David Oistrakh - Khachaturian Violin Concerto (3rd mov)

[Jeffbear1]

It sounds great for a 1954 recording. I love the music of Aram Khachaturian and I especially love the third movement from his violin concerto. Nobody ever played this piece better than David Oistrakh. So crisp and beautiful !!

I actually have the first recording of this work ( a live Russian performance in 1940 by David Oistrakh ). He is fabulous in that 1940 recording of the first ever performance by anyone. Again he uses his own cadenza and not the one by Khachaturian.

[allannalla420]

@cattleman6420012000 omg please upload the video of his live performance so he can really blow my mind.

[cattleman6420012000]

@allannalla420 My problem is that I don't have the necessary equipment to put the performance on youtube. I very much apologise. David Oistrakh is always my favourite violinist. I actually heard him briefly in a Russian chamber music work in London in the later 1960s in London. Rostropovitch on cello and his wife also performed in it. The quality of the performance was unbelievably beautiful.

[lenasason]

he is super

[tomsteward]

must say I play flute and I like this much better on violin

[beethomozart]

beginning with echoes from his ultra famous saber dance, this 3rd movement clearly shows the armenian vein of this composer, Oistrakh himself premiered this concerto on november 16, 1940, definetely Mr. Oistrakh makes that violin talk and be felt by the listeners, great performance

omfg. my teacher is making me this?! shit... i think i might cry.

[tenthmurder]

haha. mine did too. I told him I never heard of it and that I'd go back to listen to it. After this, I am so glad I convinced him otherwise. Barber for me :)

[cattleman6420012000]

This is truly fabulous. I heard the late David Oistrakh and he had such a fabulous quality. He was genuinely so unique. People say he was a lovely humble man.I heard it from many people.

[robynsalain]

le roi du violon dans un concerto grandiose !!

[DMGIT]

greatest violinist plays the greatest violin concerto!!!!!

[iwillshowyou]

oh, Oistrakh... King of the Kings, BEST of the Bests !

[claireenet]

this concerto is seriously one of my favourites...it just has soo many awseome little parts in it.. clever melodic ideas and tunes, it's witty and bring a smile to my face. when listening to this music i can't feel anything other than joy :)

[patrickisfrench]

@claireenet if you like to smile to things that make you rage then this is right up your alley

[cogermax91]

subtil ,léger,délicat,vif,magnifique !!!!!!!!

[cattleman6420012000]

David Oistrakh was the greatest violin talent ever.Incredible warmth and perfection.Nobody matches him. He played this work absolutely incredibly. I heard his first recording of this, the first live performance in 1940 in Russia.Absolutely heavenly playing.People say he was such a lovely humble friendly person.

[Lukecash12]

You can easily tell that by observing his expressions when he plays Sibelius' Violin Concerto opus 47. By far, my personal favorite violinist.

[Cavaradossi1981]

ooohh come on, i never liked his way of playing. also too many wrong notes and bad tone..i prefer heifetz, gitlis, pikaisen, francescatti and of the new generation kavakos. hehe but oistakh was also ok, he made some cute recordings

[cattleman6420012000]

Cavaradossi1981. Maybe you didn't like his playing. I did and I'm entitled to. he had a heavenly quality and a wonderful tone. I heard him live.

[Cavaradossi1981]

of course. he was one of the greatest. oistrakh is oistrakh;-))) every good violin player likes him. the problem is that i can't really identify myself in his interpretations, as i do for example with mischa elman, heifetz, ruggero ricci, menuhin etc...but i have almost all his recordings nd i want to buy the documentary film of bruno monsaigeon on him. peace

[prayformercy4]

Cavaradossi1981: too many bad notes? what are u talking about

[RainViolin]

I think that this is the finla result everyone that plays this piece should aim at, perfection.

[kikom1973]

The best!!!...

[SierraNeef]

Wow... Thank you, excelent music.

[SMAKOSZMISTRZ]

Very Good

I love chaczaturian!

[FungoBoy]

for everybody that enjoyed this, i recommend also listening James Galway's recording of this on flute!

[winstonalex007]

I heard his recording, he gets off beat sometimes... there are better recording on the flute.

[FungoBoy]

really? i never heard other recordings of this piece. what are some other ones?

[theanswer00]

the rampal version, for example. Personally, as a flutist, i prefer his version. First because is nearer to the original then the galway's edition, because is less virtuosistic and comes deeper inside the music

[jesusfreakchase]

My teacher has been after me to find a nice recording of this work! Thanks so much for making it easy for lol Very crunchy!

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

Marvelous!

[curlyman217]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
