Why can't I hear the soloist?
By Lori from Los Angeles on 2/2/2008
Cons:
Poor Sound Quality

Everyone

Perlman is Perlman - just can't do any better - however I was disappointed that the piano was so loud. I know there is some type of 'taboo' about amplifying an acoustic instrument however it was devastating to not be able to clearly hear every note. The audience must have felt the same thing - it was unusually difficult to get caught up in the music. Every cough was an intrusion to the sound. It was as if the violin was the accompanist for the piano! So far not impressed with the Disney Concert Hall.

Itzhak Perlman Biography

Israeli violinist Itzhak Perlman is known for his brilliant technique, direct interpretation and precision in detail. He has an international reputation as an outstanding violinist of the 19th and 20th century repertoire. At age four, he lost the use of his legs due to polio. Shortly after that he began violin lessons at Shulamit High School in Tel-Aviv. By age ten he was performing in concerts and recitals with the Israel Broadcasting Orchestra. After winning a talent competition to appear on American television, he obtained scholarships and awards that allowed him to stay in New York and study at the Juilliard School with Galamian. He made his professional debute at Carnegie Hall, and in 1964 he won the Leventritt Memorial Competition. These accomplishments led to engagements with many American orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic. Perlman toured his native Israel in 1965, performing concerts throughout and made his British debut in 1968 at Festival Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra. He participated in the London South Bank Summer Music Series in 1968-9 and created a master class in violin at Meadowbrooks Festival, USA, in 1970. ~ Lynn Vought, Rovi
