Part documentary and part concert film, PERLMAN IN RUSSIA follows the well-known master violinist during his historic tour of Russia and features two of his concert performances there. On the 150th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's death, Perlman performed the Russian composer's famous Violin Concerto in D at the Bolshoi Philharmonic Hall in Leningrad. This was also the first appearance Perlman and the accompanying Israel Philharmonic in Russia. During this same tour, Perlman also played a solo concert at the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow. In addition to those masterful performances, this release also contains documentary footage capturing Perlman on the streets of Russia and back stage to offer a glimpse into the man whose talent with a violin is among the best in the world.
