Oh…please, beloved music lovers; don’t compare great masters. They all tell us their story, their greatness goes beyond our perception. We ought to be privileged to be able to listen to a huge pallet of renditions.
Cool fact, oistrakh and Shostakovich’ birthdays are 4 days apart (Shostakovich September 25 and oistrakh is September 30th) but 2 years apart, Shostakovich being older born 1906 and oistrakh being 1908
My husband and I saw Maestro Oistrakh many years ago, and my eyes teared in the presence of such a great musician. I am, today April 10/16 watching the You Tube performance, and my heart goes to such a great man, wherever he is (probably playing to Lenin)
I have always had great admiration for his vibrato and would much prefer it over the small, nervous,"hummingbird"types--the sound of his vibrato is beautiful and the movement that he needs to accomplish that sound is simply whatever it takes for him to do so...there is nothing unnecessary in any of his movements. It would be absurd for anyone of us to criticize A THING regarding such a master as this man as I am sure none of us play in his league and could benefit from watching him.
Oistrakh tilts his violin to play on different strings. Head drops down for low G string notes, Head raises for E string notes which flattens the violin . Notice all through this video what head position is used for high and low notes. Modern clip on shoulder rests restrict and make this tilting impossible .
Performed and recorded in Moscow 1968 David Oistrakh: 30 September 1908 (Odessa) - 24 October 1974 (Amsterdam) Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra Gennady Rozhdestvensky
Pour moi le meilleur violoniste de tous les temps. Arriver à jouer ce concerto avec un tel relâchement du corps et d une intensité et une sensibilité extrême. Bravo Maestro.
Just played this piece in January- great piece! And Oistrakh was the teacher of one of my teachers, Igor Gruppman, so it's like watching grand-dad in black-n-white! Thanks for posting this video!
I agree. He plays effortlessly, but with emotion. Many excellent violinists don't have his timing and feeling. When Yehudi Menuhin played together, Yehudi appeared to be rushing it, whereas Oistrackh sat back and pounced!
I am not a big Tchaikovsky fan . . . not really a fan of the Romantic era (though I love Dvorak) . . . but this! This piece of music . . . and particularly this performance . . . is every bit as brilliant as the best of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven or any other composer past or present!! This is musical perfection . . . My God! What must it feel like to step back and see that you have created something like this . . . pure beauty . . . pure music . . . Incredible!
This really is an astounding performance. His technique fabulous, the interpretation beautiful and exciting. I think I may have written this before but someone asked about the conductor..? It's Gennady Rozhdensvensky. Look up his performance of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony on here. And yes, that IS Shostakovich at 10:13. Thanks so much for posting this.
When you watch this guy and Heifetz play you can see who set the bar for todays best players to aspire to. Matcheable? possibly, Beatable? I really can't see how. Simply marvelous anyway you look at it. I also love the tonal qualities of his fiddle.
Just awesome. I'd never actually seen him play before, and I'm really liking his technique. He looks really comfortable and relaxed, his bow arm moves so easily and naturally.
Yes it's Gennady Rozhdestvensky conducting, and yes it was Dimitri Shostakovich in the audience. This is from a 1968 film at the Great Hall, as part of a several month celebration of Oistrakh's 60th birthday.
I really love the way David Oistrakh played this piece.Wonderful musical taste,beautiful tone quality and excellent technical polish. He didn't overdo the phrasing.
I thought I had heard every great work in music.. I must have died and gone to Heaven now hearing this version, first years ago in Carnegie Hall, before 11/09/2001 that brought me here to fight AlQ after Laos '70 and it's now in my pack .. who needs those virgins with this before us ALIVE ?? ! Magnificent ! God bless the greatest language on earth, music !! garner tullis
I LOVE that David Oistrach NEVER "Act" while he is playing!! He is truly "Honest" player . He has "The Hole Packedge " with a healthy balance between "His heart and Brain"..!.......... Love his "Body Language " while performing .......
That is a comment with which I fully agree - he is earnest, honest in playing, and was a modest, unpretentious, kindhearted person - this shines out of his music...
kind of surprising that he takes the standard cuts in this movement. seems like recently, you almost never hear it with the cuts, like there's some kind of originalist thing going on where we must be absolutely faithful to the original score. you never hear the cuts from any contestant in the Tchaikovsky competition. i prefer it *with* the cuts; it flows so much better.
In the beginning of his solo - the first phrase - would there be any other violinist who can hit the strings with such a force without losing control of the bow and get too harsh a tone? And the pizzicato - a stunning pause before the last tone...
Just impeccable. He never forgets a single rule, brings different character to repetitions of the same theme, hurls profound colour and vibrato into the room, and might i mention that during this entire performance the orchestra behind him gazes on in a state of hero worship, especially the fella with the glasses just behind him on Oistrakh's right whose eyes almost roll to the back of his head during the 1st and 3rd movement.
Back then, the cameramen really knew how to take the best shot of these monumental performances, unlike today's video editing - switching from one video from another each second to have a flashy feeling.....
Its like playing with a Dinky-toy, so easy it sounds. Its like God got to his emotions, so profound this sounds. And on top of this, Oistrakhs charisma and conspiracy to Tchaikovsky makes him the total master of this piece. So awesome.... is there any better? Yes, there is... just listen again and again....it gets even better.
Phrase, dynamic, warm sound, touch, soul - it's cosmos. And so human. You can learn some, but a lot of it just G-d given. You have it or you don't. Oistrakh is stunning.
Was anyone else brought here from Galneryus' "Angel Of Salvation"? If you weren't, go and check it out, the guitar solo towards the end uses excerpts from this piece of music.
I was privileged to attend 3 of King David's concerts at Carnegie Hall, one of which had him conducting Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony. After his concert with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra (Mozart and Bach Concerti) I went to the 56th Street exit to get his autograph. He emerged along with the promoter, Sol Hurok; they were conversing in Yiddish.
What a super performance! Oistrakh gives each melody its own clear personality. Every phrase is played in musical context. Today's trained-for-competition violinists and pianists are technically very proficient, but with a one-size-fits-all approach to style and interpretation. Oistrakh's serious approach to music-making would never be a success today, though. It's now all about personality, baby. Give us the looks. Give us the hair. Just don't bother us with the music, please.
This is St.Peterburg old Hall or Moscow Concert, but I'm quite sure. In this Concert visitor is Schostakovitch. May be it can be St.Peterburg's Concert Hall ...
@EmaMozart It's what happens when the violin's bow loses its grip on the string. Violinists usually put rosin on the bow to avoid this, but it can wear off towards the end of a performance (especially a demanding one such as this one).

Je to mistrovské provedení, tomuto dílu nejlépe rozuměl mistr David Oistrach a ruští hudebníci. Také obdiv k nástroji - určitě hráno na stradivárky "Marsic" z r. 1705. Do popisku bych doplnila, že ho doprovází Moskevská Státní filharmonie pod vedením Gennadije Rožděstvěnského. Podle mého mohla nahrávka vzniknout někdy kolem r. 1968. Mistra Oistracha jsem slyšela osobně na festivalu Pražské jaro i s jeho synem Igorem, a byl to samozřejmě nezapomenutelný zážitek. Moc děkuji za nahrávku a zdravím z Rakovnicka.

Right - but David Oistrakh is the Greatest of the Greats!
@@ullakorpi-anttila88Just stop with this greatest thing for once.
@@JoshuaLo2732 Give me a good reason 😮
10:02 Shostakovich clapping for Oistrakh. Just fabulous!
10:02 Oh my God!!!! It is Dmitry Shostakovich!!!!
..it absolutely is !
It could be considering they were both Russian and lived in rhe same time but I don’t think that’s him
cheezy I would tend to believe that it is, why would they have a camera positioned exactly watching one man in particular with such a close angel
Cool fact, oistrakh and Shostakovich’ birthdays are 4 days apart (Shostakovich September 25 and oistrakh is September 30th) but 2 years apart, Shostakovich being older born 1906 and oistrakh being 1908

but how to move from a position to another without moving the instrument...
l really find it difficult,
Is the one at the end of the video Shostakovich??
Yes, he is! :)
The one clapping his hands is indeed Shostakovich.
SHOSTY IN THE AUDIENCE
Gives me chills to see Shostakovich in the audience...
Omg, Shosty :'3

The best violinist, forever. MARVELOUS interpretation of a BEAUTIFUL concerto. And not, I'm not exaggerated.

Bravo Maestro.
This is Old School! Finesse, power, and majesty! Definitive Tchaikovsky.
I'm performing this tomorrow and this is currently my favorite recording. Everything about this is on another level.
Hope you were successful 😊

So cool!
I've listened to you playing Gounod's Ave Maria - simply beautiful!
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
from what I've read the Tchaikovsky was one of Oistrakh's favorite concertos.. and it shows!
I agree. He plays effortlessly, but with emotion. Many excellent violinists don't have his timing and feeling. When Yehudi Menuhin played together, Yehudi appeared to be rushing it, whereas Oistrackh sat back and pounced!

How do you not liek the romantic era
I just love him.
He is really amazing.
sounds very good enough,wonderful,amazing
There are no words to discribe. Where does this sound come from? How does he do this? No other violinist like him!
I agree!!!!!
Such a best of a movement! Oistrakh is if not the greatest! one of the best!
He is indeed the greatest of the greats of all time - The King.
I have been inspired by this recording since I was a child, thanks so much for publishing.

I love all about his playing !!!
David Oistrakh is the greatest violinist in the 20th century for me. He is also the best one to play Tchaikovsky.
You've got it exactly right!!!
I really love the way David Oistrakh played this piece.Wonderful musical taste,beautiful tone quality and excellent technical polish. He didn't overdo the phrasing.
I love everything David Oistrakh plays - he's just my favourite - Greatest of the Greats of all time
Thank you sooo much for uploading this. Thank God music is what brings us all together.
The conductor gives Oistrakh "the eyes" at :52.

there is nothing like oistrach playing tcahikovsky
Oistrakh owns this piece
Milstein comes very close though
he makes it look so difficult to play with all his crazy expressional techniques...
i like it :D
A true master. And a masterful performance.
speachless.
pleasantly surprised by the audio quality!

This now becomes my favorite version! So moved! Thanks for uploading this.
He paints this concerto, gives it light and shade and depth and OMG - now I can hear why my Dad (a violinist) was so crazy about Oistrakh.
I'm too crazy about Oistrakh ❤
BRAVO !!!!!!!

Oistrakh had such a wonderful freedom in his neck when he played....and his abdominal core was like the Rock of Gibralter!
Just impeccable.
