Here we have Perlman and Ashkenazy, two of the world's greatest living exponents of their instruments; Brahms, one of the greatest ever composers of chamber music, and his violin sonatas, which to me are simply sublime and top of my list of music to accompany me on my way to heaven. There were moments when I realised I'd been holding my breath for a few seconds, such is the sheer intensity and intimacy of the playing.
The recording itself has been criticised by another reviewer, but I heard nothing whatever to spoil my appreciation of this truly wonderful music.

Perlman and Ashkenazy can be a fantastic duo - their Beethoven Violin Sonatas are spectacular, with the Kreutzer in particular achieving a level of inspiration that's rarely attained. By comparison, their playing is more earthbound in the Brahms Sonatas. There's nothing wrong with them at all, apart from perhaps over-miking the violin (a fault often found in Perlman's recordings, though happily not in the Beethoven Sonatas with Ashkenazy).
Overall, you're unlikely to be disappointed, but there are better alternatives around in my opinion - Oistrakh/Richter are absolutely fantastic in Nos. 2 & 3, but the latter is pretty hard to find. For complete sets, see Musica Viva's recommendations, to which I would also add Mullova/Anderszewski and Capucon/Angelich.

These are among my very favourite pieces and I have to admit that I find this disc disappointing. It is not so much the playing of Perlman and Ashkenazy; they put everything into it. It seems to be the recording. The violin is too closely miked and sometimes covers up the piano, and the whole sound lacks sparkle. This dullness was characteristic of many early digital recordings and it has not been rectified in the remastering. Despite many rave reviews elsewhere, I find the emotion in the music simply does not come through as it should. Try Kyung Wha Chung/Peter Frankl or Augustin Dumay/Maria Joao Pires for something much more exciting.
