Clean, strong top class playing, where the geniality of the player comes from the forceful emergence of Beethoven's spirit and not from added personal inflections. By the way, the pianist... is Oborin.
Oborin's great musical partnership with Oistrakh stretched from 1935 well into the 1970s : and from 1940 the two, with cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky, formed one of the great piano trios. This is simply wonderful.
This is one of the most beautiful inicial themes written by Beethoven. Like Stephanie Huynh says below, it's like a flower blooming in the springtime. And Oistrakh plays it perfectly, delicate, slowly as it should be, every note with its real value, without rushing.
Absolutely number one interpretation! I can still remember it from my childhood, since the vinyl record was distributed in Poland in roundabout 70th of the last century..
Such a nice interpretation, and the stereo is giving me the violin on my right ear and the piano on the left. Thanks for posting this timeless jewel, a balm for my ears and my soul.
So true. I just listened to Anne Sophie Mutter playing the same piece, and I couldn't stand it for two minutes. Oistrakh is so much better. Such precision!
this is one of my favourites on violin, it's such a beautiful song with loads of contrast! I played the Allegro movement for my As level practical and got an A, it's such a beautiful song to learn and it fills me with joy to listen to :)
It's the same wonderful Oistrakh violin, in this Beethoven sonata with piano, as you hear in recording's of David Oistrakh playing major orchestral concertos for solo violin. Players of all ages can learn from this marvelous balancing of violin voicings in all musical formats and configurations!
Beethoven sits comfortably on top of the composers' Everest and shares with Shakespeare and Rembrandt the three peaks of the artistic super powers. As for those who dislike this, one can only pity them. What a massive slice of the glory of being alive they are missing.
These ten sonatas of Beethoven are in truth really more PIANO pieces with violin accompaniment than the other way 'round. It's idiotic for the violinist's name to appear often without even MENTIONING the pianist. This is, indeed, a great performance, but if you listened to ten or twelve other versions, you would find there is no such thing as THE greatest. All who have recorded these pieces have something wonderful to offer, although I agree with those who find Anne Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orris's heavy distortions through excessive use of rubato and frequent tempo changes to be highly objectionable. Often in their work the phrasings seems MUTILATED, Anne's beautiful gone notwithstanding. Mutter has deteriorated badly since Von Karan died. HE was the guiding genius behind her success.
I would disagree that this is piano piece with violin accompaniment, and I would also disagree if you would have said that it were a violin piece with piano accompaniment. However, assuming you were just defending the common misconception that Beethoven's sonatas are violin sonatas with a piano accompaniment, I agree. I have heard them many times, and I have to agree that both a mediocre violinist and pianist ruin the piece equally, meaning that to play it really well, one needs not only a violinist such as Oistrakh, but also pianist of the same level of playing, and even more importantly proper balance and communication between the artists, imagine what it would be like combining two separate recordings of a pianist and violinist playing the same sonata, it would be terrible, whereas with pieces where there is an obvious accompaniment, this can be done (and has been done). The correct way to put it is that Beethoven wrote these sonatas for violin and piano, which is precisely what the title of the sonatas implies. Anyway, Cheers.
Excellent interpretation due in large part to the immaculate timing. Although others such as Szeryng or Mutter produce a warmer timbre that lends itself better to this piece, Oistrakh is not misled by thoughts of Rubato (Mutter) and waits for each note to arrive naturally rather than hurries them along (Szeryng). The end result is first class and sets the benchmark for this marvellous work.
You are right about Mutter's rubato and Szeryng's hurring. I wrote my comment (see above) before reading yours and you can see that I agree with you when you say that Oistrak "waits for each note yo arrive naturally".
AMEN! But listen also to Kempff-Menhuin, Serkin-Busch, Claude Frank and Pamela Frank, Lili Kraus and Wlli Boskovsky, and several others each wonderful in its own way.
i think Mutter's version has too much vibrato, like too much sugar added that the piece is over-sweetened... i think Elman's version is also most beautiful, someone uploaded a 1955 version :)
Tank you very much for sharing this beautiful peace from Ludvig Van Beethoven, born in Belgium a Aix La Chapelle, ostrak en borodin was a great duo , merci beaucoup
Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, although his ancestors from the fathers side were originally from Mechelen (now Belgium) which at the time was part of the 'Austrian Netherlands'
The Oistrakh - Oberin combination reached a level of divinity. You cannot add or take out anything from it. In this Paris recording, Oberin played a critical role in holding the thing together like an architect. No other pianists playing this piece can do that. I mention this because Oberin's role is often overlooked. Interestingly, when Oistrakh and Richter formed a partnership in Beethoven/Brahms sonata series in 1970, they did not perform this piece, except for the brief movement III as an encore when they were in New York's Avery Fisher Hall. Obviously, they considered playing this piece so they practiced it, but finally decided to scrap the plan. I think that's a wise decision, and they paid respect to Oberin by not playing this piece. Or you can honor someone by playing it. In 1975.10.27, Moscow Conservatory's Bolshoi Hall held a concert honoring David Oistrakh. In this concert, Richter finally got his wish to play the spring sonata, but with the young violinist Oleg Kagan. It's a very fine reading with much better acoustic quality, but not comparable to this one in artistic aspects. What Richter never expected was that he was to outlive both Oistrakh and Kagan by many years. That's fate. A few years after the death of David Oistrakh, his son Igor praised his father for being loyal to his old partner Oberin by only reluctantly played with Richter. It seems that Igor never realize how critical a role Oberin play in this duo as well as in the so-called Oistrakh Trio. Richter is my favorite solo pianist, but he cannot play the role of Oberin in chamber music.
the 29 people that disliked this clearly don't have a pulse. This is about as good as it gets for me and I've been playing this piece for the last year for my diploma exam.
This is the best interpretation of Beethovens Spring Sonata Opus 24, that I have yet heard. In my opinion, it beats my earlier favourit, Adolf Busch (v) and Rudolf Serkin (p) in a recording from 1933.
This is one of the best compositions better written by mankind and played by one of the best artists. I was able to listen to this sonata and more music like this on the radio before I emigrated to this country 38 years ago. Thanks to the internet I am able to enjoy this kind of music again. For some reason NPR have been playing mostly the most boring classical music. Makes me wonder what their real intentions are.
David and Leo were geniuses, colleges and friends until Leo’s death.Btw the sound of Stradivari in Davids hands is unmatched, and Steinway produces such tender sounds- to match.
David Oistrakh made recordings for the Russian State classical music label, Melodiya. These recordings were marketing in the west under EMI Records, mainly on the Columbia Label and in the U.S. under Angel Records. Additionally, he made a few guest recordings with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of Eugene Ormandy. These were issued in US by Columbia Records. Exceptionally, during 1962, Oistrakh in a duo with the pianist Lev Oborine, recorded the complete cycle of Beethoven's violin and piano Sonatas for the Philips label, which were pressed on the Very first Philips Hi-Fi Stereo Anamorphic Plum Label. Many of the Melodiya recordings have been reissued by Warner Classics, as its parent company that acquired EMI's classical catalog.
Beethoven, titanico musicista compositore delle sinfonie, della missa solemnis, della sonata appassionata e altri capolavori, in questa sonata (la primavera), come "per Elisa", si esprime con una dolcezza esemplare, vera rappresentazione dell'insorgere periodo romantico.
Superb performance of one of the icons of the Violin repertoire. I play this work, and wish I could play it with even half of the precision and warmth.
Escolto D.Oistrakh des d'infant, a casa. Ara ja sóc vell. L'haig comparat amb altres grans violinistes (Stern, Menuhin...). Continou pensant que D. Oistrakh era únic. Schon als Kind habe ich D.Oistrakh gehört, su Hause. Jetzt bin ich alt. Ich habe ihn mit anderen großen Geigen verglichen (Stern, Menuhin...). Ich denke immer noch, dass D. Oistrakh einzigartig war.
When I first heard it on a National geographic commercial, I suddenly knew that it's Mozart, and now even though after I see that all resources say it's Beethoven, It still not works to convince me that it's Beethoven ☺
David Oistrakh simply had irreplaceable tone. Such rich, warm and tasteful sound.
Clean, strong top class playing, where the geniality of the player comes from the forceful emergence of Beethoven's spirit and not from added personal inflections.
By the way, the pianist... is Oborin.
Brandino Machiavelli strict adherence to rhythm is the key.
Lev Oberin was Vladimir Ashkenazy's teacher.
Oborin's great musical partnership with Oistrakh stretched from 1935 well into the 1970s : and from 1940 the two, with cellist Sviatoslav Knushevitsky, formed one of the great piano trios. This is simply wonderful.
Oistrakh + Oborin: nails it
Me listening: he make it sound so easy
Me going back to practise: oh
Brilliant stuff!
This is one of the most beautiful inicial themes written by Beethoven. Like Stephanie Huynh says below, it's like a flower blooming in the springtime. And Oistrakh plays it perfectly, delicate, slowly as it should be, every note with its real value, without rushing.
Did you forget that not Oistrakh is the only one playing? Or didn't you even notice? 😂
Absolutely number one interpretation! I can still remember it from my childhood, since the vinyl record was distributed in Poland in roundabout 70th of the last century..
thankyou for being born Mr.Beethoven
Nope
Whether intentional or not this is a genius comment.
Thank his mum and dad
@@grapesofwrath361 yeah his dad whooped his ass which is probably why some of his music is so powerful.
And happy belated birthday
Can't imagine better interpretation. This is just ideal.
What a beautiful performance! It melts my heart. Beethoven & Oistrakh, great artists ❤
The greatest violin sonata with smooth chord, i've loved it since i was a child.
Perfection: Composer + Performers. No More Words.
Я наслаждаюсь каждым звуком этой чудесной музыки, этого прекрасного исполнения.
This is playing straight from the wonderfully sensitive soul of Oistrakh. Simply untouchable, by any other violinist past or present.
Grumiaux
perfect rendition,captures the mood of spring,hope and joy,vitality.
Such a nice interpretation, and the stereo is giving me the violin on my right ear and the piano on the left. Thanks for posting this timeless jewel, a balm for my ears and my soul.
My favorite 2 instruments playing a beautiful piece 👌
Truly beautiful playing of this magnificent work!
This is the best interpretation I've heard!
So true. I just listened to Anne Sophie Mutter playing the same piece, and I couldn't stand it for two minutes. Oistrakh is so much better. Such precision!
i also love Elman's version, most lovely！
indeed, is the best!
no surprise, with the great Oistrakh
Agreed!

Stuart Russell Well said!
I think we can all agree that movements 1,2,3 and 4 are the best.
Lev Oborin and David Oistrak wonderfull, very expressive interpretation of this beautiful piece.
巨人が繊細な花束を編んでいるような演奏に聞こえます・・・Un esecuzione come un gigante compone un mazzo di fiore delicato...
Strength and kindness the same time ... Oistrakh ... the greatest !!
And, to be fair, Oborin is not bad too.

Leave us not neglect Mr. Oborin - He's no slouch either.
Grazie you tube per i gioielli che ci fai ascoltare
Exquisite! A perfect fusion of Classical elegance with Romantic expressivity, made possible by an absolute technical mastery.
the minute between 19:38 and 20:38 is absolutely divine.
The piano in (5:35 ~ 6:06) is good, too.
Excellent interpretation due in large part to the immaculate timing. Although others such as Szeryng or Mutter produce a warmer timbre that lends itself better to this piece, Oistrakh is not misled by thoughts of Rubato (Mutter) and waits for each note to arrive naturally rather than hurries them along (Szeryng).

Thank you for this music.
I hope I could see his playing in front of him.
Maravilhosa interpretação, para mim Oistrakh é o melhor intérprete das sonatas de Beethoven
This is performance shows Oistrakh as a virtuoso.
This was my step-mother's favorite!
Il maestro del mio maestro.
Praticamente formidabile. Violino fantastico e interpretazione favolosa. Grazie!
I Like David Oistrakh he teaches my Teacher Mr . Zdenk Vioral 🌹
Highly amusing ! So clear! So Bright! Thank you for sharing.

Yep. More of a duet.

This may have been recorded in 1962, but I have yet to hear anything that came after that can top it, except perhaps for one pianist in Kyoto.

Alan C. Elaborate?
@@zappy1812 whoosh
Rudy Pei ??? wdym i was just curious as to what he meant
@@zappy1812 Beethoven was deaf, hence he wouldn't have liked Oistrakh, as response to OP's post. It was a joke.
Coincidentally they both passed away in 1974 (and there was only 1 year difference in their births)
