Customer Reviews

Definitive legacy of a great artist5
What a wonderful collection - truly a definitive archive of one of the century's greatest artists. Oistrakh's combination of power and serenity, with that individual unmistakeable sound make this a must-have for anyone who enjoys listening to the violin. Even more so if you play - to hear just what the instrument is capable of. In particular, the accounts of the Beethoven and Brahms concertos are the finest I have ever heard. Recordings can be cold - you have to play a bit safe - but these recordings have all the magic of a live performance.
I had a number of these recordings on LP - if anything, the sound is better on these CDs and for the huge number of recordings - what a bargain.

Excellent Value and quality5
Title says it all. Quality of playing and sound is good. A few works are repeated but with different orchestras/conductors. This allows some comparisons and encourages thought about interpretations, at least for me as someone musically uneducated. An amazing price. Can't go wrong.
