David Oistrakh - Brahms Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77

David Oistrakh at his finest, performing the full Brahms Violin Concerto in D, Opus 77, with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Kirill Kondrashin in 1963.
I - Allegro non troppo, Cadenza by Joseph Joachim
II - Adagio
III - Allegro Giocoso, ma non troppo vivace - Poco più presto

[@erichstocker8358]

I was very fortunate to hear David Oistrakh in person when he was touring in the USA. He stopped in Columbus Ohio and played with the Columbus Symphony. Certainly a 2nd tier if not third tier orchestra in the USA. However, Oistrakh was always gracious in playing with such symphonies. He was brilliant as usual. Played the Beethoven Violin Concerto. He was just a gracious person in sharing his extraordinary talents.

[@xapaga1]

I quite like the Oistrakh recordings with Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell, but I've never heard of Columbus Symphony Orchestra in Ohio, USA, let alone the once in a lifetime sort of collaboration with Oistrakh. Rather confusingly, we have recordings of Columbia Symphony Orchestra under Bruno Walter as well, but actually Oistrakh never played with Walter even though there's a Sony CD with names of Oistrakh and Walter together. In reality Oistrakh played with Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy (Sibelius Violin Concerto), the recording of which is compiled together with Zino Francescatti with Walter (Beethoven Violin Concerto).

[@erichstocker8358]

Yes I have some of the Cleveland recordings. Columbus Symphony never recorded anything that I know of. This was an in person concert that he did with the symphony.

[@xapaga1]

@@erichstocker8358 Right. No worries. It's not that I doubt your fond memories of Oistrakh in person but that I wanted to point out the confusion (albeit in my head only). I only wish they had recorded the performance in Columbus, Ohio.

[@pianoredux7516]

Nobody else had his sweet, buttery, singing sound, particularly in the high melodies on the E string, or his sunny quality. There is always an emotional warmth to his playing.

[@richardmorse5307]

Oistrach’s version of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto is the greatest I’ve ever heard for clarity, evenness between the notes, intonation, power and excitement. It has the right emotional intensity and speed and for music historians expresses the turmoil Tchaikovsky had just gone through at that time of his life. I also first heard it around the early 60’s and my jaw dropped open for a week.

[@ullakorpi-anttila88]

I've never heard Tchaikovsky's interpreted and played better: and anything and everything David Oistrakh plays is the very best - honest, earnest performances; true to the music and true to himself...

[@ruthnodiff9176]

His playing touches the heartstrings!

[@hassankabiri2851]

He does not play like a Man .He plays like God. I love him.

[@mariaeskelinen8078]

I jused to regard David Oistrach as a kind of ultimate God of violin. His way to play is so supremely brilliant, plain, honest and charmingly masculine. Then I found Daniel Lozakowich. He constantly takes my breath away.

[@shadboltbill]

Heard Oistrakh first around 1960, can't claim he's the greatest because there's no such thing in great art, but no violinist in my experience could equal him for power and excitement. Still and always my favorite.

[@jansnauwaert1785]

There are unfortunately few recordings left of Ginette Neveu, who died tragically, in a plane crash, at the age of 30. But enough to say that she was more magical and there was even more power (altough she was a woman) and excitement than with Oistrakh. Easily the "greatest" violinist of the 20th century. Also depth of interpretation, so not only technical skill.

Сейчас, возвращаясь в это чудесное время, одно скажу - со-равного даже среди современных Давиду Ойстраху скрипачей мне при всей скрупулёзности и при всём упорстве обнаружить так и не привелось - это, если брать во внимание глубину трактовок и их ясный авторский замысел, настолько ярко, мощно, неповторимо и недосягаемо воплощённый в исполнении этого гиганта XX века.

RCA included this and a performance of Mozart's K207 (from the same concert - the slow movement marvellously played) in a 2-CD issue about twenty-five years ago, along with the two Shostakovich concertos. (Carefully they cut out the intervals between the movements - which in a performance like this you need). This is a real performance - by the finale the accompanied cadenza is so perfectly done it doesn't even come across as display, and the coda of the first movement is almost ideal. I heard him play the Brahms In Manchester once, but Barbirolli wasn't conducting, and it soon became clear that Maurice Handford, a former brass player, who was, was taking his cues from Oistrakh. Here Kondrashin and Oistrakh are equals.
