Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 (Itzhak Perlman, Eugene Ormandy)

Tchaikovsky's only violin concerto overflows with Russian romantic ardour and astonishing technical pyrotechnics. Itzhak Perlman's lush, golden tone and effortless virtuosity soar above Eugene Ormandy's opulent Philadelphia Orchestra, making the opening movement exhilarating and the finale's fiery Cossack dance completely unforgettable.
