MENDELSSOHN: Violin Concerto in E minor

MOZART: Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major

BACH: Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major

 

David Oistrakh - violin

The Philadelphia Orchestra / Eugene Ormandy

 

Recorded 24th December 1955

 

This is the first CD release outside Japan of this sensational recording featuring renowned violin virtuoso David Oistrakh with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy.

 

In these classic recordings from 1955, Oistrakh performs the perennial classic Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, beautifully offset by Bach’s lyrical second Concerto and Mozart’s ebullient Fourth.

 

All three works showcase what Gramophone describe as Oistrakh’s distinctive “composure, interpretative finesse, velvety tone and highly sophisticated musicianship.”
