Oistrakh's performance here is a complete revelation. Hindemith's concerto has never before blossomed into such rewarding lyricism. Even the orchestral contribution under the composer himself is strikingly passionate and with the soloist to provide many moments when the ear is ravished by the beauty of phrasing and inflection, the listener has much to enjoy. The recording is one of the very finest ever made of the combination of solo violin and orchestra. The Oistrakh/ Horenstein performance completely displaces its competitors. It is marvelously well recorded -- Oistrakh has never sounded so real on a disc before -- and the reading owes nearly as much to the conductor as the soloist. The expansive dignity of the opening of the brass sets shows immediately how fine the orchestral contribution is going to be and Oistrakh's playing throughout is ravishing, raising the statue of the work immeasurably. The slow movement is especially memorable.

Talk about dream teams. How can you do better than Oistrakh and Horenstein together in XRCD sound? You can't. Great classical playing doesn't get ANY better than this! Oitrakh is his usual brilliant self in this outstanding recording. The tone of his violin is so real and lifelike, it's doubtful that you'll ever hear Oistrakh's violin reproduced with such stunning realism. Horenstein's conducting is, as usual, unsurpassed. You have to buy this XRCD. Once you do, listen be amazed at the sheer briliance of it's performers!
