure to listen to this Great music in such
a great performance.

excellent violin sonatas No. 17-25.......2006-03-02

These interpretation by Szerying/Haebler are a pleasure to listen to and the understanding between both artists is superb as they equaly share the stage. For an equally satisfying and more complete collection check out perlman/barenboim on DG (4 cds as part of DG collectors series) or for a budget option listen to Oistrakh/Zertsalova (whose partnership has been given 3 stars in the penguin guide) on the Vox label.

The Mozart Sonatas for Piano and Violin.......2006-01-20

I recently spent a memorable evening at a German-Vienesse Restaurant in Washington D.C. which is celebrating Mozart's 250th anniversary. It was in effect a classical music nightclub. Following a German dinner, two excellent local musicians, a pianist and a violinist, delighted the audience with a two-hour performance of Mozart's piano and violin sonatas. With the good dinner, lovely company, and relaxed atmosphere, it was a appropriate and outstanding way to hear these delightful pieces.

The evening inspired me to rehear violinist Henryk Szerying and pianist Ingrid Haebler playing the earlier of Mozart's mature violin sonatas on a two CD Phillips set. The music I heard on the town was drawn from the works on this CD, which is justly renowned. Haebler in particular is an unparalleled interpreter of Mozart. The duo's equally famous recording of the Beethoven violin sonatas is also available on Phillips.

The sonatas on this compilation fall into two groups. First, there is the series of seven sonatas Mozart composed at the age of about 22 while living in Mannheim. These are sometimes called the "Palatinate" sonatas. The sonatas are written in an early classical style and show the great influence of J.C. Bach. In fact, the lovely slow movement of the first of these sonatas, K 296, uses a theme that Mozart probably borrowed from him. There is a tendency to exaggerate the degree to which the piano is the dominant partner in these sonatas. Mozart frequently passes his themes back and forth between the two instruments, and the violin sings eloquently with plenty to do.

Only two of these sonatas, in C major K.296, and D major, K. 306, have three movements. The remaining five works are in two movements. The works typically feature lively first movements with a minuet or variation movement to conclude. They provide a great deal of variety. Only one work, in C major, K 303, opens with a slow introduction to a fast opening movement. The finest of these early works is the two-movement sonata in E minor, K.304. The first movement is a work of true fire, and the trio of the second movement is one of the great, hidden moments in all Mozart. Alfred Einstein describes it as "a brief glimpse of bliss."

The second group of sonatas, both in F major and consisting of three movements, K. 376 and K.377, were composed about three years after the first group and are part of a larger set of six. (The remaining four works are on the second volume of Szerying/Haebler.) These works are more ambitious in scope than the earlier set and show a closer collaboration between the two instruments. Although the works are in the same key, they are markedly different in character. K. 376 is a joyful, extroverted piece with a jubilant first movement, a quiet, singing slow movement, and a whimsical rondo. Its companion, K. 377, is one of Mozart's masterpieces. The opening movement, in a major key, is passionate and disquieting. The second movement is a slow theme and variations in the key of D minor. It is in a mood of deep sadness which only intensifies as the variations progress. The finale, is a rare and bittersweet moment of peace. This work together with the E minor sonata discussed above are two buried masterpieces in Mozart's output. Einstein says of the finale to K. 377 that it is the "only one of this kind not alone in Mozart's time, but among all the music that has come after him as well." In addition to the sonatas, this CD includes a set of galant and spirited variations on a French song, K. 359.

I enjoyed the spontaniety and ease of hearing these works performed informally, delightfully, and atmospherically over dinner. But I enjoyed as well the opportunity to hear this music repeatedly at leisure and in private in order to explore its beauties in detail. This is a first-rate CD for those who love Mozart or chamber music.

The quotations above are drawn from Alfred Einstein's famous study "Mozart, His Character,His Work," pp.255, 257.

Gems hidden in the shadows of Mozart's larger works.......2005-03-19

With Mozart's middle and late sonatas for violin and pianoforte, he (along with Haydn) changed the interaction of instruments and made it more of an equal partnership and dialog - freeing the violin from the role of mere accompaniment. In nearly all of Mozart's "great" violin sonatas (K296 and up), there indeed is a wonderful dialog between the two instruments in a way that only Mozart can bring forth in all its lightness and charm. This genre of Mozart does seem to be underrated - most likely due to the sheer volume of Mozart's monumental works. Yet, these works are highly enjoyable, musically intelligent and particularly easy to listen to with their timeless, graceful melodies.

The partnership of Szeryng and Haebler was renowned during their time and this marvelous collection is evidence of that. Music author David Dubal says of the Austrian pianist Ingrid Haebler: "An artist who plays with polish and taste. Her Mozart is especially admired for these qualities. Her playing has refinement and geniality, as well as a special tone quality." Agreed. It is hard to fault much when the music is so well performed and so typically pleasant Mozart - with that galante, gentile, youthful bounciness. Along with legendary Mozartian Grumiaux, violinist Heinrich Szeryng plays these sonatas with the optimal galante spirit of Mozart's era without superimposing any personal stylistic or "Romantic" mannerisms. Rightly, Penguin Guide honored this historic effort by giving it a top 3-star rating as well as listing it as one of their "Recommended Recordings" (for building a collection). The only negative I found is the "weak-bodied" sound quality of the 1970's analog transfers as compared to better modern recordings. But, not a "show-stopper" like some historic recordings can be.

Philips has distilled the best of Mozart's 35 sonatas for piano and violin into the most mature 16 on two DUO sets of two CD's each. So, does one need to hear all 35 sonatas? Probably not as the early ones (1-16) were written by a "tween" Mozart for their early prodigy tours and are not near the stature of those written 10 years later and beyond. The sontatas here in Vol.1 tend to have that carefree, innocent, bouncy Mozart style where the late works on Vol. 2 are more mature in form, style, complexity and virtuosity.

Also, with the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 2006, look for a slew of new Mozart recordings of the violin sonatas from the likes of Anne-Sofie Mutter, Hilary Hahn along with period-violinists Rachel Podger and Andrew Manze (but there were quite mixed reviews of all these newer recordings). Each of these newer virtuosos brings a different "flavor" to these classics that some will admire more or less. But the older generation of legends like Arthur Grumiaux and Hienrich Szeryng have set a very high standard with their impeccable galantry, eloquence and definitive, graceful Mozartian spirit. A classic recording like this one by Szeryng and Haebler is timeless in its musianship and appeal, but it is rewarding as well to hear the newer talents. Out of these, my pick would be the pristine-toned Hilary Hahn with Natalie Zhu.

Delightful! A must-have for any Mozart collection........2004-09-20

The Violin Sonatas should more accurately be called Sonatas for Violin and Pianoforte. They are some of Mozart's most vibrant and inventive works, and I've never been able to comprehend why they aren't better known. Just listen to the sound samples - you'll be hooked right away.

This is the best recording you are going to find of these works. Ingrid Haebler plays with the light-hearted, Germanic spirit that is so essential in these pieces, and the legendary Szeryng is in top form. There is so much humor and personality from both performers, and every hearing of these pieces will bring new insight. This CD should be at the very top of every "Essential Mozart Recordings" list out there.
