I think Perlman's performance of the first movement is pretty good but the rest less so. Especially in the last movement he seems to miss the excitement. I used to think speed was the essence of great playing of that movement, but I now believe there's more needed -- a kind of reckless abandonment, or at least the purposefully created semblance of that. As for the slow movement, probably I am the only person who could satisfy me re that, but I can't play the violin.
