great to see people still watching this. We are now 2022, troubled times again... but this man, who looks like a KGB killer and becomes a magician when he takes his strad, expresses so much sentiment, power, delicacy, lyricism... just gives me hope for ages. Because he too lived in - much more - troubled times. And used music to get people through it. I can feel this in his playing too...
His main instrument was a Strad called the "Marsick." He played on other Strads owned by the Soviet Union. In a documentary, they said it's not the greatest Strad--it's what he did with it. Beyond genius.
(Sorry to kick an old comment. Just felt like adding this) Apparently there were a few Strads called or named after Marsick. The "active" one is made very clear by its (current) owner, James Ehnes, that it is *not* the same as the one played by David Oistrakh, tho it was still formerly owned by Marsick. But to think Oistrakh played an instrument from 1705 is amazing.
Actually, a great number of Oistrakh's recordings were played on the Conte Fontana Stradivari, which he later came to regret parting with when he switched to the Marsick.
Black and White thinkers like you are not in the Position to argue over two of the greatest violinists in history. You better think twice next time before writing bullsh*t like this on UA-cam.
Tous excellents violonistes Heifetz, Oistrakh, Milstein, Ginette Neveu, Stern, Menuhin, Anne Sophie Mutter, Arabella Steinbecher, Hilary Hahn, Julia Fisher…
We have a wonderful crop of modern violinists, but, Oistrakh remains very special. His left hand is balletic and so precise. This is a super clip thank you for posting.
Oistrakh was a friend and great admirer of Menuhin. I have heard them in the flesh as well as Milstein and Ricci. All outstanding in different ways. Kreisler was a great and legendary violinist admired by most other violinists. These are just a few that spring to mind. There are of course others as well.
Coincido y reafirmo tu opinión, che bachiana; David Oistrakh ha sido mi ídolo violinístico desde mi más tierna infancia en los años de la década de 1949-1959. Los que ponen que no les gusta lo hacen por ignorancia musical y falta de sensibilidad; (aunque no descarto que algunos lo hagan por despistados ante el ordenador, pensando que le están dando al «me gusta»).
Puede o no estar de acuerdo, incluso no gustarle, pero ya me gustaría a mi tocar para un día de fiesta como cualquiera de estos grandes. A ver si el puede. Así que ese comentario me lo reservaría.
@SickForest Outstandingly well-accompanied. Yet, in Soviet times, so often, even though the duo partnerships were equal in score and the performance, the pianists were paid less, as they were not the star! I saw D.O; son, playing Beethoven sonatas...I think, with Nickolaievna (the spelling is wrong, I know) her pedalling was amazing, quarter and half pedal...magical!!
What most surprise me about those guys Oistrakh, Szering, Milstein is that they were happy and cool person. They seems to have fun on there playing video but when they dont play they are just like im happy i like it that way and that made me feel good because in 13 years of violin ive met people not so nice and they were musician, Nearly "shitting" over the head of those who paid to see them. That made me feel good!
i agree, heifetz and him are definitely at the top. it's a matter of preference for the most part, but for all that is holy, he is a master. Heifetz, i think, has a bit of a jazz influence to him, which is nice, but he tends to come off a little stiff. In comparison, Oistrakh is so free as to be almost melodramatic, which can be refreshing, depending on the piece. sorry to prate on! I just love them both!
Oistrakh, Heifetz, Stern and Szering were wonderful, I love their recordings as much as anyone, but that was then, and this is now. We have a new generation of fantastic young violinists coming up. Is it impossible for them to stand equal alongside these legends ? Zaldidun - what do you think of James Ehnes's recent unaccompanied Bach ? - I'd be interested to know your opinion.
Many people would disagree with you. Oistrakh has come to be appreciated more in recent years, and was certainly one of the finest violinists of his time or probably any time, but the common view is still that Heifetz was or is the greatest. His recording of the Korngold concerto (just one example) is outstanding. To say he always sounds like Heifetz is more of a compliment than you realize! He was truly inimitable!
Oistrakh, what more can you say? At the level of a Milstein, Ricci, Heifetz, Szeryng, etc, etc it is all about preference. I will say, however, that Szeryng has never disappointed, whether Bach or Brahms. This is an incredible consistency about his playing that some unfairly call bland.
WILL SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE THE MAKER OF THE INSTRUMENT HE IS PLAYING ? I AM NOT SURE IT IS A STRAD, BUT I LIKE THE VOICE OF THIS VIOLIN VERY MUCH. VERY BIG VOICE, VERY LYRICAL SOUND. LOVE THE TIMBRE !
it is funny you are the only one that has noticed this. (obviously a violinist) I am watching this for the first time. I think it is a Capicchioni? I have read he owned one. I play one that is why is caught my hear. could be the son's violin because of the varnish color. He is fantastic.. i love these youtube of him
Actually in this video Oistrakh is playing the Marsick Stradivari, as by then he had parted with his beloved Conte Fontana Stradivari, a move he later came to regret.
I hope you will develope a better sense for violin playing, so you don't compare violin gigants like in a Sport tournament. And heifetz soulless? You can ask every big violin solist of current times and you will earn the same ridicule like you get from my site
Artur Korotin For me, it’s a musical manifestation of Romeo trying to smile through his tears-and this piece also happened to take place in the period of silent film. In the dance of the ballet, Romeo is dancing with Juliet even though her body is completely limp from the potion she drank. It’s one of the most bittersweet moments in all of ballet, and music in general.
@pviola314 i get exactly what your saying! i jsut sence so much more emotion from this mans playing compared to heifetz. aside from the fact they play completely different
OUT OF THIS WORLD............ Notice the LACK of pained, emoting facial expressions that the younger generation does now when playing even a simple SCALE....let the music emote....not YOU.

@@user-il8ne5qb7v haha ! None of course, just influenced by Hollywood imagery I guess ;-)

Like S.Prokofiev & others --they'd live DISPITE the situation, they 'd living and playing...
Now I can truly believe that Juliet is really dead.

What a heavenly player. I heard him in London and there has never been anyone like him. The man was also a wonderful humble person.
Heifetz was a technician. He always sounds like Heifetz. Oistrakh sounds like the composer he is playing. He is in a league beyond others.
Nice tribute.
Oy vey, another Heifetz hater.
he is still unmatched.

The scene played out in my mind, perfectly. With the sights, scent, atmosphere, heartbeats, and lack of heartbeat.
That’s wonderful! Is this your favorite song?
Ahhh his sound just has a soul of its own :0
It surely does.
Brings a tear to my eye.
Oistrakh is the greatest violininst.
Thank you!

I hardly can find something better than this...!
This is beyond words.
Such a wonderful piece, truly breathtaking!
Great for ever Master Oistrakh

The best !! wonderful .....
The opening of this section of the ballet music is very reminiscent of the opening of Prokoviev's First Violin Sonata [with piano].
hauntingly beautiful
SILENT! Listen to the Master.
thanks for the upload!
Gorgeous...so passionate.
Nd told me this when i was a teenager…..Nadian one of the best ever
What a character!!!
this is a transposition from the epilogue to the ballet, not the actual scene entitled "death of juliet."
Superb.
maladecz super
EXCELENTE!!!
Man created this.
The Violin God.
ABSOLUTELY! He has been my violinistic god for almost 70 years.
excelente
That..was..edifying
Bravo
i always loved nadja solerno sonnenberg - she's a little whacky, to be frank, but certainly gives a whole new meaning to the term "liberty."
bello
bravooo
The music is pretty good, too.
I agree! I was referring to the comment that Heifetz always sounds like Heifetz.
I do agree!

@Zaldidun there is a warmth to his playing i don't get from heifetz. it's just taste though
wow
why is this half step sharp?
its like he just came back after working
When was this recorded?
Oistrakh in performance (see Amazon)
anyone know offhand where one can get the sheet music for this transcription? don't see it on SHAR or patelson's and a quick google search didn't help
are you still looking, twelve years later?
@@shobarsch I at least certainly am! Would you be able to send me a copy of this transcription?
Does anyone knows where can I find the sheet music of this piece?

@FISTRIG It was made by Stradivari in 1671.
More soul than Heifetz, more emotionally nuanced and sensitive, though you can't argue with the technical skill of Heifetz.
Better stay off the comment fraction next time, I beg you

it's spelled magnificent.
what I want to know is who is playin the peanna
It is "piano" you idiot
+Suzana Corritori peena waht?
wtf don't be a dick
As you can read in the description, Frida Bauer, a friend anf frequent accompanist of David Oistrakh. plays the piano part.
wrong title
@pelajava hahahaha but beautiful playing, no?
Queen Elizabeth 2 on piano.
LOL ! :-D
@pc20021050 Prokofiev
4:30 slight fail, but very emotional rendition. brilliant.
LordMgls Congrats on your unreal stupidity to call that a fail! It is next to nothing. The whole thing is unearthly beautiful and touching.
No, the film is too slow (they wouldn't tune the piano down, not even for Prokofieff... ;-) )
maybe...has she been a good girl >[

:) no! you are not right.
he looks very angry...
My definition to the sound of oistrack is "vitamin avocado with chocolate."
Do you agree?
He is so spellbindingly delicious. I just love every inch of him.
Smooth but with a strong and delicious flavor.
@AtelierDeViolino wtf??? haha ur weird!
no i disagree, 10* :-)
oistrakh doesn't sound at all like heifetz
So? :)
muslit who cares
Don't forget Henryk Szering
