Ukraine-born virtuoso David Oistrakh was one of the greatest violinist of all times, and a growing number of listeners are discovering his dazzling artistry.
Oistrakh was particularly praised for his Mozart recordings – full-blooded, grand performances which nevertheless reveal the legendary Viennese composer’s charm and wit.
Alto Records is pleased to release three of Oistrakh’s finest recordings of Mozart from the Soviet era, joined by violist-conductor Rudolf Barshai in the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola and the Violin Concerto No. 3 and legendary maestro Krill Kondrashin in a thrilling recording of Mozart’s masterful first concerto for the violin.
