The highlight of the wide-ranging program on this DVD is the world premiere performance, in 1967, of the Shostakovich Second Violin Concerto, composed, as was the first Violin Concerto, with Oistrakh in mind. The work, described by one critic as “a troubled sound world” with its complex thematic material and jolting harmonic shifts, holds no terrors for its dedicatee, who provides an assured and brilliant performance.
The sonic watercolours of Debussy’s lovely G minor Sonata and a group of diverse shorter works amply demonstrate Oistrakh’s versatility and mastery of style. The works with Frida Bauer are from a 1972 recital.
