“A first-class recording helps this Concerto into a winner; that, with Oistrakh’s first-class performance. His technical wizardry can be taken for granted, but here is too, some unbending towards the warm romanticism the work requires … all these virtues result in an unhesitating recommendation”. (Fantasia) “The performance is superlative … The recordings have satisfying balance between soloist and orchestra, and both are excellent.”
