Itzhak Perlman and Daniel Barenboim perform Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 2

Two icons of classical music share the stage in this series of three vintage concerts filmed at Chicago's Symphony Center in the early 1990s. Renowned virtuosos and close personal friends Itzhak Perlman and Daniel Barenboim treat us to an unforgettable performance of the complete set of Brahms's masterful sonatas for violin and piano. In this second concert in the set, the pair take on the uncharacteristically joyful Sonata No. 2. Celebrated pianist and composer Clara Schumann, who was also Brahms's muse!, thought highly of the light and pastoral piece, writing that "none of Johannes's pieces has delighted me so completely as this one. I haven't been this pleased in a long time!"
