Oistrakh plays Dvorak - Slavonic Dance No 2

[Oistrakhfollower]

@occupyyourmind2 @Xargxes  Your welcome, and I have to apologize for my mistake. Oistrakh was 33, not 34. He was born in 1908

[Xargxes]

Beautiful. When was it recorded?

[Oistrakhfollower]

@Xargxes 1941, Moscow. When David was 34. World War II was destroying the world

[Xargxes]

@Oistrakhfollower Thanks!

[occupyyourmind2]

@Oistrakhfollower Thank you!

People have to keep in mind that this is an old video. The changing of pitch in these kind of media was commonplace, mainly because of age. One can hear it in old cassette tapes.

[megazmay]

this video is not in his normal speed . . . it is not e minor, and zou can see also bz movement of Oistrakhs hands

[cloverbrease]

I think I'm in love :O

[Violinmatt2]

it is at the wrong pitch. no matter. it's still beautiful.

[Violinmatt2]

how could anyone not love classical music. it moves you, inspires, motivates, and so much more. i could listen to this one song for days. but then i would have no time to learn it myself.

A great video of a fine player known to one of my teachers . It's a reflection of an earlier time. Music that will last forever, despite the modern era.I am moved upon hearing it every time,and will play it it all my life.

[mshchuk]

I love Oistrakh, and this dance, but I think it's been posted at the wrong speed. It's reallly sharp!

[Ceciontwoclefs]

Thank you, David Oistrakh, King David of the Violin, for existing...

[ssavova]

[5600167]

just beautiful, l love this piece and im trying hard on it

[StarTrekLover1000]

wow, this is so beautiful!! gotta learn how 2 play it one day!! anyone know when this video was recorded?? 5 STARS

[sadom321]

i gotta learn to play this D=

[Chromometron]

Let me correct that:

I'm getting to play this :D

[MTheoryGuy]

Excellent, but isn't this the 10th Slavonic dance?

[Violinmatt2]

@MTheoryGuy to the gentleman who queried if this was the 10th slavonic dance, i tell him nay. good guess but the 10th slavonic dance is full orchestra.

[MTheoryGuy]

@Violinmatt2 Thank you, I understand now. Whenever I anything titled including the word "dance" my brain fires off into a confusing maelstrom of Dvorak and Brahms, thus leading me to make many such errors. It is hard to keep up with the productivity of two such geniuses.

[Violinmatt2]

@MTheoryGuy no problem. i understand how you feel. i feel like that to sometimes.

[Violinmatt2]

@MTheoryGuy i very much agree on your last statement. Dvorak and Brahms wrote so many pieces of music that it is indeed difficult to remember or hear all of them.

[Violinmatt2]

@MTheoryGuy another thing to know is that the tenth Slavonic dance does not like the 2nd. I was looking to see where your confusion came from. Some people made the mistake of putting other slavonic dances instead of the tenth. they also misunderstand that n.2 op.46 is a totally different piece.

sorry to everyone whose comments were bumped off by mine. i took the time to read all of them.it makes me so happy that so many people still love and cherish classical music

[JTPark1994]

this could make ppl cry, with such a beautiful melody, and how beautifully its played

[emotionalboy89]

[paparaszka]

[slychihuahua]

[sneddley]

Thank you so much for this!

[yubbina]

wow......

[theyodeloflife]

Oh wow! I love Oistrakh and I love the Slavonic Dances. Thanks for posting this!

[OriginalMoonbeam]

absolutely beautiful! Looks like that bow arm developed over time..here he is using a much lighter bow than he used in later years--later he has a much more heavy bow that I guess would accomadate the aggressive bowing style he developed..he could snap that bow like a tooth pick! :)

[anantkamath82]

rare beautiful one.

[lucienvmxiao]

Bravo~

[violin03]
