David Oistrakh Plays Beethoven

First winner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth competition (in 1937), dedicatee of some of the greatest Russian violin pieces, relentless ambassador of the Soviet culture: David Oistrakh has written his name at the pantheon of violinists. This collection devoted to Beethoven includes his greatest successes for Columbia and His Master’s Voice, notably the concerto recorded with André Cluytens, the triple concerto with Malcolm Sargent, and chamber pieces with Lev Oborin, Vladimir Yampolsky or Sviatoslav Knushevitsky.
