Description
David Fyodorovich Oistrakh (30 September [O.S. 17 September] 1908 – 24 October 1974) was a renowned Soviet classical violinist and violist. Oistrakh collaborated with major orchestras and musicians from many parts of the world, including the Soviet Union, Europe, and the United States, and was the dedicatee of numerous violin works, including both of Dmitri Shostakovich's violin concerti, and the violin concerto by Aram Khachaturian. He is considered one of the preeminent violinists of the 20th century.
Kirill Petrovich Kondrashin (Russian: ?????? ???????? ?????????; 6 March [O.S. 21 February] 1914 – 7 March 1981) was a Famous Russian conductor. In the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1958, he was the conductor for Van Cliburn, who won the first prize. After the competition he toured the United States with Cliburn, being the first Russian conductor to visit America since the Cold War began. They performed and recorded the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.3 and Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1, which they had played in the competition. The recordings easily sold millions of copies in America. And their Tchaikovsky recording for RCA Victor was the first classical LP to go platinum. Later, in 1972, a live performance of Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2 reunited Cliburn and Kondrashin with the Moscow Philharmonic in Moscow; RCA Victor eventually released the performance, along with a studio recording of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, on CD. He was also the artistic director of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra from 1960 to 1975. During this period he premiered Shostakovich's Symphony No.4 in December 1961 and No.13 the following year. He gave several performances in Europe and America with other famous Russian musicians like Rostropovich, Oistrakh, and Sviatoslav Richter
This handsome LP features David Oistrakh's fiery reading of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major Op. 35, made in 1957 with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Kyrill Kondrashin. Their partnership is imbued with a sweep and ardor that it is as breathtaking. Incidentally, I know of no other recording in which Oistrakh's playing has such a tangible presence – he's right there. Soviet sound engineering has often, unfairly in this listener's opinion, been cause for complaint by from Western critics, but here it is every bit equal to anything from this era, bit it from Columbia, Decca, Deusche Grammophon, or Philips. The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, was written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1878. It is one of the best known violin concertos, and is considered one of the most technically difficult works for the violin.
