There are now some decent recordings of the first movement up, one in particular is by a young man playing on a violin that was constructed by his father (and it sounds incredible) He is a very fine violinist and does the work great justice. Check it out if you haven't already
I'm with you daverbecks. I played the first movement of this concerto for my college auditions last year, and it is far and away one of my favorite pieces(the whole concerto) Not only am I amazed that many of the super pros don't seem to play it, or that it's not programmed much by the major orchestras who want soloists to appear with them. I was sure I'd find the whole thing on youtube, but I still haven't. Next time I play it, the whole thing or part of it, it's going up I promise
the whole thing is here on youtube - Oistrakh playing it

It is amazing how Bokor can move his fingers. I am no where near that fast but... I am only in ninth grade.
