David Oistrakh - Bach Violin Concerto in A minor (3rd mvt.)

[nrjetijn]

Yeh, you are right! David was a fantastic violin player =,D

[tachuman]

What a superb player he was!

[senhgr]

...The most heroic act in his life was his performance of Tchaikovsky's violin concerto to the end in the central music hall during the Battle of Stalingrad in winter 1942 while central Stalingrad was being massively bombed by the fascist forces... ...Stalin Prize in 1943... People's Artist of the USSR in 1953 and the Lenin Prize in 1960...

[CanadaPisces]

His superb violin playing is the stuff of musical greatness! Bravo!

[Cormcolash]

Begin video ... COUGH COUGH HACK SPLUTTER COUGH HACK HACK SPLUTTER ... Begin violin

[Xerdocreisson]

start*

[Xerdocreisson]

This piece surely sounds a lot like Vivaldi's Concerto for A minor, especially the star, don't you guys think?

[natchy99]

@Xerdocreisson Yes. It is actually very similar. And when I teach students, I compare the two often. Vivaldi and Bach cross paths on several pieces, mostly with Bach imitating Vivaldi, since Antonio was early Baroque.

[arrebolarse]

SUS Cachetes!!!! tierno!

[LadyInDaHouse88]

lol you can clearly hear at the beginning of the video that the 2nd movement left the audience breathless. ;)

[jimipolserb]

1st and 2nd part is great. But in this part orchestra sounds almost like rock and roll. Fortunately David is perfect as always

[EDaRiOE]

the more dificcult movement of the concerto its almost impossible play that perefecto

[PJinBston]

How to be a good audience:

Sit stlill.

Be totally unemotional.

You may put your hand to your chin and feign pensiveness.

Clap when the instruments stop making sounds..

[PJinBston]

even the musicians are having fun, but those stodgy audience members are sitting there as if they're waiting for the 5 o'clock train to come along.

Hmm .. . . but they clap dutifully.

[Gnosistic]

@penceylala yeah that guy is really givin' it.

This Concerto is so Bomb! I love Bach done right.

[metalheadlass]

OMG! colin davis was so young!

[tachuman]

The three videos provide a superb performance of this concerto by David Oistrakh - not only a great fiddler but a wonderful musician! Thanks for posting!

[C0N57RUY3ND0]

Es la increible composicion? es la interpretacion? llega al cielo. no?

[Miron111111]

oh my

[blubfudgeserg]

great!

[95art]

Wow! Now I'm studying this concert... I hope that I can play this 3rd movement very well as he!

[shortsandsheep]

wow, this version is so heavenly! It's the version I've followed for about 3 years since I started playing it and it's simply perfect! he plays it so effortlessly, even with larger fingers!

[carl0zraul]

great!

great mr. Oistrakh!!

i really like this piece!!

i would like to play it like him... i have a long way to go.. =)

thanks cleopatra11!! xD

[penceylala]

i like the violininst with the black framed glasses in the chamber section

he has a great energy!

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

W Bach!

[walkingon2001]

great playing, the orchestra definitely played as one, but not always together.

[malaisennui]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!

Love The Oistrachs

The "hairless" man who behind Oistrakh looks very enjoy in the music. :)

[raoultak]

The best............

[AytidaRed]

I like the pounding harpsichord - it gives it much more lower depth. Great performance.

[BeneBon]

I love the intensity of his playing

[ceebass]

Man, what is with the comically extreme 18 second barrage of coughing in the audience? It's nuts! Just loop the first 18 seconds and listen....I don't think an audience could possibly hack any more phlegm. Oh, and Oistrakh is utterly amazing. I

[pviola314]

Sean your silly that's normal

[ceebass]

being addressed by name on youtube is out of bounds, Pedro, out of bounds.

[chaz567123456789]

lol i though you said bariolage and was like wtf for s sec XD

[SorosCorpse]

ОЙСТРАХ!

И этим все сказано.

[Gaspar795]

An object lesson on how to play the fiddle. Oistrakh was one of the greatest players of all time.

It was RFHall in about 1969 give or take a year or two. Cecil Arronovich leading violas and Manny Hurwitz leading (either the ECO or Mozart Players?) Colin Davis going through the conducting motions.

I recognise other players but can't remember names. It was a long time ago.

[worldentropy]

Spot on re: Colin Davis, thanks so very much.

I'm sure he is as you describe. Those who feel music in a way he does have to be full of marvel.

I think you are also right about the Royal Festival Hall.

[worldentropy]

Besides the hopelessly depressing genius of the virtuoso Oistrakh, note the conductor: this man is inside every tone and beat in this glorious piece. Note 00:50 - 00:52, where his left hand signals the phrasing to the cellists on his right.

Does anyone know the circumstances where this was played ? looks like the Royal Albert Hall to me. Who is the conductor for Heaven's sake ? why don't they grow musicians like this any more ?

[ComposerTS]

Again a very cantabile interpretation. I also like the sound of Oistrakh´s violin, it is very fitting for the music.

[majomxxl]

Thanks No.1 word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zuckerzut]
