5.0 out of 5 stars Superb survey of one of the all-time greatest violinists, 28 Aug 2005

By	Marc Haegeman "Marc Haegeman" (Gent, Belgium) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

We haven't been exactly short on releases by the great David Oistrakh, whether in the LP days or on CD. The trouble was that his recorded legacy - one of the most extensive in history by any violinist - has been made accessible through a multitude of labels, often in a haphazard fashion, and even more often for a very short time. The arrival of this new 10 CD-box has to be saluted for its effort to group a splendid selection of live recordings by Oistrakh made in the USSR between 1939 and 1968 with the Moscow Philharmonic, the Leningrad Philharmonic and the USSR Radio Symphony Orchestra, with some of the foremost conductors of the day (Alexander Gauk, Kirill Kondrashin, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Kurt Sanderling).

Undoubtedly, collectors will already have the majority of the recordings presented here (although a lot is no longer available), but this box covers all the great concertos and as a survey of the art of "King David" it is presently unbeatable.

The sound quality is variable, of course, but totally acceptable regarding the age of some of the documents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain!, 9 Nov 2008

By	Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Most of recordings in this set come from now deleted Russia Revelation & Russian Disc original release. As far as my ears can detect, there is no difference in sound quality from the original. All performances included here display Oistrakh's incredibly focussed & rich tones no other violinists can create. With this budget price, it is irresistable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource, 2 May 2009

By	Malcolm Turner (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Taken from live Russian performances - mainly of reasonable quality in spite of their age, this is a wonderful picture of probably the century's greatest violinist. Some of the performances surpass the more famous western recordings he made, and some concerto performances are just not available elsewhere - such as the Mendelssohn concerto. A must for any serious student of violinists.
