Prokofiev Violin Sonata Op.80 Oistrakh Richter (1972)

[draconionmethods]

I would like to thank the unimaginative Soviet videographer who shot this concert. Being able to study Oistrakh's bowing choices is such a gift. Thank you, USSR, and the key of F minor.

@win081 Did Argerich and Kremer play Sonata No. 1? I found the second Sonata on YT. If they played the other one, I'd love to be able to hear their rendition.

[win081]

@pianofan24 Yes, on 1991 Deutsche Grammphon audio recording.

A miracle that the film recordings still exist. I remember getting the lp when I was fifteen, and the total shock to realize that music could go so far beyond the romantic tradition that I knew. The sheer pain of the violin and the sinister continuum of the piano in the back, the apparent lack of dialogue except where they mourn together as of 3:12, and in their reconciliation as of 5:00. Prokofiev said the violin is the wind blowing on the graveyard. Very impressive composition.

Thank you very much for this video. Do you know if Oistrakh and Richter ever played the sonata Op. 94?

@eleirbag89 yes , but richter recorded only the flute sonata ( the original op.94)
