*** Collection of David Oistrakh's performances on 5 CDs from MELODIYA ***

This set collects performances of various vintages and sonic quality from the former Soviet Melodiya label. The range and beauty of pieces and performance quality in this set is unparalleled, making it, in my opinion, the single most rewarding introduction to great 19th and 20th century violin reperatory currently available. Perhaps the great accomplishment in playing an instrument is to play it naturally, as if it were like breathing. Few artists prove this point as well as Oistrakh, the Soviet Union's artist, a true symbol of the Russian's school of music's excellence.

To have in a single moderately-priced set the Brahms, Dvorak, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky concerti, along with the Bartok, Brahms, Franck and Shostakovich sonatas, is itself wonderful. But every single performance is among the best in the catalogue. The violinist Oistrakh's intelligence and emotive nature are on display everywhere. Considering the fact that people didn't walk out of his performance of the pieces while a bombing raid was going on (during WWII), the man's musical prowess is second to none. The partnership with the great Sviatoslav Richter on the two sonata CDs is remarkable. If you have even the slightest interest about classical music for the violin, do yourself a favor and snap up this set.
