The very best version of this concerto (all three parts). David Oistrakh - the greatest of the greats - certainly deserves the stormy applauds and bravos from the enthusiastic audience.
Each era in classical music provides a unique perspective on the world and human emotions. Exploring and understanding the history of classical music offers insights into the culture and mindset of that period.
Не перестаю дивиться феноменальному уровню дарования Давида Ойстраха - и ведь даже не столько техническому, сколько масштабу его удивительной личности...сколько бы ни слушал его исполнение - это всегда свежо, будто впервые и всегда праздник !!! На 1968-й год мне было 5 лет, Ойстраху оставалось 6 лет его яркой и удивительной жизни и судьбы...из великих застал Леонида Когана и Третьякова.
안네소피무터의 영상이 있길래 조금 듣다가 생각난 김에 이작 펄먼 또 다비드 오이스트라흐까지 찾아 들어왔는데 비교 불가.역시 최고 중의 최고다. 어쩌면 저렇게 바이올린을 쉽게 연주하고도 깊고 아름다운 소리를 낼까? 바이올린이 한몸인 것도 같고... 영상을 보니 LP로 듣는 감동과는 또 다른 느낌이 있다.정말 대단하다.
I've also listened to Itzhak Perlman - he's not up to David Oistrakh's standard. And Ann-Sophie Mutter - I lost my taste for her in a version of Bach's double violin concerto
Another, far better world. Oistrakh producing marvels as is Boult: not a hint of showmanship from either. David just played, Sir Adrian just doing the bare minimum. Magnificent stuff :-)
SIR ADRIAN BOULT WAS A PHENOMENAL MAESTRO. HIS VERSION OF THE MAHLER 1st SYMPHONY IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD. THIS WAS A TRULY GREAT PERFORMANCE. NOTICE THAT OISTRAKH DIDN'T USE A CRUTCH. TODAY, EVERYONE USES A CRUTCH.
@@nicolasmarquesruiz7556 Shoulder rest. Note how David has the freedom to take the fiddle from his chin even during the shortest of rests. These days players have the instrument locked under the chin for entire movements. The musical world today is not a better one in many respects. The typical professional is way better than in the period shown here; however, at the very top end, individuality seems to have been taught out these days.
@@paulcaswell2813 I agree with you, Oistrakh was such a master. Many wonderful interpretations although some call him old-fashioned... I don't agree at all!!!
+Александр Шинкаренко This has been the usual way to play the Beethoven at this time - a soloist wth the orchestra as a necessary bypack. And that unfortunately leads to Oistrakh just presenting one loudness and one tone colour. It sounds a bit like an athletic show, as if he did not play the concert, but worked the concert
@@paulcaswell2813 - What a coincidence! They are my number 1 and 2 choices for the Chaconne. For a minute, I thought I had written your post, not you! :)
sshuck You can be absolutely certain that it is Oistrakh's tempo - Boult always went with the soloist re tempo. Anyway, it's a very middle-of-the road tempo, it's not slow at all.
Ian Letham Listening again. Yeah, you're right. :) Maybe I was reacting to Oistrakh's stretto starting @ 6:15, probably for expressive reasons. No orchestra could play "with" that, or be expected to; that kind of bullish playing is out of vogue with today's Barbara Bonney silky-smooth aesthetic.
sshuck Thanks - I have had this recording on (illegal, I suspect) Japanese DVD for some time, and I think Oistrakh, the most marvellous of violinists , is a little uneasy in it. It's just an impression, maybe, but he followed a punishing schedule asa propaganda violinist for the Soviet regime, poor man, that it must have happened sometimes. As for Boult, in recordings with Milstein, Ricci and Josef Suk (very slow) he matches what he does with the soloist as far as possible, so each one of these follows different tempi , that with Suk being very slow, as Suk was also many years before with Konwitschny in an old Suprphon LP.
@@leitfie3579 Suk could most definitely pile on the slow tempi; however, changing composer and genre, his Brahms sonatas (with Katchen) are IMO unmatched.
+Ian Letham No, I don't look at his career, I just look at how he conducts the Beethoven and that is really not overwhelming. But don't get this wrong, it does not say anything about his qualities and his career, it's just about this special recording :)
@@martinsinger9886 Do you mean that he doesn't throw himself about and 'emote'? Is there anything wrong with the orchestral contribution - poor ensemble, poor balance, whatever?? If not, the conductor's doing fine.
@@paulcaswell2813 Indeed! The "fuss", if any, would have taken place in the rehearsal - the latter obviously perfect, as no fuss was in the least required for the performance!
Nelson Liew By the way, I do agree with you in a sense. I love interpretation of this concerto by Hahn, Mutter, Repin, and the best of all: Zukerman. But labeling Oistrakh as an overrated violinist is total nonsense for me.
It was David Oistrakh who made me really see the pure beauty of this genial concerto

ありがとうございます。指揮者もバイオリンも素晴らしい。

He's my all time favourite violinist playing the most beautiful violin concerto ever!
Violation concerto? Wow... that was cruel :P
CookingJames1 ha ha ha
Well met - David Oistrakh is the King in all what he does
For the Beethoven violin concerto , David Oistrakh is the best among all violinists.
You're right - I add: David Oistrakh is The King in all of his music-making!

That's true, about Boult. Every gesture was calculated to have an effect, and if the orchestra could manage without, then he simply let them do it.
I'm completely of the same opinion...

Beautiful! Amazing! around 5:37 he makes an articulation mistake... great that makes me realize he is human :)
The best violin concerto ever played by the 3rd best maestro ever.
Who is 1st and 2nd?
Sorry - the first of all the greats - forever....
Amazing!
Amazing....
Thank you!!
God Bless you :)
Among my 2 wishes ever : I wish I were A. Einstein or D. Oistrakh.
3:56
Good!
no audio again.. what's going on?
Nobody is going to miss the downbeat that's for sure
To loud :"The King of violinists" =)

3rd best? :P

I feel DO is constantly frustrated with AB's plodding tempo.

@@paulcaswell2813 I quite agree. He was a very fine artiste whom I admire greatly.
He cannot surpass Yehudi Menuhin!
Sir Adrian Boult is a sad excuse for a conductor...
Tomas Ebrelius Surprising that you say that, if you look at the facts of his career ........

@@paulcaswell2813 Indeed! The "fuss", if any, would have taken place in the rehearsal - the latter obviously perfect, as no fuss was in the least required for the performance!
Personal opinion. Many violinists nowadays can interpret this concerto way better than him. Another overrated "legend"...
Nelson Liew Go listen to his 1958 recording and tell me if he still "overrated".
CookingJames1 Mind to share the link here?
