'I can actually see the sound in my head. I can actually see it... But each sound is different so this one has that sparkle, there is a sparkle to the sound.' (Itzhak Perlman)
With 16 Grammy Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and four Emmy Awards, Itzhak Perlman is one of the most important violinists of the second half of the 20th century. In celebration of his 75th birthday on 31 August, this 6 DVD box set highlights important landmarks in his career with both the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Apart from six outstanding concerts, the box set also includes the moving portrait “Virtuoso Violinist – I know I played every note” – a closely-observed account of Perlman’s early life and career.
