- David Oistrakh plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35: 1st Movement (Part 2)
I had to cut it because the file was too big. The first part is here:
• David Oistrakh plays T...
The awkward moment when you realize the first part of this movement has over a million views, while this one has only about 240.000... Why can't people just listen to all of this masterpiece?

Actually I have long thought that this concerto has a most unpromising opening. Only at a later date one comes to be addicted to it!
You are right, but I also think it's a shame that it has been cut in half
i think the reason is that no one cares about the flute's solo
When I hear Oistrakh play Brahms I think "this is how Brahms should be played" When I hear Oistrach play Tchaikovsky I think "this is how Tchaikovsky should be played." When I hear I hear Oistrakh play Dvorak, Shostakovich, Beethoven, Mendelsohn I think the same. He is great.
You're so right, but did you forget Bach, Mozart and Sibelius? David Oistrakh excels in everything he does. He makes Tchaikovsky TCHAIKOVSKY, and so on...he has that great emotional intelligence to understand what the composer wants to say with his music.
In 1960 I owned and cherished an LP featuring Oistrakh performing the Tchaikovsky on one side and the Mendelssohn on the other. Only recently did I find this video, and Sam, I cannot thank you enough for uploading it!
We had the same album! I loved it too. Can you remember the name of the Mendelssohn piece?
Robert Taylor it’s his Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64.
Every part of my body is resonating with the passion of his interpretation. Bravissimo, Maestro!
Performed and recorded in Moscow 1968
David Oistrakh: 30 September 1908 (Odessa) - 24 October 1974 (Amsterdam)
Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra
Gennady Rozhdestvensky
That performance of the first movement was brilliant...the audience had to acknowledge. I often sit in the front row center at concerts and 'clap' with my fingers after a particularly well played movement. The musicians definitely notice.
Thank you so much for sharing. Time and time again I'm blown away by the fact that so many musical marvels that have been posted on YouTuube.
I recently found a short film involving Rubinstein, Heifitz and Piatagorsky playing chamber music. i was impressed by the fact that they played as a unit rather than as three superstars (of course they played like superstars...). So I wondered if it was time to review my opinion of Heifitz's solo playing. Not the violin playing per se, it would be impertinent, but the music emanating from it. So I found a film of him doing this concerto with Rainer (in the 50s, I guess). All I can say is that it was dispatched with staggering aplomb. But I was left none the wiser about what he thought the piece was about. It was bewildering. So I wanted to find another artist performing in the same era and voila I find Mr Oistrakh. Whatever else you can say about his playing (and there is plenty), you are left in no doubt about the ardent yearning he sees as central. I don't know what privations Heifitz suffered in early life. It can't have been easy to forge a career in a new country but somehow all of that seems to have been hidden away. I suppose in the end it's a matter of taste. For me, while there is a lot to admire about Heifitz, it is OIstrakh who I would return to.
For instance, Heifetz in Sibelius violin concerto - it was only Heifetz, he forgot about Sibelius. I couldn't listen much. Had to turn to David Oistrakh, whose interpretion is out of this world (Sibelius: Violin Concerto - Oistrakh & Ormandy (1959) (Deucalion Project). On the whole: Superb! As he is in this concerto too - and in all his other music - unbeatable King of Violinists...
6:03 - Best moment of it all. Not only is this a magnificent interpretation and execution of this piece, but at the end, Oistrakh and all the violins do the theatrical thing with bows in the air. Sounds great AND looks great!
Yes, but it is weird that it is cut in half and is a bit glitchy
Oistrakh. Simply brilliant not only technique wise but bravo to making all of us feel the thrills down our spines and the climax of the music. Tchaikovsky would be pleased with your interpretation of his music.
Cannot put into words how much I love this performance ❤
Давид Ойстрах высший пилотаж Чайковского !!!
Yes, very beautiful - hard to pick between him and Heifetz - like two supremely beautiful, and perfect, flowers of different hues. Thank you for posting - I am so grateful that the age is such that I am able to see moving film of these violin greats.
"But his humbleness and sincerity have nothing to do with why i like him lol."
My point was that these qualities come through in his playing. His *playing* sounds more sincere and involved, and hence more intense, whereas Heifetz often comes across as cold/glib/superficial in his playing.
The greatest Interpretation of this masterpiece.
So elegant! Musically speaking so in motion. Heifetzs performance has been referred to as a tornado (quote Perlman), technically! Oistrakhs performance has an oh so God mighty depth ...tears are the only way to react. Words suddenly have no meaning.
He really awesome, his concept is very clear and a amezing perfomence.
This is simply one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard. :D
Can't watch this enough!
He is brilliant and the recording is magnificent. Thanks for posting.
It is such a great performance. I have watched several clips of this piece. This one is one of the bests. I couldn't stop crying.
i was listening this concerto in the train going to Paris..so, a lot of emotion..
thank you so much samlee !!!!
One of the many great things about this performance is that he makes it all look so easy and fluid. His bowings are logical and he doesnt do the "downbow drama" to excess. Yes, Oistrakh was one of the absolute greatest!
低音の美しさ！
こんなに汗だくで演奏していたとは知りませんでした。
...it's hard not to tear-up at the conclusion of this movement...not surprised the audience burst into applause ! and in Moscow ! absolutely breath-taking...Heifitz is a stone-cold god, as Horowitz is to pianists, but often their performances, while technically supra-perfect, can suffer the same issues of coldness...monumental and unapproachable...but David Oistrakh is a man on fire...we can only hear the audible effects of his passionate, perpetual self-immolation...(how's that for Tchaikovskyism)...lol...
the first part of this clip is the most beautiful part of the song, the recurring theme in the orchestra and his beaaaaautiful high trills :) this is music!
He plays it with such a beautiful sound!!!!!
I love how right at the end the first violinist (or whoever that is) and Oistrakh are in sync :D
Magnifico! Il più grande violinista del mondo!!
Que extraordinario! Que bella interpretación de Oistrakh...
one of the greats. Dad used to play hsi LP of Oistrakh often
In my view, as a lover of violin music since I was young many decades ago, Oistrakh is by far the greater musician (musically speaking) than Heifetz, and most of today's violinists. His playing has the sensitivity, warmth and emotional elements that are frequently lacking in Heifetz's mostly technically focused and sometimes bravura playing. Oistrakh's techniques were never inferior to Heifetz; just that his playing is always subservient to the music, and music is not vehicle for techniques.
You're right, he IS chill! LOL I'd be jumping up and down for joy if I'd just whipped out that amazing performance! :)
Incredible!
it really is my favorite interpretation of this beautiful piece
Meraviglioso, grandissimo Oistrakh.
Damn, I've been watching this video several times a day everyday for over a month jnow. Its so amazing
@Cormcolash As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that Peter Tchaikovsky himself ripped himself out of his grave, dusted off tatters of clothing on his crumbling skeleton and applauded with the great fervor and fullness of heart right at the end of this movement when it was performed, so I think it's OK for the audience.
I've heard other virtuosos play this and seriously, this is just a whole level above what some of the other masters put out.
It's enthralling at every second.
@eschelar I'm pretty sure once Tschaik got himself up, he would have cried with joy that someone played his music years later, and with so much passion and precision. :)
Wonderful
Thank you for posting this ... bravo to you Sam Lee
so much beauty, yes lear23a this is heaven !!!
He IS the best!
If I were there listening I'd be in tears.
genius, amazing, beautifull
No way, sometimes people deserve to be clapped for in between movements. Oistrakh deserved it. I saw Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg perform this concerto live and she ALMOST got a standing ovation after the first movement lol.
Yes, it's Gennady Rozhdestvensky and the Moscow Philharmonic orchestra, performed in Tchaikovsky Hall in 1968.
Its almost impossible not to clap after the first movement. I know you're not supposed to but I mean really.
This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)
que empaque!!!!, mi preferido por siempre.
When someone performs this amazingly, the last thing the audience cares about is manners. I wouldn't have waited till the end of the concerto to clap lol
Wow, Lorenzo, what a sharp ear you have! You're RIGHT! But I'm sure we can forgive this little lapse if we get such a performance! :)
Thank you so much for this, yay Oistrakh
Que es maravilloso
Legend!!!!
SamLee, you are wonderful! Thanks so much for giving us the complete performance. Does anyone know who the conductor is or where this can be found (hopefully) on DVD?
superbe en effet !
Что можно сказать о такой игре и о Чайковском:"Только слушать".
superb...
BRAVO...
Who came here after TwoSetViolin mentioned his name?
Plain epic. Enough said.
For sure, that's why i set my playlist to autoplay.
Well done! Bravo SamLeo
Hmm, well I personally don't mind arrogance bc i'm a cocky person myself (or so says everyone). I think heifetz's "effortlessness" contributes to the music because when you have a piece that is not technically challenging at all then all you have to worry about is making music. Oistrakh is my 2nd favorite violinist though, and it is almost impossible to decide for me who plays this better. But his humbleness and sincerity have nothing to do with why i like him lol.
No one played this like Oistrakh. Especially not the butcher Isaac Stern, or the others who think it's a race. Of the thousands of classical albums and CDs I own, the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35, with Oistrakh and Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra is far and away my favorite.
Oistrakh owns
Thank you for this Sam lee
I think, personally, that Oistrakh is better in the "grave, or -Idon´t know how to say , english is not my language.
In any case he is a genius.
Again, thanks
number one
Beautiful! Should be required listening for the 21st Century.
che brivido lungo la schiena!
Russian composer is excellent. I am a Chinese Am. But, I do give him my respect.
Many years ago, when my children were young, we were having Sunday dinner listening to Oistrakh, and I said, 'I wonder if he makes love to his wife as beautifully as he does his violin. My children, mute, just looked at me...
+Kathryn Vowell wow Kathryn, that is what I thought too
+Guenter Zaenker Gienter, how rare a question is this? It came to me, though, and to you. Thank you, Rare Friend!
+Kathryn Vowell I am sorry I misspelled your first name, Guenter.
Anyone who thinks that there shouldn't be applause after this movement is insane.
I am shocked - I just went up to cloud 9 and stayed there forever....
look at him when he finishes, hes like," yeah im chill i just whipped off a 20 minute concerto movement no biggie" ...wish that was me
@AbsoluteZ3R0
Absolute-ly right!!
Bravo!!
Please may I know when was this performed, and which orchestra played with David
Горд за човешкия род е композитора и изпълнителя
I think maybe it was because it's a pretty hard movement and they just did it out of the excitement of the moment. I havent listened to this recording in awhile so i cant remember if they did it in between the other movements either so i couldnt really give you a definite answer. I think thats all it was though.
@i4DoL Kogan
That's just the first movement, including the other movements it's a 45 minute concerto
I always hated people that going on such concerts only to cough. There is just no recordings where nobody coughed except those made in studio, though those ones are lacking passion mostly. Not that it diminishes performance by any big means, but it's irritating. And yes - Tchaikovsky was-is-and forever will be - an absolute genius. Takes everything to master his pieces.
Has anyone a recording of Oistrakh playing the ballade from marcel Poot? Im working on this piece and my teacher told that it was his piece he played as an extra
Since when do movements contribute to the music? Music is sound, not visual movement. Whether oistrakh or heifetz move around when they play is not important (unless not moving hinders their playing), what's important is the SOUND coming from their violins.
Could this video start at any better part of the concerto? It's my favorite part, that's for sure!
My point was that his sincerity affects his playing: where Oistrakh sounds involved in the music, Heifetz sounds cold/glib/superficial. Hence, Oistrakh's music often builds significantly more in intensity than Heifetz'.
oistrakh and heifetz are so uncomparable and genius
If you think Heifetz is a machine then you don't like him lol. I don't think he's a machine at all, close your eyes and just listen and you will realize this. I barely move when I play but people tell me all the time my playing is very passionate, there are many violinists like this, including Yehudi Menuhin and Leonid Kogan. Moving should be natural, that helps you best express your emotions, to some people moving is unnatural, and thus staying still is best for expression
we are two
The conductor is,I guess, Genady Rozhdestvensky
@i4DoL the guy rocks man))
tsss esta bien sabroso como lo toca oistrakh
Do you have the other movements?
I think I agree. I thought Heifetz's was the best but now I think I like Oistrakh's a little better
WHEN? WHERE? WITH WHAT OTHER MUSICIANS AND CONDUCTOR? PLEASE INCLUDE ALL ARCHIVAL INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF VIEWERS.
one thing, i can't download it...
Dites moi si je me trompe: l'intonation ne serait elle pas approximative à 1:57 ???
Ça n'enlève rien à la meilleure interprétation du Tchaikovsky Concerto avec celle de C. Ferras et T. Varga
refined
You seem to have inferred that I dislike Heifetz. I never said he was particularly cold and superficial, but he comes across that way much more so than Oistrakh.
(continued) Heifetz acts like everything is so 'effortless' to a fault; he comes across as a more superficial and arrogant musician than Oistrakh. Heifetz has a brilliant technique, but Oistrakh sounds more involved with music and also produces a warmer tone. Heifetz does the staccato better in this piece, but that's about it.
