David Oistrakh plays Debussy Sonata in Gminor part1 

Sarai sempre il più grande di tutti !!! sarai sempre nei nostri cuori e non dimenticheremo mai le emozioni che ci hai dato con i tuoi dischi e i tuoi concerti....grazie

I believe DO is the finest instrumentalist ever recorded-

I think it sounds great. just imagine of the greats played on recordings of today.... They'd be beyond great.

Ésta versión en violín y piano me transporta a mi juventud inquieta y...me devuelve a mi presente romántico con mi esposa.

The thing is at that time they didnt have recordings with correct pitch so oistrakh g string isnt really out of tune its the recording that is very very very very out of tune anyway really breathtaking perfomance of david oistrkh he is true violinist

simply the best

wonderful! thanks so much for posting!

He is God!! The boss!!

well it's good enough for me ! :-)

i am being taught by a man who was taught by him :) closer ties. but equal reverence.

I mean its the recording that is flat but i must admit the recording is really flat

Good point. It sounds like like goofy errors to me. I have heard this same piece recorded correctly and it was perfect. This one is nice though to compare; gives you an appreciation for just how in-control David Oistracht was of his instrument. Check out the one played live (same one that was lifted for the Henry & June soundtrack). Gives me goosebumps that such sound quality could be achieved in 1930's Germany, but then again, BMW, Telefunken, Bonowi, etc. And thats the short list.

is it just his sound, monsieur?

ca m'adide trop pour ma technique

really?! who? same here ^^

actually it is flat, not sharp

The g string is not in tune!!

busted.
