Although he was certainly influenced musically by his legendary father David Oistrakh early on, Igor developed his own handwriting as a young musician - as brilliant as he was passionate and virtuoso. The cultural functionaries of the Soviet Union allowed the young musician to appear in western countries even before his father enjoyed this privilege. Thus young Oistrakh - who was already enthusiastically celebrated in the eastern bloc countries started a remarkable international career in the 1950s. This box-set with 12 original albums from the years 1954 to 1962 (+ bonus material) contains important recordings of his concert repertoire from his best years with works by Bartok, Khatchaturian, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, Rakov, Bruch, Mendelssohn and others. It not only shows a highly interesting soloist and chamber musician, but also honors this unique \"stroke of luck in the history of violin playing\", the duo David and Igor Oistrakh which was celebrated for a quarter-century, with some of their famous recordings. Bach's Concerto in D minor for two violins, BWV 1043 is included here as are Vivaldi's Double Concerto, Wieniawski's Caprices, Sonatas by Benda and Bach. For direct comparison, check out the the two Beethoven romances on offer here, recorded by the father in 1961 and five years earlier by the son. Franz Konwitschny, Eugene Goossens, Gennady Rhozhdestvensky, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Berlin and many more are also featured on these recordings. Also featuring Franz Konwitschny, Eugene Goossens, Gennady Rhozhdestvensky, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Berlin and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_with_lines_e897c5b3-cbb9-47bd-af7f-a94d899d8348_480x480.png?v=1620592134\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003eKhachaturian: Violin Concerto\u003cbr\u003econducted by Eugene Goossen, Philharmonia Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1953, London (Colombia Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandel: Trio Sonata Op.2-6\u003cbr\u003eDavid Oistrakh (Vln) Vladimir Janporsky (pf)\u003cbr\u003e1957, Leipzig (German Eterna Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 2\u003cbr\u003eJS Bach: Violin Concerto BWV.1052\u003cbr\u003eFranz Convitny Conductor, Staatscapelle Berlin\u003cbr\u003e1958, Berlin (German Eterna Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarasate: Navarra Op.33\u003cbr\u003eDavid Oistrakh (Vln)\u003cbr\u003eFranz・ Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, conducted by Convitny,\u003cbr\u003e1957, Leipzig (Eterna Master, Germany)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWieniawski: Etude Caprice Op.18, 2nd, 5th, 4th\u003cbr\u003eDavid Oistrakh (Vln)\u003cbr\u003e1957, Berlin ( Vln) German Eterna Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 3\u003cbr\u003eTchaikovsky: Violin Concerto Op.35\u003cbr\u003eSaint-Saens: Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso Op.28\u003cbr\u003eWilhelm Schhitter Conductor, Pro Arte Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1957, London (English Columbia Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 4\u003cbr\u003eBeethoven: Violin Concerto Op.61\u003cbr\u003eWilhelm Schüchter Conductor, Pro Arte Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1956, London (Columbia Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 5\u003cbr\u003eJS Bach: Unaccompanied Violin Sonata BWV.1001\u003cbr\u003eVitali: Chaconne\u003cbr\u003eMozart (Chrysler Edition): \"Rondo\" from Serenade No. 7 K.250 \"Rondo\"\u003cbr\u003eAbram Makarov (pf)\u003cbr\u003e1954, recording location unknown (German opera master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJS Bach: Trio Sonata BWV.1037\u003cbr\u003eDavid Oistruff (Vln) Hans Pishner (Harpsichord)\u003cbr\u003e1957, Dresden (German Gramophone Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 6\u003cbr\u003eJS Bach: Violin Concerto No. 2 BWV.1042\u003cbr\u003eBeethoven: Romance No. 1, No. 2\u003cbr\u003eFranz Schüchny Conductor, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1956 Year, Leipzig (German Eterna Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeethoven: Romance Nos. 1 and 2\u003cbr\u003eDavid Oistrakh (Vln)\u003cbr\u003eConducted by Eugene Goosen, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1961, London (German Gramophone Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 7\u003cbr\u003eNikolai Rakov (1908-1990): Violin Concerto in E minor\u003cbr\u003eNikolai Rakov Conductor, Moscow Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra,\u003cbr\u003e1955, Moscow (Russian Melodia Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkriabin: 12 Practice Songs Op.8 No. 11\u003cbr\u003eKhachaturian: Poem \"Ashgus Glory\" Op.19\u003cbr\u003eRakov: Poem in E minor\u003cbr\u003eKreisler : Grave\u003cbr\u003eMozart in Bach style (Kreisler edition): \"Rondo\" from Serenade No. 7 K.250\u003cbr\u003eInna Koregorskaya (pf)\u003cbr\u003e1955, recording location unknown (Russian melody master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 8\u003cbr\u003eGeorg Bender (1722) -1795): Trio Sonata in E major,\u003cbr\u003eDavid Oistruff (Vln) Vladimir Janpolsky (pf)\u003cbr\u003e1957, Leipzig (German Eterna Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruch: Violin Concerto No. 1\u003cbr\u003eDavid Eustrav Conductor, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1961, London (German Gramophone Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 9\u003cbr\u003eBartok: Violin Concerto No. 2\u003cbr\u003eGennaji Rogestvensky Conductor, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1960, Moscow (Russian Melodia Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVivaldi: Inspiration of Harmony Op.3-8\u003cbr\u003eDavid・ Oistruff (Vln, Conductor) Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1961, London (German Gramophone Master)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 10\u003cbr\u003eMendelssohn: Violin Concerto Op.64\u003cbr\u003eViolin Concerto No. 2\u003cbr\u003eFranz Konwitschny Conductor, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e1956, Leipzig (German Eterna Master)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOCUMENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39599512387780,"sku":"4053796005182","price":26.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/71XoY-bO_2BIL._SL1000.jpg?v=1620906483","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/de-de\/products\/oistrach-igor-milestones-of-a-violin-legend","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
