this is the best performance of any piece i have ever heard. i have been listening to and enjoying this performance of this movement for 3 years and am perpetually awestruck. there is simply no comparison to the technical brilliance and artistry of this performance. this is worthy of humanity putting into a capsule and mailing to the universe. purely divine. the passage at 3:35 until the orchestra joins....what gusto! a mad race! listen to the applause..the audience knew what they had witnessed!
This performance of Aram Khachaturian's violin concerto was released on a Russian Disc CD in the 1990's. It is now out of print. The conductor is the great Niyazi from Azerbaijan. This is a live performance given in Eastern Europe in 1954. Both Oistrakh and Sitkovetsky are supreme interpreters of this concerto but Niyazi's conducting has a bite of its own. Fans of this concerto owe it to themselves to include both performances in their collection.
This is not Dmitry Sitkovetsky, this is his father Julian. Very amazing violinist, but I prefer him more for baroque music, Kogan wins in Khachaturian and Paganini. Also amazing recordings of Shasson Poem and Tchaikovsky concerto by Julian Sitkovetsky.
This recoding is very excellent, technically, musically and virtusity wise. But it sounds more romanian/hungarian. Kogan has the closest interpretation to the authentic sound of armenian folk music.
thank you very much for this recording ! this is oe of my favourite concertos and specially the 3rd mouv, and this because of the beauty playing by Sitkovetsky, it's the first time I liten to a recording of him and really Brave virtuoso violonist thnks for the video
anyone who plays Julian Sitkovetsky (and Khachaturian for that matter) knows what is good and real in the violin world - this is yet further evidence he had no peers whatsover, not rabin not heifetz not kogan, nor anyone else was better
although i would have to say kogan and szeryng recordings are worth getting for this concerto, oistrakh isnt quite as clean but you gotta get that too because hey its oistrakh
people say Sitkovetsky played football in the CMS yard while Kogan practiced and practiced for hours in a class. True genius!

Thanks for posting this - Sitkovetsky is amazing and more people should know about him, it's a shame he died so young. His Bach is beautiful.
