  • Its almost impossible not to clap after the first movement. I know you're not supposed to but I mean really.

  • This is simply one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard. :D

  • Simply an amazing performance!!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Emil & Dariel Liakhovetski (cellists)

  • oof this has just blown my mind opened me up to a dimension that i knew existed but had never experienced great stuff

  • I am shocked - I just went up to cloud 9 and stayed there forever....

  • WHEN? WHERE? WITH WHAT OTHER MUSICIANS AND CONDUCTOR? PLEASE INCLUDE ALL ARCHIVAL INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF VIEWERS.

  • that little smile at the end, thats happiness right there

  • Plain epic. Enough said.

  • Glossy tone !!

  • In my view, as a lover of violin music since I was young many decades ago, Oistrakh is by far the greater musician (musically speaking) than Heifetz, and most of today's violinists. His playing has the sensitivity, warmth and emotional elements that are frequently lacking in Heifetz's mostly technically focused and sometimes bravura playing. Oistrakh's techniques were never inferior to Heifetz; just that his playing is always subservient to the music, and music is not vehicle for techniques.

  • Such old footage always has a special charm for me!

  • This very tender and sentimental part played by Ostrakh together with his Russian passion brought up my spirits besides the tears form 1st Part.. Great performance.

  • I love how right at the end the first violinist (or whoever that is) and Oistrakh are in sync :D

  • the first part of this clip is the most beautiful part of the song, the recurring theme in the orchestra and his beaaaaautiful high trills :) this is music!

  • look at him when he finishes, hes like," yeah im chill i just whipped off a 20 minute concerto movement no biggie" ...wish that was me

  • In 1960 I owned and cherished an LP featuring Oistrakh performing the Tchaikovsky on one side and the Mendelssohn on the other. Only recently did I find this video, and Sam, I cannot thank you enough for uploading it!

  • Anyone who thinks that there shouldn't be applause after this movement is insane.

  • @Cormcolash this the 3 rd mouvment not the 2 nd

  • @sicapavlescu this is the 1st mvmt!!

  • @sicapavlescu you should probably learn English properly and get your movements right before posting in this kind of thing....

  • @Cormcolash As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that Peter Tchaikovsky himself ripped himself out of his grave, dusted off tatters of clothing on his crumbling skeleton and applauded with the great fervor and fullness of heart right at the end of this movement when it was performed, so I think it's OK for the audience.

    I've heard other virtuosos play this and seriously, this is just a whole level above what some of the other masters put out.

    It's enthralling at every second.

  • @eschelar I'm pretty sure once Tschaik got himself up, he would have cried with joy that someone played his music years later, and with so much passion and precision. :)

  • Did Oistrakh make a mistake at 1:35? The flageolette tone should be longer, shouldnt it?

  • @Maxy1896 Not on my score

  • the man was sailing

  • How is that possible? Used to be one of my favorite concerto...is now on first place since I review this video every day for a week! His force comes from a deep understanding of the music he plays and unbelievable skills...I become a fan :-)

    I see a lot of hope for the planet and humankind when I hear such perfection...waouw that is music!!!

  • i'm in tears now4 people dislike.????ther is no hope for this planet

  • @TheDekidean es mi violinista favorito

    me inspira

    lastima que halla muerto!

  • No one played this like Oistrakh. Especially not the butcher Isaac Stern, or the others who think it's a race. Of the thousands of classical albums and CDs I own, the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35, with Oistrakh and Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra is far and away my favorite.

  • That performance of the first movement was brilliant...the audience had to acknowledge. I often sit in the front row center at concerts and 'clap' with my fingers after a particularly well played movement. The musicians definitely notice.

  • BRAVO...

  • Grazie!!!

    Grazie!!!

    Grazie!!!

  • this is an incredible performance... 2 thumbs up!

  • If I were there listening I'd be in tears.

  • @aden0724 diddo

  • Orchestra? Conductor?

  • @autexcbaty The conductor is Rhozdestvensky and it's the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra

  • It is such a great performance. I have watched several clips of this piece. This one is one of the bests. I couldn't stop crying.

  • @kavkav23 your not the only crying! I'm smiling and crying at the same time!! This is absolutely amazing!

  • Wow! this is one of my favorite concertos, and I've never heard it played like that before! Very interesting interpretation! :)

  • Has an asteroid named after him.

  • @eye3tech

    Should be, in my opinion, a supernova.

  • I<3 this

  • Dites moi si je me trompe: l'intonation ne serait elle pas approximative à 1:57 ???

    Ça n'enlève rien à la meilleure interprétation du Tchaikovsky Concerto avec celle de C. Ferras et T. Varga

  • Can you hear he's heart singing ? <3

  • Could this video start at any better part of the concerto? It's my favorite part, that's for sure!

  • What can one say?! Nothing! Just watch the respect of the violinists behind him from their look!!

  • WWOOWW

  • CLAP

  • I always hated people that going on such concerts only to cough. There is just no recordings where nobody coughed except those made in studio, though those ones are lacking passion mostly. Not that it diminishes performance by any big means, but it's irritating. And yes - Tchaikovsky was-is-and forever will be - an absolute genius. Takes everything to master his pieces.

  • Raoultak... absolutely. It also has a tinge of gypsy quality to parts... so Russian.

  • This is "glorioso"

  • Amazing.

  • From Tchaikovsky via Oistrakh a 100% stroke into my heart: with the Tchaikovsky concerto Oistrakh is my unrivalled soloist. No words can expose feelings but tears and silence.

    Oistrakhs technique services a very genuine rendition of what music is about, yet so many use music to show their wonderful technique. Oistrakh definitely is one of our worlds miracles: a jewel to cherish.

  • Tears.

  • Yes, very beautiful - hard to pick between him and Heifetz - like two supremely beautiful, and perfect, flowers of different hues. Thank you for posting - I am so grateful that the age is such that I am able to see moving film of these violin greats.

  • Epic....

  • number one

  • This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)

  • so much beauty, yes lear23a this is heaven !!!

  • My god, this is heaven.

    Since 12 years old I listened and my first climas was with this concert.

  • so much beauty, yes lear23a this is heaven !!!

  • Legend!!!!

  • The ridiculous rallentando at the end is the only thing I have ever been able to find in Rozdestvenski's conducting to criticise. Everything else is beyond superb; he and Rostropovich were the perfect match.

  • So elegant! Musically speaking so in motion. Heifetzs performance has been referred to as a tornado (quote Perlman), technically! Oistrakhs performance has an oh so God mighty depth ...tears are the only way to react. Words suddenly have no meaning.

  • Anche se io adoro la versione di Uto Ughi devo ammettere che anche questa è strapitosa!....bravissimi ! riescono quasi a far parlare il violino....Emozionante davvero !

  • BRILLIANT VIOLINIST !

  • @i4DoL the guy rocks man))

  • @trifio5242 Yes he is.

    He and Leonid Kogan - more rare then dimonds!

    watch?v=SQ4PE8IbtEk

  • @i4DoL Kogan <3 Oistrakh <3 Heifetz <3 I don't even dare to compare them cuz They are just gods!

  • what i can say so many years we try but the genius is always there to remind us of what can be acheived but not just from hard work wonderful to be able to play like this in the top 4 of all time who are the others

  • Well done! Bravo SamLeo

  • aniway to find this file on the internet????

    i'll really apreciate every help

  • He is brilliant and the recording is magnificent. Thanks for posting.

  • I wish there would have been a violinist back in the day that basically specialized in playing very fast paced, eerie scary sounding music. Then again, I think that music back then would have probably been referred to as devil music.

  • He makes it look so effortless, so simple

    =3

  • Comment removed

  • He's brilliant, always been my idol, bravo!

  • it really is my favorite interpretation of this beautiful piece

  • That is hurculean. He really did something there, didn't he?

  • This is just beautiful.

  • the audience applauded between movements back then?

  • I think maybe it was because it's a pretty hard movement and they just did it out of the excitement of the moment. I havent listened to this recording in awhile so i cant remember if they did it in between the other movements either so i couldnt really give you a definite answer. I think thats all it was though.

  • so lovely!

  • Oistrakh. Simply brilliant not only technique wise but bravo to making all of us feel the thrills down our spines and the climax of the music. Tchaikovsky would be pleased with your interpretation of his music.

  • I'm speechless. Holy shit...

  • Thank u so much for posting this exquisette musical experience.

  • que empaque!!!!, mi preferido por siempre.

  • What a bastard place to make the cut from 1st to 2nd vid. Really evil.

  • For sure, that's why i set my playlist to autoplay.

  • The Best... EVER!

  • Thank you for posting this ... bravo to you Sam Lee

  • che brivido lungo la schiena!

  • Meraviglioso, grandissimo Oistrakh.

  • THE BLESSSSED ONE

  • do you feel that? don't listen to anything, just to feel it.

    this's a fight, a conflit, a passion.

    that's what said my father when he played that.

  • Oistrakh owns

  • The dare when this super concert was held in Moscow specificaly at the Tchaikovsy Hall and it was on the 27th of September 1968,just 3 days before David Oistrakh actual 60th Birthday!

  • God Bless forever David Oistrakh!

    What a great artist and human beeing he was!I can not believe he would have been 100 today! By The Way If somebody did not know this famous concert condudtor is Gennady Rozhdestvensky and the Moscow Radio Symphoiny Orchestra and it was also Oistrakh birthday celebration concert of he's 60th birthday in 1968!In tha Great Hall in Moscow!Thanks for this wonderful video!

  • Great violinist!!!!! Happy Centennial!!!!!

  • the best!!!!

  • i hate it when they clap in between movements. tchaik concerto is a notorious one for that

  • It actually used to be traditional to clap after the first movement of any orchestral work...

  • I didn't know anything about this... how interesting!

  • True...true...which is why it is Ataca between the second and third movements.

  • No way, sometimes people deserve to be clapped for in between movements. Oistrakh deserved it. I saw Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg perform this concerto live and she ALMOST got a standing ovation after the first movement lol.

  • xD you're right! this is cause crappy people can't read the program and read "3 movements!!!"

  • Honestly I think anyone who thinks that people shouldn't have clapped after the first movement of this performance is just a snob. Fuck the rules. This is an incredible performance and it's natural for the audience to want to express their excitement after such an excellent performance of an excellent first movement.

  • right on

  • exactly!!

  • @AbsoluteZ3R0 Absolutely agreed. It's rather obvious when people clap out of ignorance in between movements, but for a masterly performance, the urge to clap after is spontaneous. Because: silence simply won't do! A genuine applause after a fabulous movement is a very special and rare tribute to the performer(s), and they often silently acknowledge it. I'm proud to say I've led an in-between-movements applause at least twice in my concert-going life!

  • @AbsoluteZ3R0

    the clap seems fake, I mean I think they clapped at the end of the concert but not at the end of the 1st movement. When they show the people at 6.22 they don't seem to clap!

  • @NOalRAZZISMO The clap seemed "fake"? What? How does that even make sense?

  • @AbsoluteZ3R0

    maybe the editor of this clip took the clapping from the end of the concert and inserted after the first movement. Do you see anyone actually clapping? It's just a theory anyway, not even important. Enjoy the music....

  • @AbsoluteZ3R0

    Absolute-ly right!!

  • @AbsoluteZ3R0 I'm not even sure that those claps are real.

  • @AbsoluteZ3R0

    Fuck the audience. You're a fucking snob. Keep drinking Coke you fucking whore. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, and the claps aren't written in it. I think this song deserves some fucking respect and so does the artist, try and keep quiet while you're experiencing the rapture. It's not about the fucking audience.

  • @athf1589 Not sure if troll

  • Excellent! What every concert ought to be! Marvellous violinist, and a master.

  • Simplemente, lo mejor de lo mejor!!! The Best of the Best!!!!

  • Aplausos para el maestro Oistrakh

  • applause after the first movement :D but deserved

  • you dont know him..hahahahaha!

  • Dude, i love this recording and all, but i have to agree Spivakov is awesome. Truly an amazing violin player.

  • Really? What exactly was Tchaikovsky going through when he wrote this piece?

  • A very happy life (for once) in beautiful countryside with the boy he loved I believe, hence the uncharacteristic joyfulness.

  • He is so good!

  • This is really one of the most amazing music pieces ever, so brilliant and emotional, Tchaikovsky is a genius , love him ! This is a wonderful performance , Davis is great !

  • he's brilliant. obsolutely amazing. no wondering why contemporary violinists rarely are able to compete with the old greats

  • 3:00 to 3:17 -> soooo beautifuuul!!!

  • he's my teacher's teacher's teacher's teacher

    exciting

  • Oops, a little sharp at 3:09...otherwise, 100% brilliant. :)

  • Ha, because you could play that! :')

  • that is what makes oistrakh unique

  • i guess LorenzoLassek can play this concert with orchestra better (specially the octaves stuff), thats why he cant forgive him...

  • haha:))

    and if he also makes a mistake, it will be unforgivable.

  • Beautiful! Should be required listening for the 21st Century.

  • One of the many great things about this performance is that he makes it all look so easy and fluid. His bowings are logical and he doesnt do the "downbow drama" to excess. Yes, Oistrakh was one of the absolute greatest!

  • Wow, Lorenzo, what a sharp ear you have! You're RIGHT! But I'm sure we can forgive this little lapse if we get such a performance! :)

  • Then you clearly have poor appreciation of music...because Oistrakh is really great and in spite of one lapse, his performance is amazing. You're just a mindless stickler.

  • nobody is perfect

  • Of course issagele, and you are one of the imperfections of the humanity....

    Oistrakh is one of the BEST!!! violinist of the world...and this version is remarkable...!!

  • He IS the best!

  • Wow, what a profound comment !

  • you dont know him!!hahaha!!!

  • Why is this spam, it's right, a lot of his octave work IS out of tune.

    Doesn't bother me though, it's still an amazing performance and a single take, a quality I admire in the old violinists over newer recordings where different takes are cut and spliced. This is a LIVE performance, not some modern polished studio turd ;)

  • His recording is much better, but I can't seem to find it. It was on YouTube last time I checked.

  • Who said that?

  • AAAA.060122Z JAN 2008 This is good no doubt about that Thank you.....AR.

  • this guy is a frickin' musical genius!!! bravo!!! ^-^

  • Thank you for posting this breathtaking performance.

  • Wow! :o)

  • He is a real master.

  • jeez the endurance to play a piece like this straight for more than 20 minutes..

  • That's just the first movement, including the other movements it's a 45 minute concerto

  • Esto es un tributo a la música. ¡Maravilloso!. Es admirable poder apreciar una joya musical, que hoy es historia. Me imagino, si esta tecnología hubiese estado disponible en la época de paganini, y pudiésemos percibir y apreciar: como tocaba, como era su técnica, sonido, etc. lamentablemente eso se perdió para siempre. Por eso me complazco en estas iniciativas como el video, que nos permiten admirar algo que ya fue. Muchas gracias al que lo colocó.

  • i was listening this concerto in the train going to Paris..so, a lot of emotion..

    thank you so much samlee !!!!

  • Yes, it's Gennady Rozhdestvensky and the Moscow Philharmonic orchestra, performed in Tchaikovsky Hall in 1968.

  • Has anyone a recording of Oistrakh playing the ballade from marcel Poot? Im working on this piece and my teacher told that it was his piece he played as an extra
