Shostakovich Violin Concerto 1 op 99 5/5

[ribeiroj1747]

You have somehow cut all the movements in the worst possible places FOUR times. Nevertheless, an excellent performance that deserves more recognition then it currently receives.

[snowscum]

Wow!

[gilraen789]

My appreciation for the music of Shostakovitch just grew immeasurably!

[tlcooper93]

Shostakovich was probably at that performance.

[tachuman]

What incredible violin playing! As other comments are saying, he was just amazing! Thank you for posting.

[emanoelcarmo69]

this is the clean sound of pure notes difficult these days ..

[JFKWT]

@Wanuha I think you have enough views to upload the whole concerto as 1 video ^_^

[solveaproblem]

[charcharism]

Bravo !!!

[iLOVEmusicAH]

I just adore this piece and Oistrakh was GOD!!!!

[kelamuni]

kogan gives me shivers but oistrakh gives me convulsions wherein drops of liquid are excreted from my eyes.

[kelamuni]

oh my goodness. i wish i had a time machine.

[Mnacuspia004]

where can i get this dvd recording? which is the name, emi, what??

[stoklund]

4:50-7:56 says it all!!!

[jorgealbertobaron]

Lo escuché varias veces en lp por estos dias dice JORGE ALBERTO BARON desde Bogotá, Colombia, Suramérica.

[Oistrakhfollower]

Was Oistrakh a human being,

or a giant,

or a titan

or a god??????

[pppsssssssss]

What more can you say except the ORIGINAL Shostakovich interpretation? What's even more amazing is that Oistrakh does not play the Shostakovich the same way/same tempo for any two performances. That's what I love about his playing...it's so technically satisfying, yet, musically, it seems it is as if he is bringing forth very raw, pure, and in-the-moment emotions! nothing seems manufactured...all the music seems to flow out of his soul in the present. Bravo, Maestro Oistrakh!

[peiwenviolinist]

NO ONE DARE TO DISLIKE THIS CONCERTO BY OISTRAKH ON YOUTUBE.

[buchwaldtm]

If only this had 1098756 hundred quadrillion billion views like some of the crap on youtube... this world would be a better place.

[frankcisyarmi]

un concierto q seguramente sirvio de modelo para muchos luego puedan tocarlo genial DOistrach !!!!!

[ouw9000]

Sjostakovitch is god for me.... one of them ;)

[buenobus]

if this Oistrakh doesn't get some company creating violin hero, i don't know what will.

[slateflash]

OMFG his pizz at 1:51 is fucking awesome:O:O

I have no idea how he does it

[bowenjuice]

4:05

Ballzy As Fuck.

[greenfuse0]

This is breathtaking! I will be watching Sarah Chang try to pull this off tomorrow night at SPAC with the Philadelphia Orchestra. My fingers will be crossed for her!

[pppsssssssss]

@greenfuse0 How was that performance? I read a review of it online and it said she was outstanding. I saw her perform the Shostakovich live as well, and it as, although different from Oistrakh, just as musically moving. She actually performed last summer in Aspen with Shostakovich to glowing reviews. To me, Sarah and the Shostakovich are a great combination...technically, but more importantly, musically, amazing.

[violinromero]

Uno de los mas grandes maestros del violin, que gran interpretacion de esta obra tan misteriosa y engimatica......ideologia y musica......

[zander09401]

strange how audiences have changed over the years. When hahn finishes, the audience storms in applause but when oistrakh finishes the applause is much more conservative. hahns performance is very good but doesnt come half as close to oistrakh.

[garrrynec]

@zander09401 lol, no artist today is half as close to oistrakh lol

[honron21]

@garrrynec no artist today is half close to any great maestro of the past

[garrrynec]

@honron21 very VERY true. It seems like they all want to sound perfect. In doing so, they lack the colour that was inherent of the great maestros of the past who just wanted to express their own interpretation of any given piece. Since Gitlis is still alive, I will give him the honour he deserves (though some many argue). No one can deny that his playing is unique and has a colour all his own. For that, he deserves a legendary title in my books.

[honron21]

@garrrynec I am agree with you but I would like to add that the great maestros of the past didn`t want to express their own interpretation just for to be original (vanity) as the new generations do, the great maestros express their own interpretations because they do have their own one, new generations don`t have it then they do any thing just with the aim to be original and different and the result is mere shit.

[buenobus]

i worship in the church of Oistrakh

[Tcygtcyg]

This piece is really hard....

[jayant515]

There is no one to beat David Oistrakh. Superb!!!

[renlisiegfried]

I can't imagine the sheer endurance needed to get through that piece.

[slateflash]

I wish Shostakovich had developed this mvt more, 4:45 seems too short for me

[brother234]

my my. and love how they show the encore moments.  how wonderful he was.

[jascha1978]

HEAVY! Awesome!

[majark4]

I think without a doubt this concerto is the best Violin concerto ever

[chiefnate57]

op77 as written in the '40s, op99 as 'rleased (along w/Sym 10) in the '50s. Chill.

[superbemaison]

Op77 not op99!!!

[plaplapla007]

David Oistrach - He is just the god! Thanks so much for posting the whole concert!

[momopovitch]

en maths ou en physique peut ètre, à moins d'avoir l'espace temps matérialisé devant soi avec précision... En musique surement pas. L'évolution et le progrès n'ont rien à voir avec l'art.

[tangiiiiiii]

faut-il être un génie pour apprécier le travail d'un génie ? en mathématiques, en physique, en musique... ? 50 000 années d'évolution pénible pour en arriver là... ça valait le coup d'attendre !

[sherwood1947]

Remarkable--There is none to compare

The absolute standard

It is unbelievable

[Cranebird]

UNBELIEVABLE!!! U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E PERFORMANCE!!! Thank you so much!!! I love David Oistrakh!!!

[dhannotte]

Probably the most exciting 7 minutes of violin music ever. Oistrakh's performance thrills me as much at the age of 63 as it did at the age of 10.

[rapoport3a]

I heard him play this on November 25, 1965 under Kondrashin, one of the greatest moments of my life.

[calloffthedogs]

words do not describe

[violin03]

Thanks much! Will you post 1 and 2?
