  • This is one of the most sublime compositions I know, so gorgeously played here by these two masters.

  • Igor was at that time one of the greatest living violists in the world and still considered "the son of oistrakh"

    The way he sings on the violin brings tears to my eyes even today.

  • WOW!

  • This is wonderful. Thank you very much.

  • @JNyilas

    I must absolutely agree. I recently acquired this recording. The advantage of this recording is that the sound quality is phenomenal, as well as the playing and chemistry between the two Oistrakhs. Whilst for me the Bach double concerto is the highlight, it is (in the set I got) nicely accompanied by the Beethoven Romances, as well as the Tchaik/Brahms concertos! What a wonderful compilation.

  • @JNyilas, I got the Deutsche Grammophon recording as a gift when I was young boy and still a beginner on the violin. It was like a role-model for me... and I share your sentiments entirely.

  • The Deutsche Gramaphon recording of the Oistrakhs playing the Double violin concerto is, in my opinion, the most alive and compassionate of the many that have been recorded. The interplay between the two and the understanding they have of Bach's work and their own intimate harmony is unearthly. It is not just a testimony to their own playing but the many years they have played together.

  • hwvr forgive my ignorance but to me it didn't feel like a conversation between equals but a 1st & 2nd part, is that how it was written? other performances feel more of a dialogue. unless here the recording quality is a factor.

  • Love watching the senior of the pair :-)

  • Mr Oistrack...You are the best...

    Thank you...

  • Breathtaking!!
