@@dannyboy2267 I meant the quality Maxim vengerov's recording had a very loud tssssssssssss sound you know Itzhak had a very good sound quality as well
@@MLaval-qo7en Thanks - with RU-vid we may listen to the greatest music, composers and musicians: and exchange views - I love everything David Oistrakh (King of Violinists) plays and conducts. This video is one of my favourites - besides hearing, also watching him play, is so very enjoyable. Another version of the Tchaikovsky concerto: Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto - Oistrakh/Ormandy/Philadelphia - Eugen Ormandy, also the most brilliant conductor as well as the orchestra. David Oistrakh has also recorded Sibelius' and Mendelssohn's concertos with Ormandy and Philadelphia - they are, in my opinion, outstanding. The Mendelssohn concerto he also plays with Kirill Kondrashin and USSR State Orchestra - I love that version of Mendelssohn even more...
Performed and recorded in Moscow 1968 David Oistrakh: 30 September 1908 (Odessa) - 24 October 1974 (Amsterdam) Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra Gennady Rozhdestvensky
I am compelled to mention that, originally hearing Heifetz's interpretation of this concerto, I was so awestruck. However, upon listening to Oistrakh play Tchaikovsky's composition in this video, it had a distinguishable feel and tone. I find it marvelous how different people could make the same piece of music sound so different. Collectively, I just prefer this rendition over Heifetz's.
I would not care to make a judgment as to the superiority of one over the other until I could hear each recorded in the same room with the same orchestra, same conductor, same microphones and the same electronic equipment - which now is impossible. Clearly, the Oistrakh recording - as a recording technically - is far superior to that of Heifetz.
In my opinion the best interpretation of this concerto. His understanding of the composer's musical language, the brilliance of the violin playing coupled with musical eloquence and not to mention the amazing warmth and clarity of sound that Oistrakh produced - even whilst playing the most virtuosic passages - makes this performance really stand out.
Same. Probably 40 years ago for me when I was a kid. My parents had this same live recording on vinyl and I nearly wore out the record! Recognise it’s the same recording we had due to the fluffed harmonic at 11:51! He was my main inspiration for becoming a professional violinist and still my favourite player of all time!
They were fully right when they said he was the best performer of Tchaikovsky's concert. It is just amazing, I can't stop listening to it. The concert is already awesome and perfect, but Oistrakh took it to another level.
Gorgeous! One thing that I've always thought about Oistrakh is that he looks like a Chicago mobster whose brain has been replaced with one of a violin virtuoso.
ludlow 889 I hear I was related to bugsy. Distant of course. I should hire a family tree guy to prove it. I don’t wanna claim it for real than look like Elizabeth Warren.
Heiftez for technique, Oistrach for emotion. Both equally grand performances to be enjoyed. Tchaikovsky to be thanked for such an inspirational piece of music.
I was a 10-year-old violin student when my parents bought for me an LP featuring Oistrakh performing the Tchiakovsky on one side and the Mendelssohn on the other. Now 60, I have heard many versions since, but none compares to "King David"!
I totally agree. I've listened to Perlman, Midori, Chang, Heifetz, and this wonderful man. Though they are all mind-blowing-ly fantastic, and each slightly unique, Oistrakh is still my absolute favourite performer for this piece.
Хорошо, что сохранились записи таких гигантов старой классической музыкальной школы как Ойстрах, Рождественский. Чайковский звучит в их исполнении как бесценная антикварная картина и очень по-русски.
WTF! it's just the best violin sound i've ever heard, it's just beautiful, his articulation is so exact and he takes care about every note he plays T.T beautiful!!!
+Ramón G Castañeda 11:38 is exactly from a Paganini caprice. I just forget which. Going down chromatically (1 half step at a time) using 2 notes. Or at least it's similar in that regard. Prob not the same interval or notes. And those fast major arpeggios going up and back down in successively longer arps is also the end of Caprice 24, I believe. So, those folks weren't doing much dancing to free time arpeggios, I'd guess. Standing still and listening probably. :)
@@TruthSurge this "descending glissando" motif is used in many violin pieces, Paganini was probably one of the first composers to use it, but it's not only his. Sarasate, Wieniawski, Tchaikovsky, even Saint-Saens used it in their violin pieces.
This has got to be the richest and most lovely sound I have every heard from a violin.... wow this guy is almost amazing. closest i've every gotten to crying from music.
This is exquisite. So free yet completely complimentary to the score. This man’s great artistry and humanity comes through in every note. Rhostesvensky’s conducting is, as it always was, a perfect match.
Это Божественно! Слушала в исполнении гениальных Хейфеца, Менухина, Перлмана- неповторимо у каждого! Но мурашки по коже - от бесподобного Ойстраха!!!! Браво!
Who is best doesn't matter to me. When I first began to love the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto it was introduced to me by David Oistrakh and he will always be special to me. It brings back great memories!
I've listened to other talented violinists, but David Oistrakh is by far the Best. I wish I could listen to him playing in person. Sad there is no one this gifted now days
genius!!!! One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and performed flawlessly by the great Oistrakh! Thank you so much for posting, tis a true masterpiece!
I have a tremendous love for this piece - it takes me to a place in my mind where I can face, in ecstasy, every longing that has burdened me thus far in my life. Sublimely elegant, and, yet, violently passionate. Thank you, Mr. Oistrakh, for your inspired rendition of this work.
Grande Oistrakh nell'interpretazione di questo concerto lo rende quasi unico e rende difficile per le nuove generazioni di violinisti adattarsi a questa disciplina musicale!
Best violinist who ever lived, IMO. Right here on the tube. Priceless. Watch his wrist & fingers on the RH. Astounding technique, he creates such a smooth and clear articulation.
His right hand.....nobody's ever had such one. Just fabulous. Sa main droite, jamais vue chez aucun autre, tout simplement fabuleux. Mélange de douceur, de précision et de vivacité, comment est-ce possible? Pour moi le plus grand.
Is there any better? This is my hero playing one of the most beautiful concertos, in a way that affects all. Oistrakh is and was...........the greatest.
Thank you for posting the concert in two pieces, it's great to hear him playing it again. As a young university student I almost wore out my LP of him playing the concerto. It sounds so similar, but that album was with Eugene Ormandy, The Philadelphia Orchestra.
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. I used to listen to David (and his brother Igor) back in the early 1960's on vinyl. What mastery...and his tone is so warm ...reminds me of Gideon Kramer today.
Man this has to be my favorite interpretation I’ve heard of the piece so far. He plays with such a heavy sense of romanticism that I think really captures what Tchaikovsky was going for. Super cool
his finalle is simply the greatest i've seen on all the performances i've seen. the sheer emotion and power right at the end with the full force of that wonderful violin, is simply put, Awsome.
That's the best performance of one of the great composers. This represents all of the feeling, the quintessence of the romanticism. This music (and performance) can make you cry, fall in love, and get enegy. I love tchaikovsky, and Oistrakh. So Romantic, WHO DOES NOT LOVE?
wow, it sounds much touching than the Heifetz's interpretation in the movie~ though I was attracted by Heifetz's superb technique and power, Oistrakh's (as well as the Orchestra's) interpretation could make me feel more Russian when listening to this.
i don't know about you guys, but i always tear up when i hear this masterpiece. and now to hear it in a combination with David Oistrakh! i really dont know what to say other then: thank you david, thank you very much! :)
You are so right -- the listener can feel the personal emotional struggles of Tchaikovsky that were bottled up inside him & that he could not express verbally (about his personal life), but which are palpable & can be felt so deeply through his extraordinary violin concerto. This is my personal favorite piece of music for this reason -- it speaks to all of us who cannot or do not wish to express the emotionally solitary existence of everyday life (perhaps all of us). By the way, when it was premiered it received the most negative reviews by music critics who said that it 'tore music asunder' & that it 'stunk to the ear'. So much for critics! Additionally, I have never heard another violinist extract more of what it means to be a human being out of this piece; so I find comments about contests of technical issues to significantly miss what is so extraordinary about Oistrakh's interpretation of this incredible music. Every note from start to finish is exciting, wonderful & meaningful. You are so right with your penetrating insight: this song talks about life. I never tire of it!
I just discovered "youtube" not long ago. (Where have you been, girl?) What a luxury to listen to these world renown musicians with most famous orchestras accompanying them. Thank you, to all these people who made it possible! What I miss though is that often there is no mention of the conductor's name, the name of the orchestra and the date when it was recorded. This would really put it in context. However, even so, it is heaven! Elizabeth
This is the best version of violin concerto in D op35. It really outperforms heifetz version. The slow tempo gives more russian feeling and a warm and nice sound. Heifetz just seems to rush at the end of the 1st move.
Прекрасное исполнение концерта. Всё настолько выверено... можно ли сыграть лучше? Замечательная скрипка, оркестр ей под стать, о скрипаче уже молчу... Просто эталон... И качество записи лучше многих современных... Какой это год?
