Featured Review
I bought these tickets for my husband for Christmas. Itzhak Perlman is one of his favorite musicians and he has always wanted to see him play. He always imagined he'd see him play a solo during a symphony performance, so when I saw the opportunity to take him to Perlman in Recital...wow, what a treat!! My only hope was that 4 months of anticipation would all be worth it! Boy was it!!! From the moment Perlman's fingertips hit the strings the mood in the concert hall changed. The energy, the beautiful tone, and the perfect glide of the melodies he played mesmerized us! We didn't want the night to end! Although we felt as though he was just getting started, Perlman was finishing! We had sat there for over 2 hours watching him play and it had felt like only a few minutes. He was exhausted I'm sure, but we could have sat there all night. It was a magical night and one we will never forget! Itzhak Perlman is truly a master of strings.

I personally don't listen to classical music, but my boyfriend loves it. I have been to other classical music concerts. Compared to Joshua Bell, I liked Itzhak Perlman a lot better. According to my boyfriend, Perlman had more technique and played more well-known and famous pieces. To me, Perlman was more interesting when he introduced the pieces, and any viewer could obviously see that he loved his violin. There were sections in the music where he would just smile, and it was obvious that he loved that part of the piece. He's not only an incredible violinist, but he's an even better performer.

We were seating way up to the balcony. People were talking, making noise...
Also let people get in between mouvment, is very distubing. The time that the late people got to their seat Pearlman already start to play again. It was so annoye. We couldn't concentrate 100% to the beautiful playing that pearlman offered to us.
I gave 5 starts to Perlman and 1 start for the managing.
Hope this review will help you to give a better service,

Could not fathom how quickly he's able to move his fingers on the violin. Personable and jovial to the audience. Masterful player.

Favorite moment: The first 120 minutes @

Since his first performance in this venue in 1911 (his date, not mine) he has continued to captivate the audience from the first note to the last. His music takes you to another place, a mellow, uncomplicated, mezmorizing place where the sounds of the violin are soothing and comforting. I did not attend the 1911 concert, but I have been there every year since 1914 and I will continue to go for at least another 100 years.
Don't miss him in concert. His musical talents, sense of humor and interplay with the audience make for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Though the first selection was not that inspiring, ever succeeding selection was outstanding.The commentary by Mr. Perlman was in the Victor Borge manner and it was informative and humorous. This is not my first exposure to Mr. Perlman's expertise and certainly not my last. Bravo to Mr. De Silva for his wonderful accompaniment. I would suggest he be allowed a solo as part of a future concert. The team, in this concert , was terrific!!!

The Klezmer Conservatory players were delightful; the orchestra players were terrific! The greatest joy was hearing two of the world's best musicians perform together--Cantor Helfgot and Yitzhak Perlman! Absolutely unforgettable! Absolute joy!

The combination of Itzhak Perlman and Chazzan Yitzchak Meir Helfgot was amazing, and the addition of Hankus Netsky and his band and the orchestra gave the performance some added zest.

Itzhak Perlman's violin playing is amazing and we loved hearing the Klezmer Conservatory Band again. They don't appear very often in this vicinity. Cantor Helfgott has a very powerful and amazing voice, but we are not big fans of his style of cantorial singing. The last piece was amazing and Ilene Stahl is a clarinet virtuoso.

Helfgot was incredible. The sound system was terrific. Perlman didn't seem to do that much. The overall flow of the program was choppy. Netsky's song explanations were interesting to me because I like a lot of context, but most folks I spoke with found them annoying.

Initially I was told this concert was all about Perlman & Helfgot. It was and it was spectacular. Perlman is funny and awesome. Helfgot is smooth and peaceful. But dare not leave out the awsomest part of the evening '.....Perlman’s long-time collaborator Hankus Netsky, the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and an 18-Piece Chamber Orchestra with members of The Perlman Music Program, conducted by Russell Ger.' They were the most professional team of people playing music together I've ever experienced. I mean every part of my body and soul ever experienced. So VIP, CIMH, and the great KCB were something a video on a phone will not catch. Be there and experience the real thing.
FAVORITE MOMENT:When Perlman said to Netsky before playing the Kalah Bzetsin (Brides song) 'so this is a two part kind of a piece?' to which Netsky replied, 'that's right.' Then Perlman continued saying, 'so after the first part there will be another part'.
SEAT RATING: 3 stars Well Section 9 Row 16 Seat 4 was officially my seat for the show, but as soon as Helfgot took his position on stage my mind freaked out. I couldn't see his face. My view of him was obstructed by a whole strand of ugly black cables. So I moved over about 10 seats and had a much better view, thankfully the row was pretty empty. (M/r/s event planner person, DO CHANGE LOCATION OF CABLES. The sound was great, the lighting wasn't in my face. (I heard after some people sitting in Section-10 had lighting in their faces) I would still rather a seat where I would see have a view of center stage. Anyhow people in my section thought they were flying somewhere. From 7:20pm until about 8:15 pm (show started at 7:55ish) people were clambering about climbing over me, going to buy dinner, leaving, coming, going, doing business deals, I really don't know know what all the hassle was. A girl in my section in approx. row 12 was on her big fat laptop writing her paper until an usher explained to her how oblivious she is being and she closed it. But the look she gave upon doing so was priceless. Other problem was an arrogant young man who was shmoozing on his phone about who knows what during a the most beautiful Helfgot piece ever. So I leaned over and said 'Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' and he stopped talking. The aroma of hotdogs in the stand was not a good idea (but ok people need to eat) but it didn't mix well with the concert style. Weird to have violin and hotdogs. Cantorial and popcorn. xylophone and fries. Some figs, grapes and Green tea would've fit better.

Itzhak Perlman makes a violin speak and cry in ways that are other-worldly. Cantor Helfgot effortlessly hits a wide-range of pitch perfect notes with the clarity of a bell. It was awesome!
