David Oistrakh was undoubtedly one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century.
Although Oistrakh is best known as a specialist in late-classical and Romantic works, he also commissioned and was the dedicatee of several contemporary compositions.
Oistrakh was also a well respected pedagogue, who spent his formidable years on the faculty of the Moscow Conservatory among such greats as Yuri Yankelevich and Boris Goldstein.

Oistrakh was acknowledged as a world-class violinist only after he won the first prize at the Ysaye competition in Brussels in 1937.
At his lessons Oistrakh was always calm and tolerant to his pupils weaknesses, respecting their human dignity (far from all major performers are like that).
Oistrakh was invited to conduct Beethovens Ninth Symphony at the Prague Spring Festival in 1975.

 David Oistrakh
As with the voice, there is in the nature of the violin an element of mythical, if not mystical, resonance, which accounts for the existence of a radical demarcation line between an extraordinarily limited number of ‘great’ violinists, unanimously recognized as such, and a quantity of admirable virtuosi of lesser vintage.
David Oistrakh was born in 1908 in Odessa, Russia (now Ukraine) and studied violin from the age of 5 with legendary Pyotr Solomonovich Stolyarsky; then he entered the Odessa music school.
David Oistrakh played in Paris and London in 1953 with extraordinary success; made his first Ameri­can appearances in 1955, as soloist with major American orchestras and in recitals, winning enthusias­tic acclaim; his playing was marked, apart from a phenomenal technique, by stylistic fidelity to works by different composers of different historical peri­ods.

 BEETHOVEN: Violin Concerto in D Major /MOZART: Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat for Violin, Viola and Orchestra - Yehudi ...
David Oistrakh (1908-1974), himself a fine exponent of the Beethoven Violin Concerto, leads the orchestral part for Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999), whose technique and tone are still remarkably intact for the grueling half-steps and elastic lines demanded by Beethoven.
Both Menuhin and Oistrakh were always partial to the Kreisler cadenzas for the Beethoven Concerto, and Menuhin briskly shines in those, as he does in the G Major Larghetto.
Igor Oistrakh has perhaps been consistently underrated by critics, but I found his interpretation of the Prokofiev D Major Concerto with Rozhdestvensky (on Music and Arts) devastating; and he is one of the few musicians to give a hearing to Liszt’s rarely played Epithalamion for violin and piano.

The difference in tempest between father and son became apparent: As soon as Igor Oistrakh took more liberty of tempo or agogic, the raise of the eyebrow of the father put things back to his style or tempo.
Although the tone of D. Oistrakh is sometimes quoted as too big when playing Bach, this concert gave prove of the stylistic feeling of the soloist and conductor.
Oistrakh displayed a multi-colored intense Prokofieff, in a full range from ppp to ff, especially in the second movement which was never heard before.

Yet to hear David Oistrakh's artistry operating in music that Shostakovich specifically tailored to the violinist's all-encompassing technique and wide expressive gamut is tantamount to being present at the creation.
Oistrakh recorded the First Concerto three times: twice in mono (Mitropoulos/New York, Mravinsky/Leningrad), and in a fine stereo remake that's never been on CD, with the composer's son Maxim at the helm of the New Philharmonia Orchestra.
This 1962 Edinburgh Festival recording essentially confirms rather than adds to what we know of Oistrakh's way with this score, from his meditative eloquence in the Nocturne and soaring intensity in the Passacaglia, to the effortlessly gauged mood swings in the cadenza and the controlled excitement he generates in the Burlesca.

Here, Oistrakh was joined by his son Igor, and he displayed his versatility by putting down his violin and taking up the viola.

David Oistrakh was already on his way to being one of the world's finest fiddlers, and young Igor showed signs of detesting violin sounds from the time he started making them at the age of six.
Last week Fiddler Igor, a thin, large-faced, jug-eared man of 25, was scything an energetic swath through German concert halls, harvesting hurrahs and reaping reviews that said if he is not already as good as his daddy, he soon will be.
Backstage, Igor Oistrakh anxiously asked Soviet friends, "How did the sound come across?" When he was assured that the acoustics were adequate, he smiled in relief, packed up his 1751 Guadagnini fiddle and left for Moscow, and some more lessons from father.

The picture is of a man deeply in love with both music and his country, who felt intense loyalty to the country which gave him the opportunity to become one of the world's outstanding musicians - loyalty to a country which eventually betrayed him.

In Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante, with Menuhin conducting, Igor Oistrakh on violin sounds bright and radiant, his father David, on viola, dark and warm; with great charm, brilliance and obvious mutual enjoyment, they play to and off each other in questioning, diverging phrases that come together in triumphant, ecstatic affirmation.
Though he no longer had complete mastery of fingers and bow, the buoyancy of his rhythm, the incandescent intensity of his tone and his deeply personal expressiveness were undiminished.
The playin contrasts two ages of the violin, the great age of Heifetz, Milstein, Menuhin and David Oistrakh in contrast to that of Kremer, Perlman, Zukerman and Igor Oistrakh.

Both of these collections are superbly recorded, as befits their respective needs, and both are praiseworthy despite some formidable competition in the the cases of the Violin Sonata of 1968, composed for Igor Oistrakh’s 60th birthday, and the Second Piano Sonata of 1942.
If you have Oistrakh’s version with Richter, by all means keep it – they gave the premiere and were disciples of the composer (along with the cellist Rostropovich) after Stalin’s death.
In an age when pianists have turned to conducting with increasing frequency, Ashkenazy is virtually alone in keeping up his keyboard technique, and Decca recorded his recital in Potton Hall in Suffolk with dead-on accuracy in matching subject matter and its execution.
