About this album

This set pairs two of the violin repertory’s most contrasting works in authoritative performances by David Oistrakh. Mozart’s Concerto No. 3 brings Classical poise, elegance and sparkling lyricism, while Prokofiev’s Concerto No. 2 offers darker, more searching late-modern intensity. Recorded with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Alceo Galliera, the album highlights Oistrakh’s commanding tone, expressive phrasing and technical assurance across both styles. First issued in 1962, it stands as a fine example of mid-century recital recording, bringing together repertoire, orchestral discipline and one of the great violinists of the era.
