Oistrakh plays Zarzycki - Mazurka

[MadAuralSkills]

I love how Oistrakh looks into the camera after he's finished! His expression is like, "Yeah, I really did just play the shit out of that."

The greatest violinist of the 20th century overall

scary to think what he sounded like in his mid 20s

@dpogorelov The most important thing is he got better and better as time goes by (even in his 60s!!!)

So maybe this is better than his mid 20s. I've never seen this kinda violinist...

Oistrakh is my model... I really want to be like him...... Large sound, soft vibrato, and magnificent expression...

This used to be an extremely popular encore piece or, in the old days, part of the virtuoso 2nd half of a violinist's recital. How nice to see the video!!

I always loved the wonderful triple meter and bounce--even as a small child.

This is just remarkable playing from the young virtuoso Oistrakh. He shows a fine sense of humor as well as his usual sterling technique and violinism.

Wow, this is stunning.

Flawless technique!

[dkurgano]

definitely oistrakh's best playing. quite possible the most perfect violin playing ever recorded
