[Underheifetz]

The cadenza he is playing is the Kachaturians cadenza or Oistrachs cadenza?

[UltimateViolin]

It's Oistrakh's cadenza. Kachaturian's is inferior, in my opinion; good beginning, but it kind of rambles to the end.

[cicerone63]

this is a legendary version!

[albatrosscrow]

The best music that I ever listen....

Impossible to hear it without tears in my eyes....

[stringsattached8998]

This, my friends, is THE FINEST CONCERTO EVER WRITTEN FOR VIOLIN

Khachaturian! What an awesome composer.

I love Oistrakh's playing - and his cadenzas are always AMAZING! =D

[LEOPARDTWO]

You should hear Oistrakh play Sibelius' Violin Concerto. 

[arsench1992]

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO KHACHATURYAN IS THE BEST OF THE BESTS!

[JazzLoverKhurram]

This is one of my favourite violin concertos Oistrakh is brilliant ! Thank you very much...the fast staccato runs in the first movement somehow always remind me of the playing of Jazz fusion guitar virtuoso John McLaughlin lol :-)

I'm playing this piece now and I almost hate how easy he makes it sound. Just learning one small passage of this piece can take upwards of fifteen minutes, not including playing it up to speed, metronome work and so on. David Oistrakh was a truly unbelievable player, far better than almost all current violinists. I wish I could make it sound this easy! Beautiful music.
