Clearly, Perlman – who conducts with a contained Ormandyesque beat – had worked on a series of attractively evolving textures in the symphony. Primary themes spoke with a highly inflected sense of purpose. In the Dvorak 8, Perlman gave a Viennese lilt to the mysterious waltz music of the third movement, which was an incredibly deft touch.” Primo announces the first-ever tour of Itzhak Perlman and Martha Argerich in the 2017-18 season! Two living legends reuniting for a tour of the United States, surely one for the records. March 2018. 6 concerts. 5 cities. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York.

Most works in the genre were written by virtuosos such as Leclair, Viotti, Spohr, Wieniawski and Ysaÿe, but composers of the calibre of Telemann, Michael Haydn, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Honegger and Bartók also took up the challenge. Given the restrictions imposed by having to combine the sound of two identical instruments whose primary role is more melodic than polyphonic, composers have tended to focus on thematic development, harmony and rhythm, resulting in highly imaginative explorations of the instrument’s technical potential. Jean-Marie Leclair (1697–1764), founder of the French violin school, wrote his 12 duets in an elegant idiom that brought together the best of the French and Italian styles.

John Williams “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca “Love Theme” from Cinema Paradiso “Theme” from Far and Away “Main Title” from Out of Africa “Marion and Robin Love Theme” from The Adventures of Robin Hood “Theme” from Sabrina “Theme” from Schindler’s List “Tango (Por Una Cabeza)” from Scent of a Woman Itzhak Perlman, violin MUSIC FOR THE MOVIES Even in the days of silent films, movie-makers recognized that the experience on the screen could be enhanced with musical accompaniment, and movie theaters hired pianists and organists to improvise music that would underline or intensify what the audiences were experiencing on the screen. (The teenaged Dmitri Shostakovich supported his family by playing piano in freezing movie halls in Leningrad in the early 1920s.) With the arrival of talkies, it became possible to compose and incorporate music directly into each movie, and a new art form was born. This concert offers film music by several different composers, but featuring two in particular. Leonard Bernstein would have written more for the movies, but he found the experience difficult; On the Waterfront was his only film score. Two decades earlier, Erich Wolfgang Korngold moved from Vienna to Hollywood and completely changed our sense of what film music might be, writing music so distinct that it can stand alone in the concert hall.
