Although David Oistrakh died in Amsterdam some over 30 years ago, on 24 October 1974, this set brings him life again, giving us an absolutely true portrait of his great artistic vitality.

David Oistrakh was without a doubt one of the greatest violinists and has his place in musical history among other legends of the instrument such as Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, Yehudi Menuhin or Isaac Stern. He was also the most renowned Soviet violinist. His recordings were global hits and remain milestones of the catalogue. David Oistrakh is famed for the fullness of his tone, his unequaled sense of legato, a warm, powerful and deep sound, his incredible mastery of the bow, and an immediately recognizable sonority.
