About

Like Sviatoslav Richter before him, David Oistrakh [1908-1974] the renowned Soviet violinist and violist liked to visit Prague. He was the dedicatee of numerous violin works, including both of Dmitri Shostakovich's violin concerti, and the violin concerto by Aram Khachaturian. He is considered one of the preeminent violinists of the 20th century. His first foreign engagement after the war was to the newly founded 'Prague Spring' Festival in 1947 at the invitation of Rafael Kubelík. He was to return seven times. With fellow Odessan, Frida Bauer, here he gives a selection of delightful instrumental masterpieces from the 20th century, uniting Eastern Europe and the West.
