About

David Oistrakh’s 1967 performance of Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No.2 with Eugene Ormandy conducting the London Symphony Orchestra was the Western European Premiere of the work. This is a major historical document.

Since this was a Gala concert in aid of the LSO Trust, the Shostakovich performance was preceded by a Fanfare composed by Arthur Bliss and this has also been included on the CD.

The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto from 1972, a work very much associated David Oistrakh, was performed during a Russian Festival in London’s Royal Albert Hall and is conducted by Maxim Shostakovich, the composer’s son.  This makes a great combination.

Both recordings are in very good stereo and David Oistrakh’s playing is sensational.
