Great Brahms, Rare Mendelssohn
Michael B. Richman | Portland, Maine USA | 07/16/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This title from the "Masters of the Violin" series on Classica D'Oro/Allegro features terrific performances of the Brahms and Mendelssohn Violin Concertos by the great David Oistrakh with Kiril Kondrashin conducting the USSR Symphony Orchestra. The sound however is less than desirable as these are mono recordings from 1949 (Mendelssohn) and 1950 (Brahms). If you want to hear Oistrakh tackle the Brahms VC in stereo, there is a live recording with Kondrashin from 1963, available on RCA's "The Essential David Oistrakh." Or, there are his two recordings for EMI, one with Otto Klemperer from 1960 and the other with George Szell from 1969 (see my review of the latter). However, performances of Oistrakh doing the Mendelssohn are rarer, and this is the best currently available to my knowledge."
