I knew that David Oistrakh had said that he wanted to become a conductor - when I heard and saw him in this, I couldn't believe it - he really is one of the best conductors! And, of course, all since I first heard him, he has been also my favourite violinist - King of Violinists, Greatest of the Greats of all time...
Yes - so grateful to be able to hear and see this very greatest violinist - the greatest of the greats - and wonderful conductor. Also hear him and his son Igor in Mozart's Sinfonietta concertante: Mozart - Sinfonietta concertante - Oistrakh/Oistrakh/Vienna. David Oistrakh plays the alto, his son the violin, and David Oistrakh also lconducts the orchestra. The very best recording of this concerto...
Muchísimas gracias por este vídeo tan excepcional que nos permite ver al gran violinista David Oistrak dirigiendo una orquesta y además una Gran Sinfonía nada menos que de BRAHMS... Ojalá comparta Vd más vídeos de estos grandes intérpretes del pasado y también del presente. Un abrazo desde España. 🇪🇸🎵🎶🎻🎺🌈🙋🏻♂️😊👍❤️ Ah! y a ser posible, en vez de pequeños fragmentos, OBRAS COMPLETAS. Muchas gracias. otra vez.
Comparto desde España el mismo y gran agradecimiento. Me conmueve y emociona ver dirigir "al gran padre de los violinistas, maestro por excelencia" Disfrutar todos con esta magnifica sinfonia es maravilloso.
I have a special love of the opening movement of this symphony. The whole thing is just perfection. Didn't know Oistrakh conducted. Grew up listening to his recordings of Tckaikovsky and Brahms concertos.
In addition to other answers: He conducted and played the viola (his son Igor on violin) in Mozart Sinfonia concertante - Oistrakh/Oistrakh/Vienna (on RUclips: incontrario motu) - exceptional recording, especially the Andante (2nd mvt) is unlike all other versions, also those with these soloists, but other conductors.
Just goes to show that if you are a great musician you are also a great conductor. David Oistrakh was a supreme virtuoso violinist, but above all a wonderful musician. He was a humble man with none of the conceit of many soloists and conductors, a true genius! Thank you very much for posting this priceless video.
Have you read what I've said about him? Those are some of my words - but "joke" aside! Seriously - apart from being the greatest of the great violinists of all times, I admire him also because of the person he was: modest, unpretentious and kindhearted - said to have had a Golden Heart, also: " To hear him and to see him, is to love him" - True!
@@MrTann2010 Listen to the most fascinating of all Mozart's violin concertos, the "Turkish", where David Oistrakh again proves his excellency: Mozart "violin concerto 5" David Oistrakh 1963 (RUclips: Addiobelpassato)
Herbert von Karajan conducted this symphony equally well, but I can't stand watching it. He conducted in a demanding way, whereas David Oistrakh embraces the whole orchestra - like saying: let's do this together - and he and the orchestra did it. My admiration of him is great: as conductor, King of Violinists - greatest of the greats of all times - and as the person he was: human, modest, unpretentious and kindhearted; said to have had a Golden Heart.
Wow..una rareza,desconocía que este tremendo violinista se dedicase a labores de director de orquesta,ignoro si esto fue algo corriente o esta es una presentación excepcional,conozco a Oistraj solo en su faceta solista,la cual es excepcional...gran hallazgo....saludos
This is wonderful... David Oistrakh also conducts Mozart - Sinfonia concertante - Oistrakh/Oistrakh/Vienna. Here he plays the viola part, and his son Igor the violin. The very best recording of this concerto...
That was my reaction - wonderful!!! At the same concert (I believe -68/69) in Leipzig, David Oistrakh also conducted an ouverture of Webern, and a violin concerto (also playing the violin solo) - * Mozart - Violin concerto No. 4. K218 (Classical Vault). What an extraordinary strength and ability to perform all these at one and the same concert - and not a missed note - and with such bravura !!!!
Great Maestro - all music in his beautiful soul - LOVABLE!
I cannot believe my favorite violinist conducted an orchestra! Thanks for uploading this precious footage!
Enjoy!

Such a great conductor and violinist.
...and with what minimalist grace he conducts...
Il grande Oistrakh !
Brahms was a genius. Such a flowing melody in his works, gives me goosebumps every time.
Don't you think that David Oistrakh also was a genius? This interpretation is one of the proofs - like all other music he plays and/or conducts.
The consummate musician. A brilliantly conducted Brahms 2.
Thank you Nak Dontree for this symphony too !
Great violinist, great conductor! Thanks a lot für this performance!

Great David Oistrakh ❤
Thank your for ur sharing, first time to hear and watch this condutor here. He may be the important conductor in that era.
In case you haven't heard of him yet, David Oistrakh is also a very famed violinist and some considered him to be the "greatest".
Brahms, nothing needs to be said, but Oistrakh, a master of the violin shows another side. fabulous performance.
Yes - simply fabulous....

Oistrakh conducted quite a lot in the last 10 years of his life, both in the USSR and abroad. Brahms was one of his absolute favorite composers.
@@nakdontree3784 Never saw recordings with Oistrakh conducting.

Beautiful stick technique - precise and yet wonderfully fluid.

That’s not true. I’ve seen excellent instrumentalists/vocalists turn out to be terrible conductors. Oistrakh is however, excellent at both
@@MrTann2010Yes, right - like always - and in everything he does - Greatest of tha Great violinists, The King....
@@MrTann2010 Listen to the most fascinating of all Mozart's violin concertos, the "Turkish", where David Oistrakh again proves his excellency:

Zseniális!
Gratidão, pelos belíssimos trabalhos de harmonia e paz!
a wonderful surprise!
I love this Piece
Thank you so much for uploading!
Deo gratias !!
Yes, David Oistrakh was Godsent...
David Oistrakh was a very great conductor...better than any living conductor today....

Raritet!
Whis that rending of person, like conductor D.O, J.Brahms contented smiling.
Wow, actually not April's Fool
东德时期的视频,还是老奥德指挥,更是稀有,感谢分享。
只有历史记录价值,没有什么艺术价值,乐团的水平实在是无法可说,尤其是铜管部分。
Wow, I don't know he can also conduct!
This is wonderful... David Oistrakh also conducts Mozart - Sinfonia concertante - Oistrakh/Oistrakh/Vienna. Here he plays the viola part, and his son Igor the violin. The very best recording of this concerto...
Whhaaaaaaaattttt?????!!!!

First part - that's Spring ❤
Yo adoro brahms tal vez como los egipcios a sus dioses
The only woman on that stage was the flower lady!
