The excerpts played before 1952 were more straightforward than the later ones plus the sound quality improves so of course he's going to sound better later on. He passed too young, RIP Mr Oistrakh. ❤
After his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1917, all other violinists were overshadowed by Heifetz. He was virtually unchallenged before the 1950s. Unfortunately, after that, his quality started to deteriorate comparing to his prime period, but he still remained Heifetz.
@@vladimirdyo7301 I disagree. I even prefer Heifetz's second recording of the Glazunov, recorded at the age of 62, to his earlier one. And Heifetz knew when to stop playing in public. This film of Oistrakh, clearly shows the rise and the decline (Brahms) of his playing, as can be expected after such a long career. Even great violinists are mere mortals
It's interesting to hear Oistrakh play the Intermezzo from Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole, which, in his time, was excluded from most violinists' performances of the piece in order to make it more like a standard symphony with four movements.
El Legendario Violinista David Oistrakh , mostró en cada etapa un brillante y excelente estilo , con un Magistral dominio del instrumento , mostrando en cada ejecución una Maestria de Excelencia , siendo hasta el final de sus día un Violinista Excepcional .
I think this proves that it’s possible to keep your playing up to a high standard in one’s later years but I expect Oistrakh still had a disciplined practice regime. As one ages hopefully musical intelligence increases and one becomes more ‘seasoned’, also with better healthcare and better knowledge of nutrition and fitness it’s probably possible to play to a high level well into your 70s. That said Oistrakh was an exceptional player - one of a kind.
Early Oistrakh (1935-37) was a master of miniatures. There is a 1938 recording of Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto, but it is not even close to his late interpretations, though technically impeccable. Later Oistrakh is a philosopher and architect. His playing was so grand that he was nicknamed “King David”.
@@vladimirdyo7301 I love his late playing as well, but to me his early recording have a sense of detail and intimacy that is sometimes lost (or less pronounced) in his later recordings... I prefer his first recording of the 1st Prokofiev concerto over the second one, for instance.
If there is such a thing as kindness and love being expressed by a violinist then David is the epitome.

I love his playing much more than Heifetz's
Oui ❤❤
No
No body fucking cares😂
Perhaps the only violinist who played better with age.
...Milstein?
@@jeanparke9373 Milstein, oh yes, and he was already great since his youth, comparing to Oistrakh whose international career flourished only after WW2
Heifetz?

The same young soul feeled in the sound of 1935 and 1972.
He was the best of all!
His violin playing at 0.47 is absolutely stupendous, and that decending scale run, has never been played better. Wonderful player.
Sur quel violon jouait il ??Le son avec les ans était vraiment excellent !!❤
Владимир, спасибо! Ойстраха мало не бывает. Люблю его!
Idea stupenda questao magnifico riassunto . GRAZIE !
Great video, thanks for putting it together.

The soul never changed.
His bow usage is perfect

Can some one please give me the names of the 1953 and 52's pieces?
I liked the 53 one.
1952 - Mazurka by Zarzycki, 1953 - Intermezzo by Lalo from Symphonie Espagnole
Thank you@@vladimirdyo7301
Would you elaborate a bit more what do you mean by "transformation"?

Что? Гарретт сам бы был удивлён Вашим сравнением.
Всё толще и толще с каждым годом ))
Вы ошиблись адресом.Пивной ларёк в другом месте.
goat
I love how his face got rounder year by year. Shows that he's getting more wealthy with his career 😂
Is there a full video of him playing Lalo?
It’s a good question, on my DVD produced by EMI there is only an excerpt of Lalo (unfortunately).
What is the 1937 piece?
Love's Sorrow by Fritz Kreisler (also called "Liebesleid")
