David Oistrakh was arguably the finest violinist of the 20th century, and this 1956 Columbia recording showcases his artistry with two masterworks: Tartini's "Devil's Trill" Sonata in G minor and Mozart's Sonata in B-flat major, K. 454. Oistrakh's tone is warm yet crystalline, his phrasing impeccable—there's an unfussy intelligence to his interpretation. The "Devil's Trill" receives a reading that's musical above all else, while Mozart's K. 454 sparkles with elegance. This is a classic recording from a golden age of vinyl-era classical documentation, and vintage Columbia pressings have aged beautifully. Essential for serious classical collectors and anyone appreciating violin performance at the highest level.
