The pinnacle of Romanticism, woven by a violin virtuoso
David Oistrakh takes on the Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn concertos in this masterpiece.
Oistrakh's rich, warm tone, combined with the brilliant resonance of the Philadelphia Orchestra, illuminates the depths of the music. The contrast between the overwhelming passion of Tchaikovsky and the delicate lyricism of Mendelssohn is wonderful. Supported by Eugene Ormandy's assured conducting, this is a moving and masterful performance that can be said to be the pinnacle of violin performance.
