Aram Khachaturian, Sergei Prokofiev, Karol Szymanowski, Karen Khachaturian
Featured artists:
Masters at work! Aram Khachaturian conducts his own violin concerto, a piece of great lyricism and virtuosity dedicated to and premiered in 1940 by David Oistrakh, with whom he is sharing an evident complicity. By far the most acclaimed version of this work. It is coupled with major modern chamber pieces with Oistrakh’s favorite partner Vladimir Yampolsky: Prokofiev, Szymanowski, and Karen Khachaturian, nephew of Aram.
