On 24 October 2024, we will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of the death of David Oistrakh.

David Oistrakh (1908-1974), renowned for the fullness of his tone, his unparalleled sense of legato, his warm, powerful, and deep sound, his incredible mastery of the bow, and a sonority that is immediately recognizable, is undoubtedly one of the greatest violinists of all time. His recordings have been celebrated worldwide and continue to be milestones in the discography of classical music. This double vinyl album features some of his finest recordings, including a magnificent rendition of the Beethoven Violin Concerto with André Cluytens, a moment of pure poetry. It also includes the Kreutzer Sonata with his legendary partner Lev Oborin, and a selection of encores with Vladimir Yampolsky. The entire programme benefits from a new high-definition remastering from the original tapes, ensuring that the brilliance of Oistrakh's artistry is preserved and enhanced for contemporary listeners.
