David Oistrakh Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso, Op 28

[yssayas]

PERFECT !!! The King of violin !!!

[majomxxl]

can tell him everything he knew everything but he was "legromantius violin in the world" (Heifetz)

[SomeAnimeOtaku]

The expression on his face perfectly describes his playing :)

[elena7753]

гениально,невообразимо,грандио­зно!

[TheLiakhovetskiBros]

So beautiful!!! Amazing talent!!

Sincerely,

Liakhovetski Brothers

[gawgul]

articulation, warmth and intelligence, never rushed always clear. 

[lovejazz42]

This man, is my god. Period.

[Oistrakhfollower]

At 3:00 Oistrakh changes slur staccatos to spiccato because he was not that good at slur staccato. When you see Oistrakh's Sibelius concerto 3rd movement, he DOES slur staccato but looks hard. However, that kind of small thing COULD NOT stop the king of violinist. He KNEW what was his weakness and HOW to overcome that thing.

DAVID OISTRAKH! YOU ARE MY HERO! YOU ARE OUR KING!

[lirica2011]

Incantevole, sublime!!!

[oppasat]

He is the king of the violin!

[abracadabranque]

Un jeu moins osé que Heifetz.Très beau,mais parfois trop scrupuleux.

[echospetr]

@ModellMeister Not that one can not remedy the insult within your comment, but in music of all places where we can imagine the impossible, you have found a way to no more than insult yourself.

[boshboshluv]

He truly understood the violin.

[musKS53]

Every time I listen to Oi-strakh, I am Awe-struck.

[MusicPredominates]

@musKS53 : Und so you aught to be !

[MsReefmaster]

the voilin is my favorite sounding instrument.

[musKS53]

A unique and astounding interpretations!

[raoultak]

The King of violin players..........

[narutoo6215]

@raoultak the king?? he isn't the king, he is THE GOD of Violinist!!!

[joparkeruk]

wow

[XXXPolemideXXX]

giù il cappello!

[ladysilverflute]

Love this... thank you Oistrakh!

[Golondrinka]

Thank you! Thank you for uploading this!

It is a version of my childhood, forever favorite.

All others can only be compared to it, and never supersede!

[tkranutley]

Perfection

[Oistrakhfollower]

P E R F E C T!!!!!!!!!! So warm and virtuosic!!

(In fact, I've never heard Oistrakh playing Saint-Saens)

[saintmichael104]

haha its starts piano I think, Oistrakh was like "Fuck that."...

[freeqwerqwer]

What a sincere tone, and, as mrwasbesonders commented, free of pretentions of the modern violinists. Modern violinist pay attention to technique but not tone where the soul shows.

[Klara358]

I feel the same way, many thanks to majomxxl for posting this most beautiful performance

[DED319]

Wow what an interpretation. I though Kogan and Heifetz played this the best, but I think Oistrakh might outshine them here.

[mrwasbesonders]

The best thing about this is he is stock still with none of the pretentious gestures you see from some of the modern greats, Bell, Vengerov, Jansen etc. And doe this take anything from the performance? No, of course not.

[mrwasbesonders]

If you want precision, cleanliness, and quality of sound on every note there is no one better. Sometimes I find him turgid but he is totally on the money here! Lush.

[mojamal]

Although Oistrakh is awesome, unfortunately recording is clipping!

[themusicdr]

i love this. this is my fav violin piece and here mr oistrakh has given a most unique and delicate rendition. sl more whimsical a touch slower than many but just magnificent. truly he was one of the greatest

orchestra does v well here too

[wtfpwndzor]

This is what I love about Oistrakh,

the way he breaks down a piece and interprets every single note is just so incredibly unique and beautiful.

[KosteckiAdam]

Incredibile and fantastic!!!

[clubpenguinmanful]

this guy is good, but i like heifetz better

[travonprince]

Wonderful rendition of Saint Saens!!!!!

[ItzhakRoxMySox]

Up until now, I've thought that Stern's rendition could not be surpassed. I am now having serious second guesses.

[calloffthedogs]

L. Kogan has a good rendition too. I like Stern too but sometimes his intonation is wayward.

[ioioccc]

I cannot decide which version I like better. Up until now I thought Heifetz. Now...

Absolutely amazing

[crazy77town]

i am fucking speechless by this man's bow touch on the strings !!!!!!!!!!

[assindiastignani]

Oistrakh - Munch -Boston. A miracle. I've heard everybody play this piece and have been collecting violin recordings for forty years; I heard Oistrakh any number of times live, but THIS is STUPENDOUS, even for Oistrakh!! I've never heard this piece played like this, NEVER!

[Mnacuspia004]

GREEAAAAATTTT!!!! this is new here.. i never saw it...!! excellent recording, great contribution!!

[pillow73]

amazing.

[calloffthedogs]

so what! And your point is what??

[schlusnus]

Remarkable...full of energy and vitality and freedom

of expression... clarity of sound A1.

many thanks

[olgaviolino1]

ingenious violinist!

[majomxxl]

On all of them the largest violin artist of times ,that his name shows it rather was Hebrew than Gypsy

[petrina1022]

My favorite recording of this piece. This guy just HAS to be part Gypsy to play like this. Unbelievably GREAT.

[ioioccc]

He was jewish. Like Heifetz, Stern, Kogan, Menuhin, Vengerov, Szigety, Huberman, Kreisler, Gitlis, Elman...the list could continue, it is unbelievable.

[amp10000]

Incredible! Such a sound; I still can't get over the wonderful expression, hope, beauty, energy that comes out from his playing!

A real genius yet human (not at all "bizard" like some geniuses can be). Perhaps a perfect combination between the two!

Forever a warm thanks to the one who posted this!
