David Oistrakh plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (2nd Mov.)

[MrGUILLERMOPLAZA]

La ejecución que hace Oistrakh de este concierto es admirable, además el video es fascinante, pues corresponde a la época de las transmisiones en blanco y negro y de las grandes interpretaciones por los mejores interpretes de la historia universal de las obras cumbres del repertorio clásico. Gracias!,@SamLee0519 por compartir con todos los usuarios de Youtube esta gran interpretación. Saludos Cordiales desde Caracas Venezuela.

[serholck]

is he using a mute?

[raoultak]

Oistrakh the greatest on this one....Oistrakh the poet.

[shobarsch]

Gonna study this, I'm stealing every fingering and bowing :)

[Marteixtas]

Magnífico! Emocionante!!

[frikadell0]

in soviet russia violin plays YOU!!!

[puccinifan]

Oistrakh is the only violinist who manages to sound heart-on-sleeve while maintaining impeccable nobility. Masterful.

[lrbaseball15]

Is this by any chance the video of Oistrakh's performance with The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy back in the late 50's, early 60's?

[neatplants]

I think this may be my favorite 2nd movement of all time

[homkoala]

I am working on my essay and listen to this music, I wanna cry, so moved.

[Tedham]

Does anyone know if Jascha Heifetz did this piece? If so where to find it?

[Javier141145]

¡¡¡Altamente sublime!!!

[10notecards]

There are no words... Oistrakh, you are my idol.

[IloveSirLancelot]

Oh my god... my teacher just suggested this for me to work on. I'm so down. :D

[jmursik]

geniusly

[gawdiam]

OH GOD!!!!... i gotta love that incredible cough at 2:43... and 5:16... and especially 5:20... 5:28 too...

[gawdiam]

OH GOD!!!!... i gotta love that incredible cough at 2:43.

[Aeroblast64]

@Lardley Sounds like Rock Band for the String Quartet!  I want this game :D

[mountainenergei1]

David, the king.

He makes it sound as though there is no human intervention. The violin plays itself.

[9eberra1]

OH GUYS GET OVER IT I'm one of Oistrakh's 4th generation students, he wouldn't want you bickerring over bad technique learn from him what you can fools

[9eberra1]

OH GUYS GET OVER IT I'm one of Oistrakh 4th generation students, he wouldn't want you bickerring over bad technique learn from him what you can fools

[ShakerLouie]

Tchaikovsky must be so proud that his music were played by one of the most greatest violinist in the world literally.

[ElizR56]

He plays with what I call a fierce poignancy. Incredible. Gave me a 6 minute case of shivers.

[VeroniqueCG]

@ElizR56 Thank you for the wording of your comment. I concur.

[StewardChase1976]

@VeroniqueCG

Read your comment first and it made me curious of the one you replied on.. and the whole thing just made me LOL (in a good way!)

[Sorcerer2k]

how does he manage to built up this emotion without crying himself.. he is the cleanest and strongest person I know

[MarioLubenov]

Admirable, plein de pudeur, une ligne mélodique inimitable de simplicité, c'est vraiment l'unique à réunir autant de qualités, je crois. (et tout le reste que je n'arrive pas à formuler) On se rend compte de tout ce qu'il faut posséder pour rendre justice à cette musique complexe.

[acdcelieetienne]

faite s'en autant

[raoultak]

Nobody better; slight very touchy edges and the greatest interaction between contra punctual heavy and very emotional notes.....drama....this is what nobody could do ....ever; never. Just Oistrakh; he is the greatest ever........

[YougeneDebs]

David Oistrakh is great!

[HAlghamdi]

This is one of the most touching melodies ever composed. Tchaikovsky was a true master of his craft.

[thesilvershining]

Agreed. This Canzonetta is arguably my all-time favorite piece of classical music... every note is emotive and has a reason for being, it's just perfect!

[THX1138x29]

Not too many 2nd mov. of this beatiful piece posted on YT, This is one of the best ever by any artist.

[raoultak]

Oistrakh was a giant in motion of emotions. Its like an arrow strikes one right through the heart. In spreading musicality Oistrakh was our Lords protégée. Heaven on earth, I would say. Unique, and thank God he has given us this beauty.

[mariadelamor21]

Deeply mine. This music crosses the tactile and air blood. It sublimates without pain. It is a sentimental emotion that breathes. Thank you.

[4LX1M1K]

The Best

[themusicdr]

OMG what amazing emotion in this movmt its physically palpable

[3NUNS]

Your prefix 'OMG' is palpably WICKED as a matter of fact!

[themusicdr]

pray tell, why so?!

[MrElGriego]

Para sublimes

Eleva al cielooooo

[Lukecash12]

Fantastic clean trills, and colourful vibrato. He just followed up a monumental performance of the first movement with an endearing and sentimental performance of the second. Oistrakh makes me happy :)

[violinforever3000]

David Oistrakh plays better than Itzhak Perlman in the second movement. He's more expressive, and is able to move me with his music~

[P0RGAK]

To be fair to Perlman, this recording of the Tchaikovsky is probably the best there is. Nobody plays this piece better than Oistrakh.

[Szeek]

David Oistrakh didn't become as well known in the West as Heifetz or Milstein because he never immigrated. He chose to remain under Soviet authority until his death. He was one of the greatest violinists of all time. The lyrical, lush, incandescent quality of his sound make his recordings instantly and distinctly recognizable to this day.

[pepenomedestormento]

Gracias

[Lardley]

Society would be greatly improved if instead of the game "Guitar Hero" we had a Violin Hero, Cello Hero, Viola Hero, and Bass Hero :)

[cl427x]

right on.

[ShakerLouie]

omg totally true! You got the point!

[acolvill1]

@Lardley Or at least Classical Guitar Hero. I enjoy Carulli and Tarrega and a host of other brilliant classical composers for guitar. How incredible (and reassuring) would it be if instead of these child prodigies tapping out "Fascination Maxx-Eternal Love Edit" in DDR on double expert we had aspiring young guitarist-gamers nailing note of Albeniz' Asturias? Thumbs up Lardley :)

[lykfe]

@Lardley maybe a DDR with classical music XD that would b cool!

[xBebop45x]

@Lardley How about we teach kids to actually put effort towards a real art such as violin, cello, viola, bass, (or any instrument for that matter) instead of bastardizing the arts with games. It all roots to one of the beliefs I have about my generation: that a large majority of us are not as driven as past generations to really work for things and to be better. No one wants to put in the effort and they expect everything to be easy and/or given to them without any work on their end.

[Manostradorscator]

@Lardley It does exist!

[darthgiggitygoo]

@Lardley

haha, awesome ^_^

if only....

[Klemperer]

@Lardley I don't agree. Society with "heroes" is in 99,9% of cases not an improving society. All that postmodern "popstar" blurb (the pope, writers, violinists being "popstars") is pathetic.

[PaRrOtReScUeWoTr]

@Lardley I certainly agree. But then our society would be too cultured and smart. We can't have that here in Fed controlled America!

[Musikslife]

@Lardley I concur. Many -a-conversations have been had between friends about this very idea. Lets do it!

[NanamiChanY]

@Lardley i think "society would be greatly improved if there was (things you listed) as well as guitar hero" sounds better

[totalwombatfan]

@Lardley Society would be even more greatly improved if instead of playing musical video games everyone would learn to play actual music.

[anabel187]

tchaikovsky did not just write music that people wanted to hear. some of you dont know what they're talking about.

[rosinitup87]

Literally breaks my heart every time

unbelievable.

[goldie0800]

Hey, this is the great Oistrakh! I can't take my eyes off him when he plays. Like to see his bowing and fingering throughout. One can learn lots by observing.

[PaRrOtReScUeWoTr]

@goldie0800 But damn if it isn't extremely difficult to put those observations into use! I've been watching Oistrakh and Perlman since I was a kid and can still only get through the first few bars of the first movement!

[goldie0800]

@PaRrOtReScUeWoTr - One learns to walk before one runs, eh? All the best. ;- )

[mozarttttttt]

if you want to see a real concert type on youtube"edvin marton best violinist ever"...

[theViolinDreamer]

Edvin Marton is one of my favorites , and I have a lot of respect for his music. Your phrasing ,however...."if you want to see a real concert type" inspires ignorance.

[rapter9800]

Nice way to put it

[Younieyoup]

Superbe <3 envie de tout et de rien...

[thesilvershining]

I disagree. Tchaikovsky's heart forced his musical output. Ask anybody and they'll say the best thing about Tchaikovsky (besides the fact he was possibly the NICEST composer who ever lived) is that he put himself in everything he wrote, that's why his music is breathtakingly beautiful, poetic & sad--because he was constantly depressed. Only absurdly intelligent and sensitive people ever feel the true effects of depression *and* use their genius to deal with it accordingly.

[marcusantonius90]

@thesilvershining I couldn't have put it better myself.

[Egemyo]

Hipnotize edici bir müzik bu.

Nedir, nasıldır diye düşünmiyeceksin, kalbinle dinleyeceksin bunu !!

[Egemyo]

Hipnotize edici bir müzik bu.

Nedir, nasıldır diye düşünmiyeceksin, kalbinle dinleyeceksin bunu !!

[violista2266]

Poetry...!!!

[poldova]

he's playing senza sordino???? that's really strange considering his editing of the concerto still has the marking in it. It does work better in a way, but it's an odd choice given the marking. Not that I care, Oistrakh is my hero!

[arcenciel719]

I think this movement sounds so much better senza sordino. :)

The music purists may sneer, but I play it senza sordino, as well. If Oistrakh did it, then it must be okay! :D

[Lukecash12]

David Oistrakh can do whatever he bloody well pleases! And that's my rant for the day...

[arcenciel719]

Well said, sir! :)

[thecoates871]

I prefer to play it con sordini in the opening section, then senza sord from the middle section onwards, it adds more depth to the major section, in my opinion.

[ernestonuovo]

FANTASTICO !!!

[ShatteredScarlet]

this is a really pretty song! ♥♥♥

It makes me cry everytime I hear it

[jkircher314]

Gorgeous....

[fichan25052505]

I wud never comment on how a masterpiece should be played.. but i just have to say this is a beautiful interpretation.

[MusiksLoveR]

Why do violinst like David die soo early?

Kogan died in his 40's. If this didn't happen, some of our loved violinst would still be living. Or would they?

[dijkie12]

why do all good musicians die so young? Schubert, Mozart, Fritz Wunderlich, Karl Richter, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Freddy Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix, Daniel Balavoine, Claude François and so on

[caocao8u]

half the guys you're naming did drugs.

[Springeragh]

LOL, that's more true than most people would care to admit.

[stradrools]

who did drugs?

[123mortimer]

Why do all good musicians live so long? Horszowsky (101), Casals (96), Stokowski (95), Rubinstein (94), Toscanini (90), Milstein (89), Verdi (88), Serkin (88), Klemperer (88), Bohm (87), Horowitz (86), Walter (86) and so on.

[iamemod]

Mentally, music releases stress. did you know that? thats why based on theory, plants tend to grow better in a musical enviorment.

[FinaleFantasy]

Conductors, at least, live long because of good exercise. Gets lots of oxygen to the brain.

[theViolinDreamer]

If you would go back in time , and study the history of music , you would see that , on the contrary , many musicians , and other artists , had a short life .

[ChrissAnderssenSzec]

Hi...your questions is for GOD...

[molecram]

Kogan didn't die in his 40's, u even can find recordings of him in youtube playing paganini, sarasate and others, when he was more than 60 years old..

Have in mind that genious like Heifetz, Kreisler, Menuhin, Stern, Szigeti died in the older ages.. so not every genious die early, its just a matter of how they live their lives, health situations, and i thing a bit of luck too.

[bitchass888]

Died at 58

[musicnation]

beautifully done!!

[keseadmon]

If Tchaikovsky were alive to hear this piece played by Oistrakh..would he be pleased?Moved?

[maddiewasawhore]

this is really enjoyable

[Aquita17]

Thank you for this video. I LOVE this piece.

[mirar1]

Ahh it's so beautiful! And he does make it look like it's easy for him.

[Wimzig]

That's because it is easy for him. I can play this piece, so it's nothing for Oistrakh. Admittedly, I can't play it quite as beautifully as him.

[abrnarsee]

I've been a novice to voilin concertoes until I began listening until many months ago. Having listened so much, and to the many virtuosoes, I just cannot help shake it off. This piece played by david oistrakh is beyond what words can describe. Its a recurring, haunting composition, made what it is by the way it has been played. Most wonderful, unparalleled playing ! Thanks a ton for sharing this.

[courtneyburris]

fabulous. by far the best version of this piece that i have heard. He is so confident and it is so effortless for him. wow.

[moses1489]

dooshebag | |

 | | | | V

[govibe]

It's spelled "douchebag" retard

[moses1489]

you would know

:P

[moses1489]

definitely heifetz

[govibe]

I think it was a rhetorical question dumb@ss... Besides, everyone is so subjective

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

I'll give someone $5 if they can honestly find a violinist who plays this movement better than Oistrakh. Oistrakh's beauty and phrasing in this piece are unparalleled by any other violinist I've ever heard.

[moses1489]

Heifetz and Kogan probably. :D

[ItzhakRoxMySox]

Well there is this one guy... Chances are that no one has heard of him, but he goes by the name of Dalibor Brazda, I have him on CD and his interpretations of all three movements are better than any other in my eyes. I wish I could share his Canzonetta with the world, it is amazing...

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

Upload the recordings, I would like to hear them

[ItzhakRoxMySox]

I wish I could, but my CD drive is screwed up and i've never found those recordings anywhere but on that CD... I may go over to someone's house to do that, i don't know. But I'll certainly see what I can do.

[aznsaiyan1029]

there r no perfect in music -.-

[jeongalex]

its easy to go sharp on this piece, since the whole first mvnt is in D major and this is in g minor, and i cant say oistrakh is not guilty of that

[OistrakhMilstein]

who cares? Music isn't about nit picking other people's mistakes!

[SamLee0519]

It's funny how you only say that for Oistrakh. Any other videos by other violinists, you're happy to point out mistakes here and there. If you're gonna say something like that, don't make yourself look like a hypocrite.

[govibe]

well other violinists make more mistakes!

[sleepingrabbit80]

waistoi actually he IS as popular as Heifetz and Milstein....

[waistoi]

I just cannot stop watching this.... it is so beautiful. Oistrakh is indeed the master of the masters

[joemazzini]

Yes, he is!

[vlnbot]

loveable.

[waistoi]

David Oistrakh is indeed such a fine musician. I wonder why he didn't become as big a name as Heifetz and Milstein

[mystuhmusic]

well he is in my book

[imer2001]

you mean did not become big in the US? :) Hello, cold war :(.... And admittedly, mass media was poor for art in general in USSR...

[sweetfuzzyteddy]

bravo

[cattleman54200120002]

Wonderful! David Oistrakh was such an incredible musician. His tone quality was so magical. I remember hearing him live in London. Thanks so much for letting us see this.

[OistrakhMilstein]

wtf who didn't give this one a 5?

[jeongalex]

incredible
