David Oistrakh (1908-74) was without a doubt one of the greatest violinists and has his place in musical history among other legends of the instrument such as Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, Yehudi Menuhin and Isaac Stern. He was also the most renowned Soviet violinist. His recordings were global hits and remain milestones of the catalog. Oistrakh is famed for the fullness of his tone, his unequaled sense of legato, a warm, powerful and deep sound, his incredible mastery of the bow, and an immediately recognizable sonority. This 3-CD box includes some of the most beloved works for solo violin, including the concertos of Beethoven and Brahms, Franck’s Sonata in A major and Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole.
