are both superb violinists of the very highest order. I frankly see no reason to rank them or compare them to Itzhak Perlman, another superb violinist. All have made excellent recordings, though I haven't heard Permlan's Elgar concerto, at least not recently.
Silverstein spent most of his performing career as concertmaster of the Boston Symphony, then turned to conducting. I couldn't recommend more highly the Boston Symphony Chamber Players recordings he participated in. And if Zukerman isn't as famous a soloist as Perlman, he is very nearly so.
However, Perlman has made many more solo recordings, and no doubt more solo recital appearances, than Zukerman, and vastly more than Silverstein. Many of these are outstanding (Prokofiev concertos, Brahms concerto and sonatas, Paganini caprices, for example). But it's logical that there is a better chance of a few below par recordings, and certainly live performances, from Perlman. And as John Marks knows, a lot can go wrong with a recording aside from having a soloist who is less than stellar or having an off day.
