CD ReviewsA feast of violin virtuosity R. Hutchinson | a world ruled by fossil fuels and fossil minds | 03/01/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "What a tone! David Oistrakh was a virtuoso, of that there is no doubt. What makes his playing stand apart, though, is his rich, full, round tone. Oistrakh does not draw attention to his technical skill, he draws attention to the music.
These duets, with Vladimir Yampolsky on piano, were recorded at Abbey Road in London in early 1956, and first released by EMI in 1957. It's a fine set of "showpieces," beginning with Tartini's sonata in G minor, "The Devil's Trill." Slow lyrical numbers like Debussy's "Clair de lune" and Ysaye's "Extase" are interspersed with livelier numbers such as de Falla's "Siete canciones populares espanolas" and Koday's "Three Hungarian Folk-dances." This is an easy recommendation for anyone who loves great violin music, another truly "Great Recording of the Century" from the EMI vaults." |
