David Oistrakh - Khachaturian Violin Concerto (3rd mov)

Soaring...

I actually have the first recording of this work ( a live Russian performance in 1940 by David Oistrakh ). He is fabulous in that 1940 recording of the first ever performance by anyone. Again he uses his own cadenza and not the one by Khachaturian.

he is super

Cavaradossi1981: too many bad notes? what are u talking about

must say I play flute and I like this much better on violin

beginning with echoes from his ultra famous saber dance, this 3rd movement clearly shows the armenian vein of this composer, Oistrakh himself premiered this concerto on november 16, 1940, definetely Mr. Oistrakh makes that violin talk and be felt by the listeners, great performance

haha. mine did too. I told him I never heard of it and that I'd go back to listen to it. After this, I am so glad I convinced him otherwise. Barber for me :)

the rampal version, for example. Personally, as a flutist, i prefer his version. First because is nearer to the original then the galway's edition, because is less virtuosistic and comes deeper inside the music
