Clean, strong top class playing, where the geniality of the player comes from the forceful emergence of Beethoven's spirit and not from added personal inflections. By the way, the pianist... is Oborin.
Oborin's great musical partnership with Oistrakh stretched from 1935 well into the 1970s : and from 1940 the two, with cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky, formed one of the great piano trios. This is simply wonderful.
This is one of the most beautiful inicial themes written by Beethoven. Like Stephanie Huynh says below, it's like a flower blooming in the springtime. And Oistrakh plays it perfectly, delicate, slowly as it should be, every note with its real value, without rushing.
Absolutely number one interpretation! I can still remember it from my childhood, since the vinyl record was distributed in Poland in roundabout 70th of the last century..
So true. I just listened to Anne Sophie Mutter playing the same piece, and I couldn't stand it for two minutes. Oistrakh is so much better. Such precision!
Beethoven sits comfortably on top of the composers' Everest and shares with Shakespeare and Rembrandt the three peaks of the artistic super powers. As for those who dislike this, one can only pity them. What a massive slice of the glory of being alive they are missing.
Excellent interpretation due in large part to the immaculate timing. Although others such as Szeryng or Mutter produce a warmer timbre that lends itself better to this piece, Oistrakh is not misled by thoughts of Rubato (Mutter) and waits for each note to arrive naturally rather than hurries them along (Szeryng). The end result is first class and sets the benchmark for this marvellous work.
You are right about Mutter's rubato and Szeryng's hurring. I wrote my comment (see above) before reading yours and you can see that I agree with you when you say that Oistrak "waits for each note yo arrive naturally".
AMEN! But listen also to Kempff-Menhuin, Serkin-Busch, Claude Frank and Pamela Frank, Lili Kraus and Wlli Boskovsky, and several others each wonderful in its own way.
i think Mutter's version has too much vibrato, like too much sugar added that the piece is over-sweetened... i think Elman's version is also most beautiful, someone uploaded a 1955 version :)
It's the same wonderful Oistrakh violin, in this Beethoven sonata with piano, as you hear in recording's of David Oistrakh playing major orchestral concertos for solo violin. Players of all ages can learn from this marvelous balancing of violin voicings in all musical formats and configurations!
These ten sonatas of Beethoven are in truth really more PIANO pieces with violin accompaniment than the other way 'round. It's idiotic for the violinist's name to appear often without even MENTIONING the pianist. This is, indeed, a great performance, but if you listened to ten or twelve other versions, you would find there is no such thing as THE greatest. All who have recorded these pieces have something wonderful to offer, although I agree with those who find Anne Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orris's heavy distortions through excessive use of rubato and frequent tempo changes to be highly objectionable. Often in their work the phrasings seems MUTILATED, Anne's beautiful gone notwithstanding. Mutter has deteriorated badly since Von Karan died. HE was the guiding genius behind her success.
I would disagree that this is piano piece with violin accompaniment, and I would also disagree if you would have said that it were a violin piece with piano accompaniment. However, assuming you were just defending the common misconception that Beethoven's sonatas are violin sonatas with a piano accompaniment, I agree. I have heard them many times, and I have to agree that both a mediocre violinist and pianist ruin the piece equally, meaning that to play it really well, one needs not only a violinist such as Oistrakh, but also pianist of the same level of playing, and even more importantly proper balance and communication between the artists, imagine what it would be like combining two separate recordings of a pianist and violinist playing the same sonata, it would be terrible, whereas with pieces where there is an obvious accompaniment, this can be done (and has been done). The correct way to put it is that Beethoven wrote these sonatas for violin and piano, which is precisely what the title of the sonatas implies. Anyway, Cheers.
Such a nice interpretation, and the stereo is giving me the violin on my right ear and the piano on the left. Thanks for posting this timeless jewel, a balm for my ears and my soul.
this is one of my favourites on violin, it's such a beautiful song with loads of contrast! I played the Allegro movement for my As level practical and got an A, it's such a beautiful song to learn and it fills me with joy to listen to :)
the 29 people that disliked this clearly don't have a pulse. This is about as good as it gets for me and I've been playing this piece for the last year for my diploma exam.
The Oistrakh - Oberin combination reached a level of divinity. You cannot add or take out anything from it. In this Paris recording, Oberin played a critical role in holding the thing together like an architect. No other pianists playing this piece can do that. I mention this because Oberin's role is often overlooked. Interestingly, when Oistrakh and Richter formed a partnership in Beethoven/Brahms sonata series in 1970, they did not perform this piece, except for the brief movement III as an encore when they were in New York's Avery Fisher Hall. Obviously, they considered playing this piece so they practiced it, but finally decided to scrap the plan. I think that's a wise decision, and they paid respect to Oberin by not playing this piece. Or you can honor someone by playing it. In 1975.10.27, Moscow Conservatory's Bolshoi Hall held a concert honoring David Oistrakh. In this concert, Richter finally got his wish to play the spring sonata, but with the young violinist Oleg Kagan. It's a very fine reading with much better acoustic quality, but not comparable to this one in artistic aspects. What Richter never expected was that he was to outlive both Oistrakh and Kagan by many years. That's fate. A few years after the death of David Oistrakh, his son Igor praised his father for being loyal to his old partner Oberin by only reluctantly played with Richter. It seems that Igor never realize how critical a role Oberin play in this duo as well as in the so-called Oistrakh Trio. Richter is my favorite solo pianist, but he cannot play the role of Oberin in chamber music.
Tank you very much for sharing this beautiful peace from Ludvig Van Beethoven, born in Belgium a Aix La Chapelle, ostrak en borodin was a great duo , merci beaucoup
Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, although his ancestors from the fathers side were originally from Mechelen (now Belgium) which at the time was part of the 'Austrian Netherlands'
This is the best interpretation of Beethovens Spring Sonata Opus 24, that I have yet heard. In my opinion, it beats my earlier favourit, Adolf Busch (v) and Rudolf Serkin (p) in a recording from 1933.
This is one of the best compositions better written by mankind and played by one of the best artists. I was able to listen to this sonata and more music like this on the radio before I emigrated to this country 38 years ago. Thanks to the internet I am able to enjoy this kind of music again. For some reason NPR have been playing mostly the most boring classical music. Makes me wonder what their real intentions are.
David and Leo were geniuses, colleges and friends until Leo’s death.Btw the sound of Stradivari in Davids hands is unmatched, and Steinway produces such tender sounds- to match.
Beethoven, titanico musicista compositore delle sinfonie, della missa solemnis, della sonata appassionata e altri capolavori, in questa sonata (la primavera), come "per Elisa", si esprime con una dolcezza esemplare, vera rappresentazione dell'insorgere periodo romantico.
David Oistrakh made recordings for the Russian State classical music label, Melodiya. These recordings were marketing in the west under EMI Records, mainly on the Columbia Label and in the U.S. under Angel Records. Additionally, he made a few guest recordings with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of Eugene Ormandy. These were issued in US by Columbia Records. Exceptionally, during 1962, Oistrakh in a duo with the pianist Lev Oborine, recorded the complete cycle of Beethoven's violin and piano Sonatas for the Philips label, which were pressed on the Very first Philips Hi-Fi Stereo Anamorphic Plum Label. Many of the Melodiya recordings have been reissued by Warner Classics, as its parent company that acquired EMI's classical catalog.
Escolto D.Oistrakh des d'infant, a casa. Ara ja sóc vell. L'haig comparat amb altres grans violinistes (Stern, Menuhin...). Continou pensant que D. Oistrakh era únic. Schon als Kind habe ich D.Oistrakh gehört, su Hause. Jetzt bin ich alt. Ich habe ihn mit anderen großen Geigen verglichen (Stern, Menuhin...). Ich denke immer noch, dass D. Oistrakh einzigartig war.
Superb performance of one of the icons of the Violin repertoire. I play this work, and wish I could play it with even half of the precision and warmth.
Spot on! Oistrakh also played with Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter- his great mastery produced different style each time, but the results were always superb!
Oistrakh + Oborin: nails it
Me listening: he make it sound so easy
Me going back to practise: oh
Brilliant stuff!
thankyou for being born Mr.Beethoven
Nope
Whether intentional or not this is a genius comment.
Thank his mum and dad
@@grapesofwrath361 yeah his dad whooped his ass which is probably why some of his music is so powerful.
And happy belated birthday
Ever since listening to the performance by Davide Oistrakh, no other violinist content me.
David Oistrakh simply had irreplaceable tone. Such rich, warm and tasteful sound.
Clean, strong top class playing, where the geniality of the player comes from the forceful emergence of Beethoven's spirit and not from added personal inflections.
By the way, the pianist... is Oborin.
Brandino Machiavelli strict adherence to rhythm is the key.
Lev Oberin was Vladimir Ashkenazy's teacher.
Oborin's great musical partnership with Oistrakh stretched from 1935 well into the 1970s : and from 1940 the two, with cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky, formed one of the great piano trios. This is simply wonderful.
This is one of the most beautiful inicial themes written by Beethoven. Like Stephanie Huynh says below, it's like a flower blooming in the springtime. And Oistrakh plays it perfectly, delicate, slowly as it should be, every note with its real value, without rushing.
Did you forget that not Oistrakh is the only one playing? Or didn't you even notice? 😂
Absolutely number one interpretation! I can still remember it from my childhood, since the vinyl record was distributed in Poland in roundabout 70th of the last century..
Can't imagine better interpretation. This is just ideal.
Leave us not neglect Mr. Oborin - He's no slouch either.
Grazie you tube per i gioielli che ci fai ascoltare
This is the best interpretation I've heard!
So true. I just listened to Anne Sophie Mutter playing the same piece, and I couldn't stand it for two minutes. Oistrakh is so much better. Such precision!
i also love Elman's version, most lovely！
indeed, is the best!
no surprise, with the great Oistrakh
Agreed!
What a beautiful performance! It melts my heart. Beethoven & Oistrakh, great artists ❤
Beethoven sits comfortably on top of the composers' Everest and shares with Shakespeare and Rembrandt the three peaks of the artistic super powers. As for those who dislike this, one can only pity them. What a massive slice of the glory of being alive they are missing.
Stuart Russell Well said!
Perfection: Composer + Performers. No More Words.
RIP we appreciated your gift so much!
My favorite 2 instruments playing a beautiful piece 👌
Forse il migliore interprete di questa sonata.
This is playing straight from the wonderfully sensitive soul of Oistrakh. Simply untouchable, by any other violinist past or present.
Grumiaux
perfect rendition,captures the mood of spring,hope and joy,vitality.
Я наслаждаюсь каждым звуком этой чудесной музыки, этого прекрасного исполнения.

Ya Wen Liu you "think" not me.😊
And why not Grumiaux/Haskil
The greatest violin sonata with smooth chord, i've loved it since i was a child.
This was my step-mother's favorite!
It's the same wonderful Oistrakh violin, in this Beethoven sonata with piano, as you hear in recording's of David Oistrakh playing major orchestral concertos for solo violin. Players of all ages can learn from this marvelous balancing of violin voicings in all musical formats and configurations!
Strength and kindness the same time ... Oistrakh ... the greatest !!
And, to be fair, Oborin is not bad too.

I Like David Oistrakh he teaches my Teacher Mr . Zdenk Vioral 🌹
Truly beautiful playing of this magnificent work!
巨人が繊細な花束を編んでいるような演奏に聞こえます・・・Un esecuzione come un gigante compone un mazzo di fiore delicato...
Such a nice interpretation, and the stereo is giving me the violin on my right ear and the piano on the left. Thanks for posting this timeless jewel, a balm for my ears and my soul.

Wonderful song! Thank you for creating the song, Mr. Beethoven!

(No hate meant)
He did it for you.

Il maestro del mio maestro.
Praticamente formidabile. Violino fantastico e interpretazione favolosa. Grazie!
This is performance shows Oistrakh as a virtuoso.
The adagio at 10.12 makes me cry of longing of my beloved immortal. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this music.
I hope I could see his playing in front of him.
A wonderful piece, played by wonderful musicians.
the 29 people that disliked this clearly don't have a pulse. This is about as good as it gets for me and I've been playing this piece for the last year for my diploma exam.
exactly. not pulse lol
I dont give a shit about your exam:) good luck with it
DIPLCM bitch
Wow it's a diploma piece? This is my Abrsm grade 8 piece
Charlotte Sweeney same omg
Lev Oborin and David Oistrak wonderfull, very expressive interpretation of this beautiful piece.
Absolute magic to listen to ..so uplifting ..
Представители высочайшей Советской культуры.Огромное спасибо!
Они представители РУССКОЙ культуры.
Владимир Шуберт нет. Евреем
Exquisite! A perfect fusion of Classical elegance with Romantic expressivity, made possible by an absolute technical mastery.
마음이편안하고 아름다운곡입니다

A lot of information, but unfortunately misspelling the name ObOrin.
Superb performance of this amazing composition of the “Great”Master.
Maravilhosa interpretação, para mim Oistrakh é o melhor intérprete das sonatas de Beethoven
Highly amusing ! So clear! So Bright! Thank you for sharing.
Zsering es mejor,quizás el mejor de todos lostiempos
wonderfully uplifting!!!
I think it is the bestest best interpretation ever of this song! Amazing.
Tank you very much for sharing this beautiful peace from Ludvig Van Beethoven, born in Belgium a Aix La Chapelle, ostrak en borodin was a great duo , merci beaucoup
Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, although his ancestors from the fathers side were originally from Mechelen (now Belgium) which at the time was part of the 'Austrian Netherlands'
One of the most impressive piece of music I’ve ever heard.❤❤❤
This is the best interpretation of Beethovens Spring Sonata Opus 24, that I have yet heard. In my opinion, it beats my earlier favourit, Adolf Busch (v) and Rudolf Serkin (p) in a recording from 1933.
You're welcome to your opinion, of course, but comparisons never cease to be obvious all the same.
I meant ODIOUS not obvious. Sorry!
the minute between 19:38 and 20:38 is absolutely divine.
The piano in (5:35 ~ 6:06) is good, too.
J'ai été élevée (dans les deux sens du terme) avec cette version magnifique !
molto bello!!!

AMAZING ! THANK YOU !
A delicious music for my ears and heart !
Fantastic!
I didn't want this to end....❤
Un des meilleurs interprètes !
One of the summits of Music in Human Nature
David and Leo were geniuses, colleges and friends until Leo’s death.Btw the sound of Stradivari in Davids hands is unmatched, and Steinway produces such tender sounds- to match.
nice remarks👍
Ой! Прелесть какая красивая песенка! 🤓😇🥰😌☺️😊
Haw beatiful Mr.David Oistrakh Violin playing.l like him very mach &his stayel God give him full mersy😍🌹⚘🌷🌱🌿⚘

I agree too.

wonderful
For me, still the benchmark performance.
Quelle merveille cette sonate c est la perfection
Escolto D.Oistrakh des d'infant, a casa. Ara ja sóc vell. L'haig comparat amb altres grans violinistes (Stern, Menuhin...). Continou pensant que D. Oistrakh era únic.
Schon als Kind habe ich D.Oistrakh gehört, su Hause. Jetzt bin ich alt. Ich habe ihn mit anderen großen Geigen verglichen (Stern, Menuhin...). Ich denke immer noch, dass D. Oistrakh einzigartig war.
This music reminds me of the quote that "April is the most cruelist month"
"Spring Sonata" always makes me think of my ever-young wife.
Superb performance of one of the icons of the Violin repertoire. I play this work, and wish I could play it with even half of the precision and warmth.
So beautiful sound
The incomparable Oistrakh
¡Es nada más y nada menos que el interprete "el genio del violín"!
Bello
nice recording!
Who is the pianist? This work is as much for piano as it is for violin.
The pianist is Lev Oborin and yes, that is because this is chamber music.
Yep. More of a duet.
Robert Tuley Lev Oborin
yep its a duet
...nada más que un paseo por los jardines del Schoenbrunn...!
This may have been recorded in 1962, but I have yet to hear anything that came after that can top it, except perhaps for one pianist in Kyoto.
I realize that the Oistrakh pianist was Oborin. I meant to ask this question re the Milstein recording and put it on the wrong comment page.
I know it´s too slow but I like it this way
Beethoven: Sonata for Violin and Piano No.5 in F, Op.24 - "Spring"
Spot on! Oistrakh also played with Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter- his great mastery produced different style each time, but the results were always superb!
the part at 1:27 is so catchy and dramatic!
nice
Just about perfect. Could you add the score?
Great !! It's just a model performance how to play this piece, I think. ...
Tick !
toma tu laik
